Willis Dady Homeless Services
Willis Dady Homeless Services was founded in 1987 as a senior project by college student Jim Welborn. At the time, Jim, an Army Veteran, had experienced over 25 years of homelessness before becoming self-sufficient and enrolling at Mt. Mercy College.
Since the Emergency Shelter was founded, the mission and vision of Willis Dady has expanded to support all experiencing homelessness in the community. Willis Dady provides one-on-one, individualized case management through Emergency Shelter, Homeless Prevention, Street Outreach, Employment, Housing Programs, and Veteran Services. Every year this organization empowers more than 1,500 individuals by connecting them to services that will help overcome barriers to reach their housing goals.
