Family Gateway

Since 1986, Family Gateway has helped thousands of families with children experiencing homelessness on their journeys to stability and positive housing. We are the leading agency in addressing family homelessness in our community and serve as the entry point for families seeking assistance. Services we provide include assessments to determine what interventions a family needs, creative solutions to avoid a shelter experience (e.g., eviction prevention), emergency shelter, supportive housing, general and vocational case management, and education programming. 

The need in our community is now greater than ever before. Pre-pandemic, approximately 30 new families per month required shelter in our community. This number has risen to an average of 50 new families per month over the last year, with many months including spikes of 60+ new families requiring shelter. In addition to our emergency shelter space, we are supporting 40+ families in overflow care who would otherwise be sleeping in their vehicles or on the streets.

This North Texas Giving Day, we need your help to:

1. Keep children and families from sleeping in their cars or on the streets.
2. Support children as they recover from the trauma of homelessness.
3. Continue housing families with children.

With your support, we will continue doing everything possible to make sure that no child sleeps outside.
