A brand new multi-million dollar homeless shelter opens its doors in Dallas today. The 21 million dollar taxpayer-funded facility called The Bridge is designed to provide mental health and addiction treatment for those who have been living on the streets for extended periods of time.
Unlike most area shelters, The Bridge will not require users to pay a fee or go into treatment. It will also stay open during the day, when most shelters are closed.
