Bridge Ministries is a non-profit organization, works to prevent homelessness by providing direct emergency assistance to at risk individuals and families. Bridge Ministries focuses on preventing homelessness in the Birmingham area by assisting people in crisis situations to pay their rent or utility bills or to secure temporary emergency lodging. A number of its clients are referred by local hospitals and hospice services. Bridge Ministries also helps individuals to obtain dental care, eyeglasses, prescription drugs, and other durable medical goods. It also maintains a small pantry of non-perishable food and personal hygiene products. Bridge Ministries will arrange for short-term emergency lodging and food at a local motel with cooking facilities. Shelter directors or case managers make these referrals after the family completes the intake interview at the shelter. As soon as space is available, the family enters the shelter. When the family situation stabilizes and they are ready to move out of the shelter, Bridge Ministries may help with security deposits or first month’s rent to help them obtain housing.
