The mission of Family Gateway is to provide stability and life-changing supportive services to children and families affected by homelessness. We were founded more than 30 years ago by Mayor Annette Strauss.  We are the only emergency shelter in Dallas that will accept a family of any kind (multi-generational families, etc.). Programs and services provided include comprehensive assessments to match the family with the needed intervention, diversion for those who have resources to help them avoid a shelter experience, emergency shelter and supportive housing, case management, adult and children’s services, and an education program.
