Residential and Outpatient Services
Our New Name
Holmes Street Foundation has recently undergone a name change. Our new name is Sinai House. This new name better reflects the sacred nature of the mission we perform and the full-scope of services we provide to youth we serve. Watch for the upcoming changes to our website.
Adolescent substance abuse is a critical physical and behavioral health issue that affects many families in Texas as well as across the nation. We at the Sinai House desire to become a resource for you and your families.
Sinai House, (formally Holmes Street Foundation), has provided treatment services for over 1,000 residential clients and their families. In addition, we have met the needs of our community by servicing over 7,000 clients in our outpatient drug treatment program over the years. Our Holmes Street Academy is an educational program in conjunction with Dallas Independent School District "DISD" in which our youth continue their education while in our residential program. This value added service allows adolescents to continue their education and potential graduation date.
Below are some key points which distinguish Holmes Street Foundation from other adolescent substance abuse treatment programs. |
How to Support this Program
Holmes Street Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. This means that all donations given to us are tax deductible. At Holmes Street Foundation, we believe that we can help youth stop short of crime, but we need your support. Changes in law enforcement policy, school policy and community climate have created the "zero tolerance" philosophy towards juvenile crime and delinquency in many communities.
Young people who make a poor decision and break the law are no longer given a warning and sent home, juvenile prosecution for minor offenses is on the rise, and more and more youth are being tried as adults and sent to adult prison. According to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Prevention, minority youth ages 10-17 are at greater risk of involvement in harmful risk behavior due to cultural, language, inter generational barriers, zero tolerance policies at schools, and other triggers which eventually lead to involvement in the juvenile justice system and ultimately imprisonment.
