Youth Homelessness Resources

Promise House operates as an independent 501(c)(3) organization. Since our founding, we have dramatically expanded our programming to include crisis intervention, transitional housing, pregnant and parenting teen services, counseling, education, and outreach to neglected, abused, and at-risk youth ages 0-24. Since 1984, Promise House has had an open door – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – to children, teens and families in crisis serving approximately 1,700 youth and families annually. By improving each client’s chances for long-term stability, Promise House works to prevent chronic homelessness in North Texas.

Today we serve youth ages newborn to 21-years-old through three primary programs: Emergency Shelter for children that includes outpatient Counseling Services for individuals and families, our Transitional Living Program comprised of homes and our Youth Resource Center that also houses our Outreach Services that are at the core of the programs.

Dallas Hope Center is open for business having invited our first guest in July of 2018.

Longer term, Dallas Hope Charities has hired a Director of Development to create a sustainability plan including grass-roots funding from the LGBT community, corporate sponsors, charitable grants, and potentially local and federal funding as the operation grows. We do not believe any governmental funding is available to fund the initial startup of this initiative.

We need your help to fund and grow this vital service in Dallas to house and support the community so no LGBT young adult in North Texas faces the prospect of homelessness alone.
