DALLAS — The Bridge, Dallas' new homeless shelter, terminated a contract with PATH Partners of Los Angeles, a nonprofit that was providing social services such as finding housing.
The termination is by mutual agreement. The shelter has been overwhelmed, with 400 to 500 people every night instead of the 300 it was built for, and wanted an agency that could respond more quickly.

The Bridge was never intended to be a homeless shelter. The city was always careful to call it a "homeless assistance center" designed to aid hundreds at a time only in the short-term until they were referred appropriately to substance abuse treatment, mental health care, etc. No matter who the city partners with, there will continue to be a backlog of homeless people until all neighborhoods community-wide have ample safe affordable housing.
