Subject: Bridge to receive $6.9 million for Supportive Housing

The Bridge is excited to receive $6.9 million to redevelop Bishop House in Central Harlem. This funding will enable us to provide additional supportive housing for seriously mentally ill New Yorkers who are homeless or reentering the community from incarceration.


The Bridge will increase the number of units in the building to 71 units from the current 20 and provide New Yorkers with necessary services such as case management, mental health services and vocational training.


"as we build back our state better than it was before, we must focus on helping our most vulnerable New Yorkers who have suffered so much during this pandemic," Cuomo said in a statement.
