Dr. Yates,
I appreciate the opportunity to share with you our work at Dallas Providence Homes and appreciate your personal involvement with our women and children.
Our Mission is to break the cycle of domestic violence for women and their children through long term transformational care that seeks to restore faith, hope and health. We accomplish this through our unique "transformational housing ministry" whereby we make a two-year commitment to our women and children.
We are NOT a shelter, which typically allows women to stay for 30, 60 or 90 days; we are a transformational housing ministry: we are the BRIDGE from the shelter back into the community. It is during the 24 months that we provide acontinuum of care, counseling, housing and life skill training that will enable our women to become self sufficient.

Recent statistics for our ministry:
-1 in 4 residents who enter our program will graduate
-64% of our residents overcame their addiction before leaving
-100% of residents increased self esteem

-Average wage earnings increased 77% upon leaving our program
-We reach our residents at a cost of less than $40 per day
One of our most recent success stories was a lady and her 8 year old son who came to us after having stayed at theSamaritan Inn, McKinney for almost 4 months. When she entered our program, she had an interest in the nursing profession, but no formal training, and her son was failing in school. After completing our program which provided stability as well as education for her and her son, she accepted a job at M.D. Anderson in Houston and her son has been selected to attend two gifted classes, one in math and one in science.
There are a lot of good causes, however, If you have some interest in learning more about our ministry or how you can get involved in helping change the life of a woman or a child, please visit our website at www.dallasprovidence.org email Lori Conley, Executive Director, at execdirector@dallasprovidencehomes.org. or me at mw.hagan@tx.rr.com
