About the Program
Shelter4Hope provides trauma-informed intensive case management and wraparound supportive services to households that have secured permanent supportive housing vouchers through Fort Worth Housing Solutions or Arlington Housing Authority.
As a scattered-site housing program, participants live independently throughout the community and engage in case management services to help maintain voucher eligibility, strengthen housing stability, and prevent a return to homelessness. The program helps participants remain in permanent housing, increase skills and income, connect to community resources, and build greater self-sufficiency.
The Council participates in the TX-601 Continuum of Care serving Tarrant and Parker counties, with Partnership Home serving as the lead agency, and has worked since 2007 to address the interconnected challenges of substance use, mental health, and homelessness.

Case Management
Case managers assist clients with increasing income, accessing educational opportunities, learning life skills, accessing health care, managing budgets, and obtaining mainstream benefits. Our client-centered and client-driven case management approach empowers individuals to identify goals, address barriers, and strengthen long-term housing stability. Case managers work collaboratively with clients to set mutually agreed-upon goals and objectives each month, supporting self-sufficiency and progress toward greater independence.
