20 Years of Keeping Families Together
Providing housing and support for families experiencing homelessness since 2006
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.
Celebrating 20 Years

Dinner with Dorothy 2026
Dinner with Dorothy was a powerful kickoff to our 20th Anniversary celebration, bringing our community together to reflect on the past and invest in what’s ahead. Because of your generosity, we reached our $80,000 goal to support families with safe housing, stability, and hope!

“Because of Dorothy Day House, I received professional care, discovered a new career path, built savings, and found the confidence to pursue stable housing. I found a community of parents whose support changed my life.”
