Building Forward: New leaders, New Care and First Medical Respite Program Serving St. Louis's Unhoused Population 

Bridge of Hope is entering a powerful new chapter—and we need your support to bring it to life. With new leadership at the helm and a bold plan to expand services, we're preparing to launch our first-ever medical respite program for people experiencing homelessness.

This innovative model of care will provide 24/7 medical supervision, behavioral health support, nutritious meals, clean clothing, spiritual care, and a safe place to heal. Our new program is designed to close critical gaps in our region’s healthcare system—reducing ER visits and improving outcomes for our most vulnerable neighbors.

With the appointment of new CEO, Sonia Deal, a seasoned healthcare leader and decorated veteran, and the addition of Dr. Sharon Richardson Howell and Reverend Kelli Braggs to our Board of Directors, Bridge of Hope is building forward with strength, vision, and compassion.

But we can’t do it without you.

Your gift today helps us:

  • Restore health, dignity, and hope to unhoused individuals

  • Provide on-site healthcare and essential recovery services

  • Launch a first-of-its-kind medical respite facility in North St. Louis
