Notes
Mission:
Austin Street Centre exists to provide emergency shelter and
related services to the homeless person in a compassionate
community, and to provide “whole person” therapeutic programs
so that the person in need might be better able to make
responsible choices, positive changes and have economic self
sufficiency.
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.
FROM THE HOMEPAGE OF THE WEBSITE:
Consider that more than 300 children received shelter at \
Austin Street Centre just this year.
Also consider that we provide shelter, free substance abuse
counseling, group therapy, one-on-one therapy with licensed
chemical dependency counselors, job training and ministry to
those in need.
