We currently have two projects that target Texans aged 18 and older in marginalized, under-served, and vulnerable groups, effectively supporting adults with low incomes and in achieving housing stability, economic empowerment, and overall well-being necessary for fostering self-sufficiency.
Our projects aim to make poverty rare, brief, and nonrecurring by addressing barriers to housing access through identifying and mitigating barriers to housing access for low-income households in Bell County, Brazoria County, Dallas County, and Ellis County. We provide the support and resources necessary for adults household members to achieve their housing, vocational/career, and financial goals.
By addressing the multifaceted needs of low-income families, our projects create a pathway to economic stability, health, and well-being, ultimately breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering empowered, thriving communities.
