The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center

From the first day that we have had to be here the assistants in the Welcome building have been so rude and condescending. You can come to them as polite and kind as can be and they will still be rude with a bad attitude. Now the Overflow list, tell me how you can do what you’re suppose to do, go up to the desk make the request and not make the list and still get put out to where you have to find somewhere to go. The reason why I came here is because I didn’t have anywhere to go. I wouldn’t recommend anybody come here if you somehow become homeless for one reason or another.

I would actually give this 0 stars if I could. My wife and I tried going here for some shelter so we both could recuperate and rest. (We were referred by Our Calling.) We were both exhausted and drained. She was reading over the paperwork and had read about them going through your things at any given time. She placed the papers on the table and we both walked out. The security guard asked us if we got in and we both told him that we weren't signing up for prison.

Gave me an late pass when I began working for a return @ 2am, I made my return at 1:30am to be told my bed was lost because there was no record of the pass. Additionally, got a three month ban from the location because after losing my bed they would not return my belongings. Had to call the police 2 to have them give me my social security card which was sent there in the mail. It is my understanding that because I was recovering fast, gaining a job within the first month of being there, that they were using me to make an example out of. The idea being if I can receive punishment for just holding the facility to its own rules/putting in grievances that anyone can receive punishment for anything so make no complaints.

I don't have an option. There are people God prioritizes and would put in a place to only help others and of those people we would expect them to help in doing the same. I'm not sure what these people who should be assisting are putting in place of their priorities but I believe it's causing people to tear down homes. If you made friends on welfare, I can only come and go to expect a decent wage, nothing less, nothing more. The intake building all year claims to be broke. The welcome building claims to be broke. Instead of references, a list of resources is quite often made a last resort. Sad.

Review: A Grateful Reflection on The Bridge and the Women Who Showed Up for Me I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the kindness, encouragement, and support I’ve received at The Bridge during a deeply difficult transition in my life. When I was overwhelmed, displaced, and unsure of what to do next, two women in particular made all the difference. Miss Brown spoke to me over the phone for nearly 30 minutes. She didn’t rush me. She listened. She walked me through next steps with clarity, patience, and care — reminding me of what was possible when everything felt uncertain. Her voice held peace. Her guidance was grounded. And in that moment, I needed both more than I can say. Miss Sharon K., who completed my intake, showed me the kind of advocacy that doesn’t just check boxes — it restores dignity. She encouraged me, spoke life into my circumstances, and made sure I understood that I wasn’t alone. That I mattered. That I had options. Her presence gave me hope. Tonika M. also offered practical and informed support. She took time to advise me of specific housing options I might be eligible for and connected me with resources that aligned with my needs. She didn’t just point me in a direction — she helped illuminate the path. People often speak up when they’ve been wronged — and rightfully so. But I want to be someone who also speaks up when people do it right. So thank you, Mrs. Brown, Sharon K., and Tonika M., for showing up with grace and wisdom during one of the hardest moments of my life. I see you. I appreciate you. And I pray The Bridge continues to be a refuge for those of us who need a soft landing while we rebuild. With deep gratitude, Virginia Williams

0 stars. Some staff and guards are nice The men and women (some) are nice. Bird shit all over the place outside and in the outside bathroom. Im on a mat but some women are very noisy. They make you stay outside in the heat early in the mornings, for breakfast lunch and dinner. They make you stay outside until 8:30 would give 0 stars some staff and guards think they are all that . As soon as I get my tx id card in am out of here. Food very disgusting. I have been in other shelters in new york, Los Angeles and Wichita Falls TX This is the worst one.

I did everything i was expected to do, and tonight im back on the street at 4.30 pm with no options because of an administrative error by a case manager who neglected to update my file and include me in the night shelter. I will not have dinner to eat and I will risk arrest for vagrancy I'm about to start emailing board members since the voicemailbox is full this is unacceptable and poor performance

Very beautiful and Caring place. I loved volunteering. I cannot wait to help again. The people are so thankful and friendly. Very humbling experience. A must do on your bucket list. I encourage everyone to go online an find the information and volunteer or contribute in any way possible. The serve 3 meals a day. It is only 1.5 hours and I loved my experience. I'm definitely volunteering on a regular basis. I poured water and visited with the guests. Loved it.
