Rapid Reshousing
Jalisa Miles and Mackenzie Harrington-Bain are our Rapid Rehousing Case Managers and they are so excited to invite you #FromOurHouseToYourHome to make a gift today for #NTxGivingDay!
Our Rapid Rehousing progam provides young adults up to 24 year’s old who qualify for independent living with financial assistance and services. To prevent further homelessness, young adults are connected with local apartment managers who work with their limited credit and financial history. Services provided include financial training and case management.
Help us continue to provide this awesome service to our clients by making a donation today! https://www.NorthTexasGivingDay.org/CityHouse And don't forget to like, share and tell your family and friends!

Thankful Thursday
"Children are our greatest treasure. They are our future." -Nelson Mandela
Today is #ThankfulThursday, and we wanted to send a special thank you to 12-year-old Jahkil Jackson, creator of Project I Am. He sends supplies to children all over the country from Chicago to create blessing bags to give out to their community! We received over 75 blessing bags from 2 brothers in Lewisville.
Thanks to this donation, our street outreach team was able to pass out 50 of these bags today as they provided much-needed services to our community!
Thank you to all of our donors, volunteers, and supporters!

As many as 1 in 20 youth run away from home each year. The American Academy of Pediatrics report "Runaway Youth: Caring for the Nations Largest Segment of Missing Children," details how unaccompanied youth who run away - either on their own or who are asked to leave home - have high rates of trauma and neglect, mental illness, and substance abuse, family dysfunction, and disengagement from school.
We encourage any youth or family that is concerned about their situation at home to contact us for free counseling towards easing family conflict and issues.
My Friends House (emergency crisis shelter for newborns - 17 years) and Transitional Living Program homes are in need of disinfectant wipes. Please donate and help keep your kids healthy! #Clorox Amazon Wish List: https://a.co/ghDpk1N
Happy 18th Birthday “Mike”!
How do you remember celebrating your 18th birthday? Did you have a party with friends to celebrate? Did your mom make your favorite cake?
Imagine turning 18 and being told, “You’re an adult, you’re on your own now, and it’s time to leave... my job as a parent is done.”
You just finished high school during this pandemic, hadn’t applied to college, jobs are hard to find, and you don’t have professional skills or necessary life skills yet either.
Usually, turning 18 is just the beginning of promising life opportunities for most teens in North Texas. Not for “Mike”. He’s been living in his car for a few days.
Today, “Mike” came to City House for help and completed an application for the Transitional Living Program. He’s on the waitlist. He got a hot meal, took a shower and received some new clothes in our Youth Resource Center.
Today, July 30 is "World Day Against Trafficking in Persons". City House joins the United Nations in honoring front line workers to end human trafficking. These are the people who work in different sectors - identifying, supporting, counseling, and seeking justice for victims, and challenging the impunity of the traffickers.
During the COVID-19 crisis, the essential role of first responders has become even more important, particularly as the restrictions imposed by the pandemic have made their work harder. Social workers, healthcare professionals, teachers, and nonprofits like City House work to protect the vulnerable in the fight against trafficking. #EndHumanTrafficking #BlueHeartCampaign
Homeless Youth are Vulnerable to Trafficking
We're so proud of Jacob as he moves on to Arizona to a new beginning! Previously, Jacob was a client in our Transitional Living Program and most recently he received services in our Youth Resource Center. Our City House Family wishes him well.
