Today, our CEO, Kimberly Williams, visited the Episcopal School of Dallas to speak with the senior class about Interfaith Family Services! We’re thrilled that ESD’s seniors selected Interfaith for their capstone project and we had the opportunity to discuss how they can make a meaningful impact. We’re excited for this partnership with ESD throughout the school year!💚 #dallasnonprofits #dfwnonprofit #dallasdoinggood #bethechange #endhomelessness #dallastexas

Empowering families in crisis to break the cycle of poverty.
About us
Did you know families are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population? Interfaith exists to break that cycle by providing families with the stability, self-worth, and skills needed for self-sufficiency. Interfaith is the only Dallas agency that exclusively provides transitional housing for working poor families who are experiencing a housing crisis in one of our 25 lovingly decorated, furnished apartments. In addition to housing, parents are required to meet weekly with their personal success coach and financial empowerment coach to provide the accountability and support needed to reach their goals. Additionally, unemployed and underemployed parents must participate in our Career Development Program until viable employment is obtained. We also provide on-site counseling, child-care assistance, afterschool & summer programs, and life skills training. Interfaith is committed to outcome transparency. We value every dollar that is donated to our agency and we are committed to providing the best possible community return on each donor investment, as is evidenced through our results: 90% of families exited the program with employment and 81% transitioned to permanent housing with an average wage of $13.51/hour which is nearly $5/hour and $10,000 year above minimum wage. 70% of children exited with an average 2 grade level improvement in reading and 100% exited with aspirations to continue their education beyond high school. 100% of 2015 graduates remained employed and in housing one year later and 89% of 2014 graduates remain employed and in housing two years later. 86% of all graduates live without the aid of housing subsidies saving Dallas tax payers approximately $8 million dollars per graduating class.
