Overview

Mission

The family place empowers victims of family violence by providing safe housing, counseling and skills that create independence while building social change to stop the violence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Collaboration: Since 1978, The Family Place has engaged the community through education, outreach and collaborative projects. In 2024, we tracked 58 community engagements, 4,200 participants in community engagements and 82 hours of resource tables, panel discussions or presentations. As lead agency for Faith and Liberty's Place, we provided 179 adults and 150 children with 1,239 visits/3,350 visit hours and 425 exchanges/214 exchange hours. Clients are referred by Dallas County Family Courts, ensuring child safety in high-risk custody cases. Since 1984 we have provided a Battering Intervention & Prevention Program (BIPP) for abusers working to change their violent behavior. This court-ordered program educates, challenges pro-abuse beliefs and provides useful information to clients with the goal of keeping future intimate partner relationships free of violence. In 2024, the program served 226 men/26 women with 6,601 hours of group sessions and 395 hours of jail group sessions. We collaborate with the criminal justice system on the Dallas Domestic Violence High Risk Team to increase victim safety and offender accountability. In 2024, 7 cases successfully closed, 11 new cases were accepted, 8 high-risk clients accessed our emergency shelter, and 100% of 359 survivors contacted from Dallas Police Department referrals were provided information about services and resources. Launched in 1999, the Be Project delivers school-based programs that teach healthy relationship skills and prevent violence among middle and high school youth. Using an evidence-based curriculum, the program engages students, parents and educators through classroom instruction, small groups and community engagement. In 2024, Be Project served 9,448 participants across 29 schools. Since 1999, The Family Place has provided in-house legal services in partnership with Legal Services of NorthWest Texas. Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking receive advice, representation and assistance with family law matters. In 2024, 158 clients accessed free legal support. The agency also operates a Resale Shop that raises funds and provides free clothing, furniture and household goods to clients rebuilding their lives. Volunteers are central to our mission. In 2024, 967 program volunteers provided 2,317.5 volunteer hours. Additionally, 55 board and foundation board members provided 2,619 hours of volunteer service. A board member serving as medical director of our clinics provided 400 hours of volunteer service.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
