Organization Information
Mission Statement
Pope Francis Center exists to provide meals, supportive services, crisis response, and housing assistance to Detroit community members in need, especially those experiencing homelessness.
Description
Pope Francis Center provides vital services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Located in the heart of downtown Detroit, the Day Center welcomes nearly 250 guests daily and provides them with nutritious meals, showers, laundry, and access to doctors, dentists, lawyers, and housing providers through free clinics. The organization has been serving Detroit’s most vulnerable citizens since 1990, and is committed to eradicating homelessness in our city.
Bridge Housing Campus (BHC), located in Detroit’s Core City Neighborhood, provides a holistic response to the complex and interconnected barriers to housing. The Campus includes 40 studio apartments where residents will stay for 90-120 days with access to medical, psychological, addiction, social, and job-readiness services, as well as housing advocacy and support. Our goal is to support and empower our residents to become and stay housed upon leaving BHC, while creating a long-term relationship to support them as they live independently.
