Dallas Hope Charities operates the Dallas Hope Center, the city’s LGBTQ-focused homeless youth transitional living center and extension program. By helping provide inclusive spaces for at-risk, homeless LGBTQ youth (18 to 24), they hope to change the lives of those who experience high rates of conduct disorder, post-traumatic stress, and suicidal behavior.
Dallas Hope Charities is working with the Dallas Police Department through the Safe Place program to spread awareness and education in the community by encouraging victims to report all crimes, especially hate crimes, in hopes of reducing the risk of suicide within the LGBTQ+ community. The Safe Place program will help bring the LGBTQ+ community, the Dallas Police Department, local businesses, social organizations, and education centers together to create a safe place and city for all.
