Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance (MDHA)
The MDHA is a 501(c)(3) member organization composed of a broad spectrum of stakeholders committed to end homelessness. Through MDHA, 86 agencies that represent shelters, hospitals, government agencies, local municipalities, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, housing and treatment providers, individuals (including homeless consumers), businesses, medical/educational leaders, and other community members meet routinely to collaborate on issues to fight homelessness. The mission is to end homelessness in Metropolitan Dallas through advocacy, planning, and education that creates and sustains needed change.
The Bridge
The Bridge is Dallas’ multi-service campus of services for homeless citizens, designed to provide, in one location, the help needed to stabilize and find employment, as well as housing placements. There are 16 co-located agencies and 24 partner organizations who collaborate to provide meals, shelter, showers, mail, storage, laundry, haircuts, primary healthcare, mental healthcare, case management, chemical dependency services, legal aid, social security, veterans services, job seeker services and housing. There is even a kennel for the homeless guest with a pet companion.
