DRC Solutions Information

What is DRC Solutions? DRC Solutions, also known as the DRC, is a pioneer and provider of critical outreach, housing, case management, and safety-net services—programs essential to ending homelessness in Tarrant County. HISTORY The DRC story began on a spring day in 1997 when bestselling author and former newspaper reporter Jeff Guinn stepped from a downtown bus station to spend a week living on the streets of Fort Worth. His harrowing, first-hand account of street life was published on June 8, 1997 and revealed heartbreaking gaps in help for the homeless. Guinn’s story opened eyes to the human cost of homelessness, and civic leaders responded, opening the DRC as Day Resource Center for the Homeless in 1998. PRESENT The DRC evolved from a day shelter into an agency providing essential, evidence-based solutions that meet people experiencing homelessness wherever they are in the community. The DRC sets the stage for housing, places people out of homelessness into housing, provides ongoing follow-up case management, and satisfies unmet needs in the community. OUR MISSION The mission of the DRC is to provide respectful, responsible, effective community-based solutions to help individuals and families emerge from homelessness as productive, healthy people. OUR VISION The DRC envisions an end to homelessness achieved through investments that make permanent shelter a reality for all who need it.
