NYC Health + Hospitals officials have opened the first “Bridge to Home” facility in near Midtown West in New York City. The new, innovative support model is designed to help patients living with severe mental illness who are ready to be discharged from the hospital but do not have a place to go.
Bridge to Home is funded as part of the New York City Mayor Eric Adams administration’s $650-million plan to address homelessness and support New Yorkers experiencing serious mental illness. The Bridge to Home program aims to fill this critical gap between inpatient treatment and permanent housing placement, offering patients a stable, home-like environment with onsite clinical services and behavioral health care to ensure they can continue their recovery while transitioning to permanent housing.
The Midtown West facility provides single rooms to 46 guests, when at full capacity, with dedicated on-site clinical, behavioral health and administrative support. The first-of-its-kind model was initially unveiled as part of Mayor Adams’ 2025 State of the City address.
