Don't ever go here the staff are complete JOKES they disrespect the people that stay here and look at you as being lesser than a human being and will laugh in your face if you need help I don't know who they worship but it is not GOD !

I stayed here a couple nights when things weren't so good. Sadly, the homeless person who does intake,(clothing, shoes) stole everyone's money from their wallets, or pockets. Surprised they let a homeless guy carry that responsibility. 60-sec shower is all that was allowed. Hope things get better. This was back about 1990. Different facility now. That's why I chip in every month!

I was volunteering at a community center on yesterday. IPS referred an outpatient to your shelter. The person was taken to the community center in error by the Uber that was ordered by IPS. The person was dressed in a hospital gown and had no shoes on a day when there was 107 temperature. The person had a referral letter in his hand . I called your shelter only to be faced with a rude staff. I wanted to know if the shelter had any transportation services for the person who was just dumped at the center. The staff person answered abruptly by saying that “we don’t go get people, they come on their own”. I felt that the staff person’s demeanor and tone was less than helpful. Thankfully, I was able to get a program that picked up this person for a shelter that was welcoming. If it’s not for God’s Grace, the person that answered the phone could be homeless and incapacitated. The fact that this staff person doesn’t know this is troubling!

Questions & Answers

How long can someone stay there, I am 58 yrs old don't have family, been on the streets for five years

Freddie Nunez | Oct 12, 2018
Wesley Price | Oct 12, 2018

It depends. If you're just trying to stay off the streets it's a night to night thing like most places. However if you're genuinely trying to recover they have a mentor program that can last a long time.

Why does Union Gospel Mission take money from the homeless who work and is only giving $50 every pay period from their check. That's my question?

Angela Reyes | Oct 12, 2018
Stan Deltenre | Oct 12, 2018

The ideal is for the homeless to save x amount of dollars during thier internment so has to have wnough to transcend back into the working class etc

so I'm just arriving in Dallas tonight and I would like to know which shelter would be best for My needs, I'm on a fixed income but I will be arriving in Dallas at 9:55 pm so is there shelters that welclme open 24 entry?

I don't speak Spanish, but if you can get an interpreter then you'll be read this. I'm currently living at the Union Gospel Mission Shelter they have bible classes all through the day weekly as some are mandatory and others aren't, you have 2 choices of sitting through the day outside under the tent and or inside as you can charge your phone, lift weights an make new friends. Upstairs is off limits until 8pm after chapel until they wake the people who choose to have jobs at 5am, those who don't work get woken at 6:30am and all need to vacate by 7:30am

I heard they good with Donating cars to people in need, do They Really help? Because I have a Job but I walk every Day I try Uber and Lyft here and there but it's too expensive. So do they help?

Deauntae Taylor | Jun 13, 2022
Lewis Brockmann Sr. | Jun 13, 2022

Let's just say, I don't have any knowledge of that. Yes I've heard of it, would like to get one too, but it's not spoken of. They do have used cars that they sell, maybe at a discount to those in need but I'm not well informed as to the stipulations. Feel free to call and ask for Mike, he's over that department. Hope this helps. God bless.

Did they ever get rid of the bed bug issue? I saw a Chaplin kick a senior out of the building in the rain because he fell asleep during one of the mandatory church services. This is fake and hypocritical Christianity at it's best.

Rick Rocio | Jun 13, 2022
Lewis Brockmann Sr. | Jun 13, 2022

Hello. I'm a Disciple of about 8 months and I will try to answer your question/issue concerning the Union Gospel Mission: Yes indeed, the bed bug problem was resolved several months ago, so there are no worries there. As far as the "Senior" that was kicked out in the rain, I'm not aware of that particular incident. Yet I can assure you that, if a Chaplain was involved, they well follow protocol after grace and mercy has been exhausted; ergo there must have been a good reason- to prevent a disruption via one or more serious infractions, or an unsafe condition, to warrant an expulsion from the facility. No staff member or chaplain is allowed to write their own rules or act in the way that they feel- just because; protocols must be followed, and the only leeway given is are grace and mercy- period. I believe that you may not be privy to the full story, or have actually witnessed the entire incident. But that's okay, that is a natural human response. I hope this helps. Blessings.

Can those who donate items investigate where the items are going to? I been asking for workboots from Chaplin Will, and always says no!!

If you have the motivation to do so, consider Advocating for the homeless. If you have the time to do so, consider volunteering at UGM (or a similar nonprofit if UGM is to far away from where you live). If you have money or goods, consider donating to UGM (or a similar nonprofit if UGM is to far away from where you live). You can also keep an eye out for people in need. Help them yourself if you can. Refer them to UGM (or a similar nonprofit if UGM is to far away from where you live) or a whatever type of agency is appropriate to help them.
