Homeless Shelters in Texas
I figure this list of Texas Homeless Shelters might be useful to someone, somewhere. I really think donating to the Red Cross is the way to go right now--this is not the time to quibble their possible bureaucracy and blood-donation policies aside, and in crunch time they are the experts--and they distribute supplies to other groups in a prearranged way. But still, this might be useful. This one in San Antonio ( SAMMinistries, 1-210-340-0302 5254 Blanco Road, San Antonio, Texas 78216-7017.) is taking in Hurricane victims.
If you're of the Christian persuasion, I remember being impressed with the attitude the Trinity Foundation takes towards charity; their Dallas Homeless Project is worth taking a look at. they were profiled in a New Yorker article.
