Overview

Mission

The organization is dedicated to stabilizing unhoused single-parent families who have survived domestic violence by removing crisis-driven barriers, securing safe and stable housing, ensuring access to food and essential resources, and providing trauma-informed support services that foster long-term independence, family stability, and the well-being of children.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization has provided food assistance, housing support, mentorship, coordinated access to essential resources, transitional services, and community-based programs that promote self-sufficiency and long-term stability for the families it serves. In addition, the organization has recently established itself as a Texas nonprofit corporation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
