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.

Roundtable discussion series

Join us on Monday, May 6th from 7pm to 8pm as we launch our new Roundtable Discussion series! This month's speaker is our very own Beth Ryan, who serves as a House Manager at Dorothy Day House. Beth will be speaking about the topic of Faith in Action.

The Roundtable Discussion series will be held monthly at our new office space at 321 S. Bellevue Blvd and will cover a variety of topics that affect our city. We are hoping these discussions will inspire everyone to get more deeply involved with DDH and the greater Memphis community. All are welcome to join, and no RSVP is required!
