Heartland Bridges is a short-term transitional housing program offered by Heartland Family Service that is designed to assist people with a diagnosed mental health or co-occurring condition while they transition to stability in the community. The goal of the program is to help clients secure permanent housing and connect them with community-based mental health or substance abuse services and avoid unnecessary incarceration.

The building is composed of 15 beds that are arranged in either single- or double-occupancy bedrooms and bathrooms. The space also offers a family-style kitchen, dining room, and living room.

Staff can help clients:
-- Create a plan for housing
-- Connect to services to improve physical and mental health

-- Support in finding employment or applying for Social Security benefits
