In January of 2017, Polk County opened the Veterans' Service Office in Dallas. Since then, it has become evident that there are homeless veterans in Polk County and within the city of Dallas. With no shelter options in Polk County, the idea of creating a safe place to serve veterans was developed. The main goal of this project is to provide temporary (maximum of one year) emergency housing for veterans while connecting them to as many of the social services we are able to offer. There will be an emphasis on employment related services and connection to housing.
