The nonprofit behind Meals on Wheels in three North Texas counties is working to bring the region’s first hospice house for people experiencing homelessness.
The plan is part of the city of Dallas’ broader effort to explore strategies other U.S. cities are using to address homelessness.
Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined street just east of downtown Dallas sits a historic property that will soon house a new concept for North Texas — a hospice house designed to provide end-of-life care in a safe, supportive environment for those living unsheltered.
Chris Culack, CEO of the Visiting Nurse Association of Texas, said the organization’s mission has long centered on supporting vulnerable populations. The group currently provides meals for homebound neighbors in Dallas, Denton and Rockwall count
