20 Years of Keeping Families Together

Providing transitional housing and support for families since 2006

Since 2006, Dorothy Day House has provided transitional housing and wraparound support for families facing homelessness in Memphis — keeping parents and children together when it matters most.


Our Mission

Rooted in the tradition of the Gospels and inspired by the vision and passion of Dorothy Day, the Dorothy Day House provides temporary housing and support services for families experiencing houselessness in Memphis, TN. Working with other local agencies, staff members, and volunteers, we provide families in need with a safe environment and the means to re-establish their independence. All guests are welcomed as Christ with no discrimination.
