Our goal is to help each man and woman we serve find a permanent place to call home. We accomplish this by serving unique individuals--customizing our approach to each person's needs--while developing innovative solutions for ending homelessness. There are more than 4,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in Dallas--and since January, our staff has served more than 1,900 people and helped 186 individuals find permanent housing.
"It's a very new beginning, coming from Austin Street into my own place and I can call it home. I can go home, you know? I don't have to say I'm going back to the shelter. No, I'm going home." -Irene, former Austin Street client
"Homelessness knows no boundaries. Anyone could experience it, whether one day or one year and beyond. There are so many stigmas associated with homelessness that aren't true or fair--we are all these people." -Steve, Austin Street staff
