Detailed Information

Identification Assistance:
Identification Documentation assistance is provided by Stewpot caseworkers who can order school records, marriage licenses, birth certificates, and other vital records to help you obtain legal state IDs and qualify for housing programs.
New Clients (non-referral) are screened for eligibility on a first-come-first serve basis for same-day appointments. These appointments begin at 1 PM and slots fill up quickly. Typically, 10-15 clients are seen each afternoon, depending on staff availability. Bring as much identifying information with you as possible.
Returning Clients (who have already been assigned a case manager) can return Monday to Thursday, 8 AM to 11 AM for follow-up appointments.
Referral Clients can be seen Thursday afternoon and all day Friday.
Thursday afternoon is reserved for Coordinated Access System Enrollments (CAS) enrollments. If you are a case manager with a client on the CAS list, please reach out to Housing Forward to learn how to sign them up.
Fridays are reserved for our partner agencies. If you are with an agency interested in becoming a partner agency, please reach out to the Director of Housing and Homeless Services.
Mail Service:
Mail Services are available if you are experiencing homelessness and unsheltered, and need an address where you can receive your mail.
If interested in receiving mail at The Stewpot, please come to the intake desk Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 3:30 PM and ask to speak with a case manager. Mail can be retrieved Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 11:30 AM at the mail desk, which is located to the right of the intake desk.
Please note: Stewpot services listed as benefiting people experiencing homelessness are for individuals or families who have been sleeping in a place not meant for human habitation (e.g., living on the streets, in a car, in an abandoned building, etc.) and/or in an emergency shelter/Safe Haven. If you have been staying at a shelter, please bring a letter from the shelter with you to The Stewpot.
Meals at the Bridge:
If you are experiencing homelessness and are in need of a meal, visit the Second Chance Café at The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, located just an 8-minute walk from The Stewpot at 1818 Corsicana Street.

Health Care Support for Housed Families:
The Stewpot also partners with a variety of area service providers to assist low-income families participating in our Family Stabilization Program with medical needs
Rapid Re-housing + Permanent Supportive Housing Programs:
The Stewpot's Housing Programs follow the Housing First approach and pair subsidized housing assistance with ongoing case management with access to supportive services. Our programs use a housing choice model which means each resident is actively involved in identifying the apartment and community in which they live.
Enrollment in Stewpot Housing Programs is by referral only. All participants for housing are referred through the Coordinated Access System (CAS). CAS is a community-wide process developed to ensure all people experiencing a housing crisis have fair and equal access to housing resources in the community. No direct referrals can be accepted into Stewpot Housing Programs.
Representative Payee Assistance:
The Representative Payee Program provides financial management for beneficiaries of Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits whom the Social Security Administration has determined require a payee. Applicants must have a letter from Social Security stating the requirement of a payee.
Children and Youth Program:
The Stewpot’s Children and Youth Program offers year-round weekly activities that encourage students from low- and extremely low-income households to stay in school, improve academic performance, and make positive choices for their future.
During the school year, Saturday Kids’ Club (grades 1-5) meets on Saturdays, and Junior Crew (grades 6-8) and Venturing Crew (grades 9-12) meet Wednesday evenings. Tutoring is available for students 6th-12th grade during the Wednesday programming. The Summer Day Camp (grades 1-12) offers programming weekdays over seven weeks during the summer. If you're interested in volunteering for any of these programs, you can fill out an application.
In the 2021-2022 school year, 100% of our high school seniors graduated, and 100% of our students advanced to the next grade level.
College and Career Readiness - Mentoring Program: High school students have the opportunity to be paired with a mentor of interested academic/career background. This experience allows students to get unique insight into their career aspirations through their mentor's personal and professional experiences. If you're interested in becoming a mentor, sign-up here.
