Serving Neighbors Who Need Our Help
Our residents have no other alternative but to live on the streets of Fort Worth

Resident Requirements
Residents must be HIV+. They must be homeless and considered "low income" by U.S. Government standards. In addition, they may have special needs for medical or psychological treatment. While at Samaritan House, residents must maintain 100% compliance with their medical treatment plans.

Multiple Conditions
90% of our residents require treatment for multiple health conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, heart conditions, or asthma. A third of our residents receive monitoring for mental health conditions and 6% have a mental retardation diagnosis.

Various Backgrounds
Many of our residents come from traditional middle-class backgrounds. However, lost time on the job due to their illness can cause them to lose their jobs and their health insurance. Then it's a short time until all their financial resources are exhausted and they find themselves unable to help themselves and in need of our assistance.

Applying for Residence
Samaritan House maintains a waiting list of interested applicants. In order to be put on the waiting list, an application must be completed and each applicant must come to the facility for an interview/intake. At the first interview, each applicant is responsible for submitting all appropriate forms. An application and list of required documents can be donwloaded here:
