The Dallas Hope Center provides a safe, affirming housing environment and support services for young adults. To be eligible for our housing program, you must:
Be between the ages of 18 and 24.
Identify as LGBTQIA+.
Be currently experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the Dallas area.
What we provide: While at the Hope Center, residents receive more than just a safe place to sleep. We offer inclusive case management, life skills training, and connection to affirming healthcare and employment resources to help you achieve long-term stability.
Dallas Hope Center provides LGBT youth 18-24 a safe and welcoming space where you have the freedom to be authentic in an environment that encourages growth.
Because demand for affirming housing is high, applying adds you to our general intake waitlist. Here is how the process works:
Submit Your Application (~5 minutes): Click the button below to go to our secure intake form. You’ll be asked about your identity, current living situation, and immediate safety needs.
Waitlist Confirmation (Immediate): Once submitted, you are securely added to our waitlist. Because our timeline depends on when current residents transition out of the center, we cannot guarantee an exact wait time.
Use Interim Resources (While you wait): The form confirmation page provides a list of immediate local partners (like City House and the Resource Center) who may have emergency beds. We highly encourage you to contact them.
We Contact You (When a spot opens): As soon as a bed becomes available, our intake team will reach out to the phone number or email you provided to begin your placement process.
