We bring whole-person solutions to the whole-person trauma of homelessness.

After nearly a decade on the streets, Benny is home! Battling complex physical and chronic health issues, Benny was never able to get over the hump and into housing after his early retirement. This happens to many of our older clients who daily have to choose between their health and their housing journey. For years, we tried and then tried and then tried again to get him off the streets or out of his vehicle and into a place. It didn’t work, it fell apart and then didn’t work again. We were frustrated.

Until we tried just one more time. And sometimes that’s what it takes.

Why it worked the 8th time, we can only speculate, but we are thankful for this day and thankful for our team that never gives up. Welcome home, Benny. On to the next.

Clients come to Sunrise to do something most of us never think twice about: picking out their own clothes. Our biweekly clothing closet provides autonomy and self-expression for our unhoused neighbors, something most of us take for granted.

We're in need of donations to fill our Clothing Closet and other summer items:
👕Summer clothing
🩲New men and women's underwear
🎒Backpacks and sleeping bags
🧊Ice patches or packs and cooling towels
🧴Sunscreen, aloe vera with lidocaine, and bug wipes
💦Water, reusable water bottles, and electrolyte packets
🛍️Check out these items on our summer wish list: https://ow.ly/gSKV50Z4ma8

Donations can be dropped off at our Donation Shed on Monday-Friday from 8:30 AM-1: 30 PM. Thank you for helping to keep our unhoused neighbors safe in this Texas heat!

After 12 years at the same job, John found himself without work and without a home. His story is a reminder that homelessness doesn't always look the way we image. It can happen to anyone.

Now he's an Ambassador at Sunrise helping keep the showers clean, setting up clothes twice a week so clients can pick out their items, and showing up every day for a community that once showed up for him.
