The Barriers Fund was created in 2018 in order to assist households in overcoming barriers to gaining or maintaining housing by reimbursing partner agencies for up to $1,000 per household they assist for approved items or requests.
The fund is intended as a ‘fund of last resort’, and is meant to be accessed when no other funding or resources are available in the community to ensure housing stability for people experiencing or at-risk of experiencing homelessness.
Case managers from across the housing crisis response system at over 13 different agencies have access to this fund to support their clients.
The Path Home does not process applications for residents at this time.

Join Us
The Path Home hosts the Local Homeless Coalition meeting at 9 AM on the last Wednesday of each month. The meeting is open to the public and designed to host a space to collaborate, share resources, and support one and other working towards the same goal of making homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring in Denton County. The meetings alternate between Denton and Lewisville to ensure access throughout the County.
Volunteer
Annually we host the Point in Time (PIT) Count, the official census of all people experiencing homelessness within a community on a single day of the year. The PIT Count is made possible by 100+ volunteers serving during that one day to ensure accurate insight is collected for current needs, gaps, and demographics for the future of programming and funding. The next PIT Count is tentatively scheduled for January 21, 2027.
