Simmons Family Gateway Resource Center is located at 1421 W. Mockingbird Lane in Dallas.
DALLAS—Family Gateway, which provides stability and support to children and families affected by homelessness, increased its capacity to serve more North Texas families through the opening of the 6,300-square-foot Simmons Family Gateway Resource Center. The center located at 1421 W. Mockingbird Lane is housed in space that Family Gateway leased from building owner Catholic Charities Dallas.
"Simply put, given the high demand in our community, we were running out of room for families at the shelter," said Ellen Magnis, president and CEO of Family Gateway. "Now, with distinct spaces for shelter and operations, we can serve more families by adding beds to what was previously office space. We appreciate the financial support of the Harold Simmons Foundation and an anonymous donor who helped make this possible, and for Catholic Charities' willingness to lease their surplus space as intended to a complementary nonprofit. It was the perfect solution, and we look forward to working together to serve more families with our respective services."
