Since 1969, Dallas 24 Hour Club has provided transitional living, support services, and essential life skills for homeless alcoholics and addicts, so they can embrace long-term sobriety and become contributing and self-supporting members of the community.

Each year, we help over 600 individuals get off the streets, find employment, learn life skills for independent living, and most importantly, recover from drug and alcohol addiction. In 2024, our successful completion rate was 31% from Phase 2 and 81% from Tillman House.

The program at Dallas 24 Hour Club consists of three Phases, which provide structure, support, and accountability in a step-down module. Program Managers and other staff provide daily hands-on guidance and direction 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The goal is for Residents to maintain long-term sobriety and become contributing and self-supporting members of their community.

After a Resident completes Phase 2, they can apply to Tillman House, our Phase 3 fully-furnished apartment-style living, where they can stay up to one year. During this time, Residents are encouraged to work on their savings, repay debts, reconnect with family, engage in a weekly service commitment, mentor Phase 1 Residents, maintain full-time employment, and continue their recovery. Since opening Tillman House in 2021 and expanding our wrap-around services, we have seen a 14% decline in the Recidivism Rate.

In 2024, The 24 purchased a property adjacent to Tillman House to house additional wrap-around services such as life skills training, education, financial literacy, fitness and health support, and more. By expanding our campus through “Trevor’s Place”, The 24 is expanding essential programs to support Residents and remove barriers to continuous sobriety and successful independent living. With the opening of “Trevor’s Place” in September 2025, we anticipate the Recidivism Rate to continue to decline and more alumni to succeed as they transition to full independent living. To learn more about “Trevor’s Place”, click here.

With over 80% of our staff having gone through our program, we are a like-minded, goal-oriented team dedicated to supporting newcomers and the homeless recovery community. Dr. Steven Nivin, a skilled economist, conducted an economic impact report on The 24 in 2024. His findings reveal that for every $1 spent on operating The 24, there are $64 in benefits provided to the community. Additionally, an annual savings of $1.9MM to social safety net programs by decreasing reliance on food stamps, public housing, and other government assistance. Beyond financial benefits, The 24 supports Residents in rebuilding their lives -helping them reconnect with family, find stable housing, improve their health, and maintain sobriety. As a result, there is a reduction in crime, a longer life expectancy, and an overall improvement in quality of life.

The 24 relies on private donations to continue our mission and operations. In 2024, we invested 76% of our income to fund our program, with 16% funding operating expenses, and 8% for fundraising initiatives. By donating to Dallas 24 Hour Club, you are truly helping someone recover from drug and alcohol addiction and get back on their feet. We thank you for your support!

Success Stories

My daughter developed schizophrenia in her freshman year of college, and she chose to live on the streets to which alcohol became my solution. By the time I realized I had a problem, it was too late. I lost my software company, my relationships with my family, including my healthy daughter, my home, my insurance, my 401K, and my savings. When I was willing to accept help, I had no funds for treatment and no idea where to turn. My best friend saw Tim on a news program and all but dragged me to The 24. The 24 saved my life and helped me to find a solution to not only my alcoholism but to the core issue that alcohol had been my solution to, the helplessness I felt around my inability to save my daughter. Once I understood the power of the program and this place, I fell in love with The 24 and the community it fostered. I immediately started looking for ways to give back. - Resident

After a brief stint of sobriety, I relapsed in December 2023. By February, I was evicted from my apartment, had my car repossessed, lost all contact with family and friends, and became homeless. I wore the same clothes for over two months and was in and out of the hospital due to my drinking. My days consisted of waking up and finding a place to steal alcohol and maybe some crackers to eat. My anxiety was overwhelming, and I felt trapped in this day-to-day routine. On July 7, 2024, I experienced a severe panic attack after being left alone on the train by my significant other. Today, I am grateful for that moment because I believe it was a turning point. I felt as if God wrapped a lasso around my head and said, "It's over. You will not turn 40 as an alcoholic; you have so much to live for." I have been sober for almost nine months. I have a fantastic relationship with my higher power, my family, and my kids, who are truly the greatest joys of my life. I am thankful for the job opportunities I have and the amazing people I get to work with, and my wonderful sponsor who has been by my side at every step of this journey. - Tillman House Resident

I was adopted at 7 years old to a Mennonite Protestant family, which was very religious. At 21 years old, I married a man that was extremely violent. I learned that when a man tells me he loves me that it’s followed by a fist. Because of my Mennonite Protestant background, my family didn’t believe in divorce, so I used drugs to hide rather than deal with the pain of the violent relationship. When I came to The 24 I was lost, desperate and seeking some kind of knowledge that there was a reason for my existence. Coming to The 24 was the first time I felt God's presence in my life. I felt that there was help, and I wanted that help. Today, I have a new outlook on life, and I want to grow closer spiritually. I want to be of maximum service to others because I was given a second chance at life, and I want to be able to pass it on. - Tillman House Resident
