If you are a placement agency
Placements that come through an agency carry a minimum five month agreement for the resident. That gives the person time to settle in properly, and it gives the house the stability it needs to keep the rate where it is.
If your agency charges a placement fee of one month's rent, we pay that fee in two installments rather than in a single payment.
The referral process
Every step, and how long it takes.
What a referral partner needs first
If you place people for a living, you need four facts before anything else: the rate, what it covers, whether a bed is open, and how fast someone can move. The rate is $750 a month for a shared room, all in. There is a one-time $250 community fee at move-in. There are 4 rooms, 3 beds are open now, and more beds can be added.
Everything is included in the $750: all utilities, a furnished room, WiFi, washer and dryer, kitchen access, cable and streaming, and house supplies. There is no separate utility account, no furniture to source, and no deposit stack to assemble before someone has a place to sleep.
Step one, call or email with the basics
Call (469) 503-6007 or email property.care.solutions.tx@gmail.com. Tell us the timeline, the general situation, and any support already in place. You will speak with Joyce or Zandria directly rather than working through an intake queue.
If a discharge date or a program end date is driving the clock, say so at the start. It changes how the rest of the steps are sequenced.
Step two, screening and background check
Every prospective resident has a short intake call and a background check. Eligibility is confirmed during the intake call rather than published as a checklist, and screening is conduct-based. Veterans, adults on SSI or a fixed income, adults in transition, seniors, and working adults are all welcome here.
This step usually takes a day or two. You can help it move faster by making sure your client is reachable by phone during that window.
Step three, the walkthrough
Your client sees the house before committing. There is a video tour and photos, which can be reviewed from a hospital room, a shelter, or another city, and an in-person tour is available on request.
For discharge planning, the video walkthrough is often the practical option, and it still gives your client a real sense of the kitchen, the living room, and the room they would be moving into.
Step four, a reference call
One reference is called. If you are the case manager, social worker, or discharge planner, that reference is usually you, and the call takes a few minutes. It confirms the picture from the intake conversation.
Referrals from VA staff, hospital discharge planners, community organizations, and agency case managers are welcome, and the process is the same for all of them.
Step five, fee, payment setup, and paperwork
On approval, the $250 community fee is paid at move-in and the resident is set up in the payment system for the monthly $750. Then the agreement is signed. If a benefit payment schedule or a program voucher affects timing, raise it here so the setup matches reality.
Step six, move-in
The room is furnished, so move-in is genuinely simple: clothes, documents, medication, and personal belongings. Most placements complete in under a week from the first call.
The house is permitted through the Dallas Boarding House Department, is veteran-owned and operated, and sits in Northeast Dallas near Lakewood and White Rock Lake with public transportation nearby. Call (469) 503-6007 to check current availability before you build it into a plan.
