Dallas Hope Charities

Dallas Hope Charities is an independent 501(c)(3) public charity organization that unites to care for those in need throughout our social community, geographical community, and beyond.

Dallas Hope Charities operates Hope Center, Dallas’s LGBTQIA-focused homeless youth transitional living center and extension program. Through our center, we offer a welcoming, safe environment for youth 18-24 years of age where they learn important life skills necessary to successfully live independent lives.

What originally focused on addressing the risk factors associated with hopelessness that lead to suicide, our Collective Hope Coalition is now our resource hub for LGBTQIA+ basic needs services. We work with over 50 community organizations and individuals to address gaps in food, housing, medical care, mental health, support for youth, and more in hopes of creating change that improves the lives of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Dallas Hope Charities is working with the Dallas Police Department through the Safe Place program to spread awareness and education in the community by encouraging victims to report ALL crimes, especially hate crimes, in hopes of reducing the risk of suicide within our LGBTQIA+ community. The Safe Place program will help bring the LGBTQIA+ community, the Dallas Police Department, local businesses, social organizations, and education centers together to create a safe place and city for all. 

We offer Hopeful Discussions, a series that is geared toward reducing homophobia by increasing understanding of LGBTQIA+ identities and issues to educate and build a more inclusive community. 

Through our Hope Center, Collective Hope Coalition, Safe Place, and Hopeful Discussions we are fulfilling our mission to provide food, shelter, and services that instill dignity, stability & Hope for All. Find out more at www.dallashopecharities.org
