Welcome to Austin Street Center in Dallas. A heart for the People. A home for the Homeless.
Austin Street Shelter opened its doors on November 17, 1983, and for over two and a half decades has been an efficiently run, financially sound shelter for the homeless providing emergency care, food, showers, medicines and holistic psychosocial programs to rehabilitate.
Since November 17th, 1983, Austin Street Center has developed into a "whole person" therapeutic community, evolving from a basic overnight emergency shelter facility (without air conditioning or cots!) to a full "Care Campus," complete with a transitional living facility, substance abuse facility, free-standing chapel and an outdoor playground for our shelter kids.
