We’re pleased to share that Family Gateway has received a $2.5 million award from the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund! We’re one of the 40 organizations across the country selected this year by an independent advisory group of family homelessness experts for our leadership in helping families experiencing homelessness in Dallas & Collin counties find stability and achieve wellbeing. We plan to use this incredible contribution to continue supporting our robust diversion practice. With increasing numbers of families seeking services, diversion is the least expensive option to help families. Funding will also support our agency’s overflow hotel program that activates when family shelter space is full and a diversion attempt has failed. We’re thankful for the Day 1 Families Fund’s support as we work to ensure that every family in our community has a safe, stable place to call home.
