Day Shelter Services
We are devoted to providing the best possible level of service to each Guest who walks through our gate. Our day shelter provides free access to showers, laundry, case management, and meals. Guests can rest in a safe environment while connecting with critical resources such as healthcare, employment support, and housing programs.
Night Shelter Services
We are committed to meeting the needs of every Guest seeking shelter and safety. On-site night emergency shelter is available for high-demand guests. If the shelter reaches full capacity (249), we collaborate with housing and shelter partners to provide off-site referrals and placements to ensure all guests are served.
The Bridge has played a pivotal role in revitalizing downtown and its neighboring communities by providing a centralized resource for the homeless population, reducing street homelessness, and empowering individuals with the tools and support needed to achieve recovery and self-sufficiency.
