About FAMILY GATEWAY INC

Family Gateway is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1986 (by Annette G. Strauss) that serves as the primary entry point for families with children experiencing or near homelessness in Dallas and Collin counties. The organization operates emergency shelter, supportive housing, assessment & diversion programming, case management, and education supports designed to keep families together and move them into stable housing and employment. Family Gateway also operates a 50-room emergency shelter (a renovated former motel site referred to as Family Gateway North), partners with apartment providers for additional placements, and provides on-site child care and learning supports to help parents pursue work and housing stability.
