On any given night, the Arlington Life Shelter provides homeless men, women and children a safe place to sleep. But the help doesn’t end there. Case management, access to childcare, empowerment and financial classes, food assistance and more is all in reach within our doors —24/7, 365 days per year.
Right now, the number of people experiencing housing insecurity is only increasing. The cost of living is pricing our neighbors out of basic necessities like food, rent, the ability to afford medicine, and so much more. Utilities, food, and rent all cost so much that many people are forced to go without simply to survive.
This North Texas Giving Day, you can help.
Founded in 1987, The Arlington Life Shelter is a 501(c)3 organization in Arlington dedicated to offering critical services and support to North Texans facing, or experiencing, homelessness.
We started as an emergency cold weather shelter in 1987. But in the past 37 years, we’ve evolved to address the growing needs of our community: to not only help people become housed, but work on critical skills needed such as financial classes, parenting classes, employment services and much more. Now, our services are critical.
Whether someone is homeless because of lack of affordable housing, underemployment/undemployment, medical debt, domestic violence, eviction, limited resources or any other reason, we provide:
Gifts like YOURS make that possible.
The mission of Arlington Life Shelter is to promote self-sufficiency by providing shelter, employment programs and transitional services for North Texans impacted by homelessness.
Community hosted shelter supply/food drives
Corporate and community volunteer groups to serve meals
The Arlington Life Shelter is committed to supporting every neighbor in our supportive services. As people across more demographics are impacted by homelessness, we believe it is especially important to provide encouragement, resources and care without discrimination or judgement.
We envision a community where all individuals, families, and children affected by homelessness have access to the services and support necessary to restore ability and achieve personalized success.
