    Waited 2 week to get into the shelter, got a bed reserved (which they “don’t do”) and after a hour and half of getting my hopes up in the intake, my needs were “too much” as I didn’t have a place to go afterwards. Then what is an emergency shelter for? I have nowhere to stay as a 17 year old and shelters won’t even accept me. Further the bridge for youth spreads misinformation to non-family members, claiming I didn’t want to stay.

    Horrible. Threw my babies stuff away. Always had my baby waiting by herself to even get noticed because of her color. Just horrible. When we first wanted to get in they almost told me and my baby no because of our color because we had done nothing wrong.

    I do not stay at the bridge but I get services (therapy, So What If I Am group) and from my experiences the people are amazing! I also met people that have stayed/staying there that love the community! I have been going to the SWIIA group for more than a year, the help is amazing! They are amazing allies of the LGBT+ community!
