Family Gateway: A Homeless Shelter for Children and Families
Family Gateway is a shelter in downtown Dallas for children and families affected by homelessness. We provide housing, educational, and social services.
The story of Dallas LIFE starts with a man named Reverend Robert J. Key, one of the founders of the Union Gospel Mission in 1949. With Dallas’ homeless population growing in the post war years, Reverend Key left UGM to begin establishing the Dallas Rescue Mission. It was this endeavor that would become Dallas LIFE, now the largest homeless shelter in North Texas.
Dallas Rescue Mission opened its doors in 1954 in a small storefront location on Commerce Street. The first location was just a few blocks from the city jail and housed 25 men each night. There, Rev. Key would minister to the men who came to him nightly for shelter and a hot meal. Rev. Key and his volunteers kept the shelter open every night for the next 25 years

MAKING OUR COMMUNITY A BETTER HOME FOR EVERYONE
The mission of the Housing Crisis Center is to prevent homelessness and to stabilize those at risk in decent, affordable, and permanent housing, and to empower them to solve their own housing problems in the future.
HCC has two kinds of programs, serving different homeless populations. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides the majority of our funding and determines the guidelines we follow. Clients come to our programs from the Veteran’s Administration or caseworkers at area homeless shelters.
Unfortunately, we can’t take walk-ins. If you have a housing-related problem, please call our hotline at (214) 828-4244, and our counselors will help point you in the right direction, or attend one of our free legal clinics.

HOME SWEET HOME PROGRAM
The Salvation Army Home Sweet Home Program helps prevent homelessness and support residential stability by providing homeless and at-risk households the tools to effectively budget and manage income and expenses.
Through The Salvation Army’s Home Sweet Home Program, professional case workers, along with friends or partners in the community, can prevent homelessness not only at the point of family eviction, but beyond.
To put a family back together after it is broken requires more time, skills and financial resources than many families have available. Through financial education, case management, financial assistance (1-6 months) and monthly budgeting, families may be spared months of misery, saving the community thousands of dollars in sheltering and rehabilitation.
To be selected as a participant in the Home Sweet Home Program, a family must show a strong desire to change, improve their family’s situation and work within the program’s guidelines.
We offer the Home Sweet Home Program at the following locations:

The Dallas Housing Authority (DHA) has a simple mission – to provide qualified families with safe, decent and affordable housing of the highest quality consistent with available funding. The uncertain economic times we are experiencing have made the way the mission is carried out more critical than ever. We have to ensure that we rein in administrative spending to maximize the funding available to improve the properties we own, explore new development opportunities in a wider range of neighborhoods and expand our partnerships with others who share our vision. That said, I expect nothing less than excellence from DHA staff, and responsibility from our residents and clients.
