The Denton County Homelessness Barriers Fund is currently OPEN to City of Denton residents, City of Lewisville residents, and ATMOS customers with ATMOS bills.
The Denton County Homelessness Barriers Fund is all about opening doors and reducing barriers to stable housing. The fund is intended as a ‘fund of last resort’, and is meant to be accessed when no other funding or resources are available in the community to ensure housing stability for people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness.
The Client Assistance Barriers Fund is intended to provide supportive services to people who are experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. While the funds are intentionally flexible, eligible uses are restricted to goods and services that are directly related to housing (access and retention or critical supplies), critical documents (birth certificates, IDs, DPS surcharges, immigration documents, etc.), employment and training (GED fees, licensure fees), access to health care services (co-pays, school required immunizations) or transportation. These funds are to be accessed when no other funding is available and the resource is not available within the community.
This application is only for Client Assistance. See below for eligible expenditures and agency criteria.
PLEASE NOTE: Upload attachments are not required to submit a request. Attachments may be used to further illustrate last resort (ex: email documentation that other funds are not available).
