 For
23 years, Austin Street Centre has been at the forefront of
helping the homeless
and poor of Dallas. Now, a nationally recognized therapeutic
community, we provide emergency shelter, food, showers, medications,
counseling, and job training programs free of charge
to those who come here.
More than 400 men, women and children receive safe shelter
here each night. More than 100 participate in our highly
effective step-up programs, including substance abuse counseling, psychotherapies,
and psycho-social counseling. These counseling services, all
free of charge,
are in partnership with UT Southwestern Medical School and
SMU Graduate School of Psychology.
Our interdenominational
chapel, located next door to our emergency shelter building,
provides voluntary worship services three
times each week, as well as Baptisms, weddings and funerals.
Many of our clients seek this comfort of soul as well.
Our
ministry is unique in that we
are privately funded, accepting
no government or United Way dollars from any level. Each of
our programs and services is provided free of charge to our
clients and at no cost to Dallas County taxpayers.
