[/quote] The Bridge opened in May 2008. The $17.4 million facility is the key component in achieving Dallas' 10-year plan to eradicate homelessness by 2014. It's often referred to as a one-stop service area for the homeless, providing not only food and shelter, but also access to care managers like Oaks, onsite health care facilities, legal aid and job assistance as it seeks to move its guests from street chaos to shelter care to independent living. http://www.dallasobserver.com/2009-08-27/news/a-bridge-to-somewhere/full/ [/quote] I'm no longer in Dallas or Texas as I've written throughout this thread during my travels over the past few days.

Original Message
So as of today I am officially homeless.
I won't bore you all with long sob stories.
About a year ago lost my job of twelve years, couldn't find new work, made some bad financial choices, and today I sit in the public library on my old laptop typing away as all my posessions lay in three small suitcases very close to where I am sitting.
I think this might possibly be the worst place to be homless, given the horrible heat.
So I have seventy-five cents to my name, am not sure where I'll be putting my head down to sleep tonight, and was wondering if anyone else out there has been in a similar prediciment.
I'll update my story here as I can. Maybe a few people will find it interesting.
