Home Capital
Campaign
The Help Them Home Capital Campaign, supporting the development and new construction of The Austin Street Center for Community Engagement, aids in our mission to provide safe shelter and meet the basic needs of the most vulnerable homeless. The new 60,000 square-feet, 24/7, client-focused homeless shelter and day service center will expand much needed services for the men and women of Dallas in need.
We are proud to have raised $14.9 million to date, but need your help in reaching our goal.
