The Beacon (Houston)

The Beacon is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in the heart of downtown Houston. The core programs of The Beacon provide essential and next-step services to empower individuals and engage them in recovery from a life on the streets.

The Beacon has three programs:
- The Beacon Day Center
- Beacon Law
- Brigid’s Hope at The Beacon

Through these programs The Beacon addresses hunger, health, hygiene, employment, legal issues and housing instability.

In 2014, The Beacon aligned with the Coalition for the Homeless-Houston/Harris County Continuum of Care initiative known as The Way Home. The goal of the The Way Home is to change the path for Houston’s homeless by creating permanent supportive housing units and implementing a coordinated intake, assessment and triage system for those in need.
