Elevate North Texas
North Texas Youth Shelter
North Texas Giving Day is an annual 18-hour virtual fund raising event inspiring members of our community to give back to by supporting local causes they care about. By participating in Communities Foundation of Texas’ event, donors can access hundreds of charities all in one easy-to-use platform. We are honored to be among the recipients this year and ask you to support our mission to address the immediate and ongoing needs of young adults experiencing homelessness in North Texas.
More About Us
We plan on accomplishing our mission through three core programs:
- Hotel Program: We partner with several hotels here in North Texas to provide hotel rooms for those youth in immediate need of shelter.
- Host Home Program: We work with trusted families that have a spare room to host a pre-screened youth for up to four months. During this time, youth are provided case management, counseling, and life skills training.
- Reunification & Diversion Program: We work to reunite youth with family members, when possible, to avoid them entering the homeless system. We also understand that many youth are fleeing abusive and toxic home environments, which is why we want to emphasize the "when possible."
