Austin Street Center

Austin Street Center provides emergency shelter and basic-needs support for adults experiencing homelessness in Dallas. It describes itself as a low-barrier shelter that has served men age 45 and older and women age 18 and older since 1983.

The organization pairs shelter with individualized, housing-focused support intended to help people move toward independence and permanent housing. Its services include housing-focused case management and transportation assistance, along with community-engagement programming and spaces for medical services, classrooms, dining, and computer access.

People seeking help should review Austin Street Center’s official Get Help information for current eligibility and access details. Additional guidance is available through NHREA’s Texas homeless-assistance resources and federal assistance resources.
