What do you need right now?

Use your own words. You do not need to know which agency to contact.

Please do not type personal details.

Purpose Link does not ask for and does not keep your name, phone number, exact address, medical information, or immigration status. What you write and choose is used only to sort the list on this screen. There is no account and no profile, and none of it is sent anywhere.

For example: I'm sleeping in my car and need somewhere safe.

Which part of your situation?

Pick as many as apply. Nothing here forces one category, and you can still describe the situation in your own words above.

Details: Health & Recovery

Optional. A five-digit ZIP code moves listings that serve that ZIP to the top. Distance is only used if you share your device location.

Your next steps.

These listings come from official, regulatory, coordinating-network, or organization-owned public sources. Each record shows its source and the date Purpose Link reviewed it. Provider confirmation is shown separately. Hours, capacity, and eligibility change often — call before you go, and ask what to bring. This is a reviewed public-alpha subset of Houston services, not complete Houston coverage.

Your pathway

  1. Start here: San Jose Clinic — Midtown Medical, Specialty, Vision and Pharmacy Services. Call 713-228-9411 and say what you need.
  2. Confirm before you go: ask about current hours, what to bring, and whether you are eligible. The source lists: Monday-Friday 8:00 AM-5:00 PM; second Saturday 8:00 AM-4:30 PM; eligibility and pharmacy closed Saturday.
  3. Related support: VA Houston Health Care — Community Resource and Referral Center / H-PACT covers the part the first door may not.
  4. Backup route: if that door is closed or full, call 2-1-1 (24/7) and ask for the next open option for the same need near your ZIP code.

If this doesn't work

Ask whether there is a waitlist and when to call back. Then call 2-1-1 (24 hours a day) and ask for the next open option for the same need near your ZIP code, rather than starting over.
