Bridge of Hope Ministries

Through access to supportive services and advocacy, Bridge of Hope Ministries (BoH) transforms lives in the Ville/Greater Ville community of north St. Louis city through The Bridge Program. The Bridge Program is an inclusive, low-barrier drop-in support center where adults find safety, spiritual care and assistance with immediate needs e.g. showers, laundry, food and clothing. The Bridge Program helps to reduce racial disparities by facilitating access to housing and reducing barriers to specialized supportive services. Its wrap-around case management program connects individuals to substance abuse treatment, medical and behavioral health care, job and educational programs and legal services. For 2023, through the Bridge Program, 30 individuals agreed to a care plan to secure IDs, employment and housing; 5 individuals completed 90-day treatment program for substance abuse; and 2 individuals received and maintained full time permanent employment.
