A Woman’s Place: Programs for Lasting Change
Women make up 38% of the homeless population in Tarrant County. Victimization and abuse are two main reasons they find themselves — often with children — on the streets. In addition to basic needs — affordable housing, adequate incomes, and health care — many need mental health treatment and alcohol or substance abuse rehabilitation. We partner with other organizations for a holistic approach to recovery.
UGM-TC provides the following for women:
- Non-traditional housing program
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily
- Educational opportunities
- Referrals to various social service agencies within the community
- Spiritual Care programs – Interdenominational devotionals and daily chapel services
- Daily opportunities for Christian guidance/counseling
- Work readiness program for residents
- Transportation – bus passes for those needing to go to appointments and jobs
