skills. These Apartments are intended for homeless young
people.
Gaston Commons Independent Living Apartments (HUD
Transitional Living Program):
These six apartments are
intended for homeless young people who will need
long-term housing assistance. The apartments at Gaston
Commons have site-based Dallas Housing Authority (DHA)
Section 8 vouchers. This program offers housing
assistance for one year, after which the young person
can apply for a portable voucher for use at other
Section 8 locations.
Dallas County Transitional Housing Assistance:

need housing assistance while improving their financial
situation through the pursuit of job skills and/or
education. This program offers rental assistance at
scattered site apartments for one year.

young people who need permanent supportive housing
assistance.
Buckner Children and Family Services, Inc. Family
Pathways Program:
TRAC contracts with Buckner Children and Family
Services for four beds in the Family Pathways Program
located on the Buckner campus. The Family Pathways
program is intended for parenting women who need housing
assistance while they complete their post- secondary
education.
Emergency Apartment:
This Apartment provides short-term emergency housing
for young people who are homeless and have no other
resources for housing assistance. This housing option is
intended to assist young people while they work with
their Service Manager to secure stable, safe housing.
Young people may stay in the emergency apartment for a
maximum of three working days, with extensions
considered on a case-by-case basis.
Eligibility: Serves young adults 18-24 years old who are
leaving or being discharged from substitute care and lack the resources and
support networks needed to obtain housing.
Other important information:
Residents in each program level will enter into a
contractual agreement with TRAC staff establishing rules
and expectations of the program participant. A primary
expectation of OnTRAC program transitional housing
residents is that they will utilize the full range of
services available to them at the Transition Resource
Action Center (TRAC).
The shared apartment housing option allows the young
adults to have a peer support network in their apartment
and/or apartment complex and will allow them to
experience a community living situation, in their
apartment and in the apartment complex.
The TRAC transitional housing is combined with
supportive services that will help promote residential
stability, increase independent living skills, and
support advancement to livable wage jobs.
