Community Bridge Meeting
Message from Alicia Romano, CEO of Community Bridge
As of January 2024, over 1,000 individuals in Allegheny County were experiencing unsheltered homelessness. To address this challenge, the Department of Human Services partnered with Community Human Services (CHS) to establish the Community Bridge Program at 5300 Stanton Avenue, which began accepting residents in September 2024.
The Community Bridge Program offers a helping hand to low-risk, unhoused individuals, focusing on finding employment and creating a pathway to stable housing.
We warmly invite you to join us for a Community Meeting to learn more about the program and how it is making a difference.
This meeting will provide updates on the program and offer a chance to meet the Community Bridge Team and CHS leadership. We welcome your questions, feedback, and ideas to ensure this program continues to benefit everyone.
Additional Information:
On-street parking is available.
Nearby bus routes include 61A, 61B, 61C, 71B, and P3.
Light refreshments will be served.
Thank you for joining this important conversation and helping us build a stronger, more inclusive community.

Trick or Treat in Morningside
The City reminds residents to drive with caution and slow down during trick-or-treating hours. Let’s all do our part to keep our kids safe and be on the lookout for any risks.
For a safe trick-or-treating experience, follow these tips:
Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors.
Choose face paint and makeup instead of masks if possible to reduce the risk obstructing a child's vision.
Have kids carry flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers.
Make sure costumes are the correct size to prevent trips and falls.
If you are escorting children, please keep an eye on the road for vehicles.
Don't walk on the street. Stay on sidewalks and cross streets when safe at intersections and crosswalks.
