In 1969, Lee Tillman founded Dallas 24 Hour Club as a place to be open 24 hours per day for individuals suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction who were seeking help. The story goes…one night about midnight in June 1969, Lee was 12-Stepping a man when the building was getting ready to close. Lee tried to explain that he couldn’t leave this man whom he was trying to help. Words were exchanged and Lee and this man were forced to leave before finishing their conversation. This incident had such an affect on Lee that he came up with the idea for The 24. A few weeks later, he opened Dallas 24 Hour Club.

Over the years, Dallas 24 Hour Club has grown to include our facility on Ross Avenue with 78 beds and our Tillman House, an 18-unit apartment complex with 41 beds. Each year, we help over 600 people get off the streets, find employment, reconnect with their families, learn to live independently, and most importantly, recover from drugs and alcohol.
