Presbyterian Night Shelter
We believe everyone needs – and deserves – a home.
Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant county strives to break chronic cycles of homelessness through shelter, affordable housing, and sustainable employment. Since 1984, they have served as a safe place for guests to access critical resources and services that will ignite their journey from homeless to home, as well as meet basic needs for food, shelter, and a community that cares. Each program and initiative of the Shelter works together to empower our guests to exit homelessness, equipped with new skills and confidence to maintain their housing stability.
Our Missions Team supports Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant County by collecting toiletries and Valentine’s Day care packages.
- Originally conceived as a solution-based program aimed at limiting and/or eliminating periods of instability experienced by single mothers with children who are experiencing homelessness in Fort Worth and Tarrant County.
- This program has been expanded to also serve single fathers with children and two-parent families experiencing homelessness with the immediate goal of stabilizing each family coming into the program by providing safe, secure shelter.
- Once a guest family enters the program, they have access to services and resources that emphasize crisis alleviation, self-empowerment, nutritional and behavioral health, parenting skills, early childhood intervention, domestic violence and trauma awareness, goal planning and vocational training.
- The children in a family struggling with homelessness are not immune to the stress and uncertainty that accompany their situation. Recognizing the importance of meeting the needs of the children, Family Services hired two Child Advocates to work with and for the children in the program.
