- $7.4 million spent. Residential Programs: Since 1978, The Family Place has provided emergency shelter services to survivors of family violence, offering food, clothing, counseling, case management and education in safe, confidential locations. With three facilities-Sally's House, Ann Moody Place and our Men's Shelter-we provide 168 beds (plus cribs) and are staffed 24/7/365. In 2024, we served 700 children, 616 women, 35 men and 47 pets for a total of 42,140 shelter nights, with an average stay of 31 days. Clients enter our emergency shelters by calling our 24-hour hotline, 214-941-1991, which answered 9,362 crisis calls and 14,142 information and referral calls in 2024. 100% of crisis callers made a safety plan. We are the only Dallas-area provider with onsite medical and dental clinics at two shelters, ensuring safe access to care for survivors who often lack medical resources. In 2024, we provided 1,843 medical visits and nearly 6,800 hours of clinic care. Our Children's Education Services delivered 13,852 hours of trauma-informed childcare and after-school support, serving over 220 children. Additionally, our kennel program allowed families to remain united with 47 pets during shelter stays. Clients in our emergency shelters may apply for our Transitional Housing Program, established in 1993, which provides a continuation of our supportive programs in 26 extended-stay apartments on our Safe Campus and 6 apartments at our Bluebird facility in Irving. Transitional Housing supported 42 women and 77 children with 12,772 nights of housing, averaging 203 days per family.

Clients are referred by Dallas County Family Courts, ensuring child safety in high-risk custody cases. Since 1984 we have provided a Battering Intervention & Prevention Program (BIPP) for abusers working to change their violent behavior.
