We believe the answer to homelessness is a home.
At The Bridge, our mission is to empower adults experiencing homelessness in Dallas with the tools to homeless recovery as they move into sustainable housing.
When one of our Guests exits homelessness into sustainable housing, we want to help them make their new home their own.
(Did you know that in 2021, The Bridge helped 356 Guests move into a new home? That’s almost 1 person every day!)
There are two ways you can help our Guests in their transition out of homelessness:
Give to our Welcome Home Furniture Fund
We are thrilled to launch our NEW Welcome Home Furniture Fund. Every housing COC-funded Bridge Guest will be eligible to receive furniture for their new home.
Our goal is for each Guest to receive a bed frame, mattress, table & chairs, sofa, and a nightstand.

Build a Welcome Basket
A Welcome Basket celebrates our Guests’ recovery from homelessness and supports them on their new journey by providing immediate necessities they will need when they transition into their own home.
You can build your own Welcome Basket by using the guide below and drop it off at The Bridge* or simply purchase items off of our Amazon Wishlist and they will be delivered directly to The Bridge.
