Recommended next steps

  • Clarify what “oocbgh” means before applying so intake staff can route you to the right service.
  • If the need is rent or utilities, call the City of Dallas Social Services intake line during posted intake hours.
  • Confirm the address is inside Dallas city limits before requesting City rental or utility assistance.
  • Gather ID, Social Security cards, lease or ownership proof, income proof, utility bills, and any eviction notice.
  • Use the Community Resources Welcoming Hub with ZIP code 75201 and plain-language keywords for the need.
  • Call 3-1-1 for non-emergency City service questions or 214-670-3111 if calling from outside city limits.
  • Call 2-1-1 for broader community-service referrals if the City program does not match the need.
  • For home repair needs, review the HIPP page and follow its referral to Volunteers of America Texas.
  • If homelessness or shelter support is involved, contact The Bridge or ask City intake about emergency shelter resources.
  • Write down dates, names, and requested documents after each call so follow-up is easier.
