Frequently Asked Questions

We believe in transparency and providing the support you need to make informed decisions. Here you'll find answers to some of the most common questions we receive at Promise Care Shifts regarding our services and support for homeless individuals in Dallas, Texas.

What are the most common concerns or questions people have before seeking help from Promise Care Shifts?

Many people come to us feeling uncertain and nervous. They often wonder if they’ll truly belong, if the environment will be safe, and if they’ll be treated with kindness. At Promise Care Shifts, we make the answer clear—yes. From the very beginning, we welcome every resident with compassion, explain our rules in simple and supportive ways, and create a community where they can feel valued, respected, and at peace.

Can you describe the typical steps someone takes when they start receiving support from Promise Care Shifts?

The process of joining Promise Care Shifts is simple, supportive, and designed to make every person feel welcome. It begins with an initial contact or referral, followed by a respectful intake where we confirm eligibility and review proof of benefits such as disability, Social Security, SSI, SSDI, VA, or other support. Next, we walk the individual through our resident handbook and house rules, provide a tour of the home, and complete a move-in checklist to ensure comfort and clarity. From day one, each resident is welcomed into a safe, structured, and caring community where they can settle in with dignity and begin building a fresh start.

What kind of questions do you get asked most often - questions about eligibility, the services you offer, or how you support people in the long term?

Most of the questions we receive focus on three areas: eligibility, services, and long-term support. People often ask who qualifies to live in our homes and what kind of proof of income is needed. They also want to know what daily life looks like—what rules, support systems, and community aspects are in place. Finally, many ask how we help residents in the long run, such as maintaining stability, reconnecting with family, or preparing for more permanent housing. At Promise Care Shifts, we answer each of these with honesty and care, reassuring people that our program is designed to provide not just housing, but hope and lasting stability.

What are the key differences between Promise Care Shifts and other organizations that help homeless individuals, especially in terms of the support and community you provide?

What makes Promise Care Shifts different is that we don’t just provide housing—we create a true home and community. Many programs focus only on temporary shelter, but we focus on long-term stability through structure, respect, and compassion. Our homes are fully furnished, our rules are clear and fair, and our residents are treated with dignity every step of the way. We welcome people as individuals, not cases, and we foster a sense of belonging that helps them rebuild their confidence and their lives. This balance of structure and love is what sets us apart.
