"Building Bridges" is the brainchild of Genesis Transitional Housing Ministries Incorporated (herein referred to as GTHM Inc.) a value faith-based program based in Queens, New York.  Our main mission is to provide services for homeless and sheltered men and women in combination with substance abuse treatment.  Our goals are to provide them with safe drug free transitional housing; to stabilize employment, to provide them with easy access to ongoing treatment and support; to help them become self-sufficient so that they can start a new life and to help them fight their struggle with addiction and break the cycle of substance abuse.

Our program offers a holistic approach to helping the clients meet individual needs. We aim to build upon all the facets of their social life using value-based principles as a foundation.  We provide pastoral care, housing assistance, education, and group parenting skill workshops, mentoring, job training and job site coordination.

Accordingly, GTHM, Inc. has developed a program suited for the homeless in New York City and the surrounding boroughs. This program will focus on men and women, who will be allowed to recieve counseling, drug and alcohol abuse intervention, relapse prevention sessions, education, job training and general life skills.
