The Problem
Homelessness is an urgent and complex issue affecting the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region and its residents. Moreover, financial illiteracy and a lack of access to quality youth programs and mentorship opportunities exacerbate the challenges faced by vulnerable populations. These multifaceted issues demand our immediate attention and unwavering commitment.
