About The Samaritan Inn

We provide a transitional home for our residents where all of their basic needs are met so that they can focus on obtaining gainful employment and rebuilding their stability. During their stay, we provide food, shelter, counseling, casework, financial literacy, and job readiness services to help our residents achieve their personal goals and ultimately attain long-term independence.

The Samaritan Inn is the only shelter in Collin County that accepts pets, ensuring that families don’t have to choose between safety and staying together. We also offer a grocery-store-style Food Pantry that provides food access to individuals and families across Collin County. As part of The Samaritan Inn’s comprehensive continuum of care, the pantry helps stabilize households facing food insecurity and financial hardship — strengthening families before, during, and after crisis. 

We welcome single men, single women, and families. Unlike many emergency shelters, families at The Samaritan Inn are never separated.

Upon graduation from our program, our most successful residents have the opportunity to apply for a unit in our independent living community, Gateway Apartments. The Gateway Apartments come fully furnished and provide residents with the perfect stepping stone into a new level of responsibility, while still having the ongoing support of many of our services.

Mission

We are a comprehensive housing stability program that supports individuals in realizing dignity and gaining independence.

Needs

Your generous contributions provide essential services to North Texans experiencing housing insecurity. There are many ways you can support The Samaritan Inn, each making a significant impact on our mission to empower North Texans. Your financial support allows us to offer comprehensive housing stability services to North Texans. Every dollar helps us move closer to our vision of a community where everyone is empowered to contribute to our shared society.

Equity Statement

At The Samaritan Inn, equity begins with dignity. We honor the inherent worth and value of every human being, and we promise dignity in every relationship — with every resident, employee, volunteer, donor, and partner.

We live that promise by meeting each person where they are on their housing journey, honoring their needs for inclusion, acknowledgment, recognition, fairness, independence, and accountability. As a comprehensive housing stability program, we offer a diverse set of services to ensure equitable access to the resources that restore stability and choice — food, housing, transportation, employment, and care — because we believe every person should feel empowered to contribute to our shared society.

The Samaritan Inn provides services and employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Our doors are open to every North Texan in need.

We envision a North Texas in which all people are housed, nourished, employed, and able to access health care. Dignity, reciprocity, and a pathway to self-actualization are how we get there — together.
