Twenty five years later, The Samaritan Inn is still the largest homeless program in a county of over 762,000 residents. All services and support are provided free of charge through funding made from donations by churches, service groups and  organizations, corporations and individuals. The Samaritan Inn is also a member of the United Way of Collin County.

Homeless families and individuals are the focus at The Samaritan Inn. In 2010, the Inn served 789 residents; 187 of them were children.
