The Holy Trinity Conference consistently visits and works with homeless women and men in the area, sometimes with young children. Many suffer from various forms of mental illness, serious trauma, or addiction. They partner with Dallas area organizations that provide emergency shelter, supportive services etc, and increasingly they are applying our own resources to temporarily house people in motels. They have also joined Housing Forward as a community partner. They would appreciate any advice other conferences can offer about how best to help a specific woman who has been living on the street, panhandling summer and winter, for about 25 years. She is a regular at our HT Pantry. She considers HT her “home,” and resists the usual temporary shelter/assistance solutions. They need ideas and expertise to help her from where she is to a better, safer solution.
