Outreach Center
We operate a zero-barrier outreach center near downtown Dallas that provides laundry, showers, clothing resources, food, phone charging stations, free WiFi, and more. Our outreach center also serves as a hub for more than a dozen partner organizations offering specialized services, including medical, mental health, VA, SNAP, ID, intake for rehabs, and housing assistance.
Women’s Center
Our Women’s Center provides a quiet, safe place to serve the unique needs of women experiencing homelessness in a trauma-informed way. The area is equipped with extra safety features, operated by female staff, and is equipped to provide all the same services as the rest of our Outreach Center. Currently, we are the only drop-in facility available to abused women in Dallas, operating five days a week.
OurChurch
It’s our faith that inspires us to love our most vulnerable neighbors as if they were Jesus. We see the traditional Church model as integral to the solution, so we created OurChurch. We offer a weekly church service, small group Bible studies, recovery, and life skill classes with a team of staff pastors.
Placement Solutions
Our Placement Solutions team creates personalized plans to help people exit homelessness by identifying solutions that are the best match for each individual’s needs. These include but are not limited to:
- Detox
- Substance abuse recovery programs
- Dual diagnosis programs
- Domestic violence shelters
- Family reunification
- Trafficking and exploitation recovery programs
- Senior living
- Housing
- Regeneration programs
Search & Rescue
Led by staff and supplemented by volunteers, our Search & Rescue teams engage our unsheltered homeless neighbors where they are – under bridges, in the woods, behind liquor stores, and within abandoned buildings. Search & Rescue is empowered by public reports of homeless individuals and encampments from our mobile app. On average, they visit more than 3,000 encampments each year. Our teams connect people directly to services and help them get off the streets.
OurDirectory
OurDirectory is a printed guide to the most accessible resources for the unsheltered homeless in Dallas County. The directory contains hotline numbers, resources, rehabs, shelters, and a map of downtown Dallas agencies.
OurSoftware
We have created five unique platforms and apps used to enable our daily operations and programs at OurCalling. Most notable is the OurCalling app – a public app used nationwide that delivers more than 100,000 referrals to services every day.
Inclement Weather
When extreme weather (both hot and cold) hits Dallas, OurCalling increases its efforts to ensure our homeless neighbors stay out of the dangerous weather by: becoming a cooling station in the summer, and by spearheading an inclement weather shelter in the winter.
OurCommunity
We are raising funds to build an extraordinary tiny home community designed to provide long-term, comprehensive, and relational care to our homeless neighbors that need permanent support and are at risk of dying on the streets. Residents will have access to on-site wrap-around support services.
