Health and Human Services

For those in need, there are a number of government and nonprofit programs to be aware of to help you get back on your feet again.  We don’t always want to reach out and ask for help, but sometimes that is what we need to do.  Please take advantage of these programs that others have worked hard to setup to help you.

There are seemingly endless health and human services agencies and that are out there to help.  I’ve only listed a few below compared to what it available.  If you can’t find out what you need, consider contacting the Community Council of Greater Dallas or calling Texas 211.  Also, you may go to the library and ask a librarian to help you, or look at Matthew Lesko’s book called Free Money.  If it is LGBT related, then call Resource Center Dallas as that is their specialty.  Also, the City of Dallas Library has a wonderful resource called the Community Information Database which lists the area nonprofits so make use of that.
