Launch of Citywide Campaign to End Chronic Homelessness
Greater Dallas Justice Revival One Thousand Church Network Partners with Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance and Dallas Housing Authority to End Homelessness
| What: |
The Dallas Faith Community is standing with the community’s goal to end chronic homelessness by launching a citywide campaign entitled “Homes for Our Neighbors” to mobilize thousands of volunteers to adopt formerly homeless individuals through Permanent Supportive Housing. |
| Visuals: |
From the heart of Oak Cliff and nearby Cliff Manor Housing more than 150 invited spiritual leaders will celebrate the incoming residents to DHA properties across the city and commit their support to their success. Attendees will hear from a formerly homeless individual who is now a resident, support service representatives and city officials.
A special service project will follow Saturday, September 25, at Cliff Manor Housing with new formerly homeless residents, local churches, and the Community Gardens of Oak Cliff. They will build a community garden for residents of Cliff Manor with more projects to follow. |
