Transitional Housing Update
We have placed 10 families into apartments as a part of the new Transitional Housing Program that supports victims of crime with up to 18 months of housing combined with our other comprehensive services, such as counseling, financial coaching, and access to our food pantry. The program was established following the best-practice “Housing First� Transitional Housing model for victims experiencing physical, emotional or sexual abuse with the goal for victims to be able to transition to safe, more self-sufficient lives. Thank you to our dedicated staff and volunteers who got these apartments ready and feeling like home in record time!
JFS Office Renovations
In Fall 2017, we painted all the walls at our main office, added new carpet and beautiful artwork, updated the reception area and Food Pantry waiting room. We also built out four new offices to maximize space for new staff. The "refresh" doesn't stop there... Thanks to the recommendation of Dallas City Council member, Lee Kleinman, the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas (AAGD) made some important upgrades at our main office. Projects included renovations to the Food Pantry, staff and volunteer break room, flooring, and adding building safety precautions. We can't wait to unveil the new and improved JFS to our supporters!
