The Dallas County Criminal Justice Department (CJD) housing team is responsible for connecting our releasing and specialty court self-reporting unsheltered/homeless neighbors to housing and reentry support services.

Our programs include the following:

The Frequent Users System Enhancement (FUSE)

The project focuses on assisting individuals who self-report being homeless or unsheltered to secure housing support and wrap-around services with a local shelter partner to work toward self-sufficiency and permanent housing placement.

It is a collaborative partnership with the Dallas County Criminal Justice Department,  Austin Street Shelter, the Bridge, the Salvation Army, the Dallas County Deflection Center, Parkland Hospital, and the North Texas Behavioral Health Authority (NTBHA).
