Under 1 Roof

What Under 1 Roof does

Under 1 Roof is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2011 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, that provides permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, rental and utility assistance, eviction prevention, diversion services, legal services, life skills training, and case management to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Rockwall counties. The organization reports serving a Dallas County homeless population estimated at 5,000+ people nightly, with cumulative outcomes including 80 individuals and 5 families transitioned to permanent supportive housing, 500+ served through rapid rehousing, 1,000+ households receiving rental assistance, 1,000+ households helped to avoid eviction, and a 90% housing retention rate for permanent placements.

The operating model is built around intensive case management delivered by licensed master social workers and masters-level interns, coordinated through the regional Coordinated Access System and supplemented by a network of more than 100 landlord partnerships. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is relationship-based and administered through online intake forms, an email-based referral pipeline, and the Homeless Crisis Line. The service portfolio includes Permanent Supportive Housing, Rapid Rehousing, a newly launched Diversion Services program, Rental Assistance (capped at 30% AMI for Dallas and Collin counties), Legal Services covering landlord-tenant matters and family law, Life Skills Training, Transportation Assistance, and Basic Needs Support.

Revenue is generated entirely through grants, individual donations, event fundraising, and a recurring donor program called Friends of Under 1 Roof (FU1R). Cumulative grants exceed $10 million over the organization's history, and in December 2025 Under 1 Roof received a $1.25 million grant from the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund, the largest single gift in its history, deployable over five years. The Board of Directors includes representatives from Wells Fargo, Frost Bank, Microsoft, Kyndryl, Citigroup, State Farm, Baylor Scott & White, and Charles Schwab, providing both governance and a corporate donor pipeline.
