CAS REFERRALS
To start the process for a CAS (Coordinated Access System) referral in Dallas for housing and homelessness services, individuals should follow these steps:
- Contact a CAS Access Point: Reach out to a designated access point, such as a homeless shelter, outreach team, or service provider like The Stew Pot (214-746-2785) or Austin Street Center (214-428-4242). Common entry points include:
- Shelters: Austin Street Center (1717 Jeffries St, Dallas, TX 75226) or The Bridge (1818 Corsicana St, Dallas, TX 75201).
- Outreach Teams: Metro Relief (partnered with The Stew Pot) or Housing Crisis Center’s street outreach.
- Hotlines: Call the Dallas Homeless Services Hotline at 1-888-411-6802 for guidance.
- Complete a Coordinated Entry Assessment: At an access point, individuals undergo a standardized assessment (often using the VI-SPDAT tool) to evaluate their housing needs, vulnerability, and eligibility for programs like Rapid Rehousing or Permanent Supportive Housing. This requires providing personal information and details about their homelessness situation.
- Work with a Case Manager or Navigator: After the assessment, a case manager or housing navigator will prioritize the individual based on need and match them to appropriate services or housing programs. Referrals are made to organizations like The Stew Pot or Austin Street Center, depending on availability and eligibility.
- Provide Documentation: Be prepared to provide identification (if available) and any relevant documents. If ID is missing, many access points can assist with restoration.
- Follow Up: Stay in contact with the assigned case manager, as the referral process may involve waiting lists or additional steps to secure housing or services.
Tips:
- Visit during business hours (e.g., Austin Street Center intake: Mon–Fri, 11 AM–4 PM) or call to confirm access point hours.
- No direct self-referrals are accepted for most housing programs; you must go through a CAS access point.
- If unsheltered, connect with street outreach teams who can initiate the process on-site.
For immediate help finding an access point, call The Stew Pot (214-746-2785) or Austin Street Center (214-428-4242), or visit www.housingforward.org for more information on Dallas’s Coordinated Entry System.
