General Information:
Transitional Housing for Homeless Families Bell Bridge Housing is a rehabilitative housing program which allows a longer-term option (up to one year for qualified candidates), providing more time for homeless families to hone basic living skills, getting them on track for successful independent living. Qualifying participants must meet the definition of homelessness, have an income, not require a drug/alcohol treatment program or been convicted of a violent crime, and demonstrate a desire to accomplish goals they establish working with staff. Individualized support services include budget counseling that encourages debt payment and savings, educational workshops, and referral services to other community agencies. The Bridge Housing program utilizes eight apartment units in York City and two units (Next Step) on the third floor of Bell Family Shelter. The Bell Bridge Housing Program is funded through the Department of Public Welfare/Housing Assistance Program to assist homeless families of York County in establishing permanent housing. The Bridge Children’s Program also receives funding from the United Way of York County.
