Volunteers of America Texas assistance programs.
The Volunteers of America Texas branch works to address the root cause of poverty and hardships that families may be facing. The services and assistance that they are involved in providing is meant to break the cycle of low income or poverty in qualified households. While a number of services are administered, some of the key ones include employment preparation assistance, affordable housing, G.E.D. preparation, financial coaching, and overall life skills.
Programs for residents with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities can help people live as independently as possible in the community and ideally their current home. Several resources are available.
-Low income housing units and apartments offer the disabled in Texas a home environment where they can be supported by professional, on-site staff. Residents of the housing units will also have access to the social services they need to live with dignity. Housing is in both Fort Worth and Dallas County.
-Volunteers of America Texas Home and Community-Based Services work to make it possible for people to live in a home setting. The charity will coordinate self-help, socialization and adaptive skills for the disabled.

For those that were incarcerated, VOA in Texas tries to help them re-acclimate. The facts are that those individuals options for decent housing, employment, access to credit and more is limited. The staff and case managers believe in offering all people second chances, and the organization is strongly committed to helping people get back on their feet so they can avoid the repeated cycle of incarceration.
The so called re-entry programs start even while the person is still in jail or prison. Volunteers work with clients and help them gain life skills and overcoming problems with addiction if applicable. Get help in finding and maintaining employment in Texas. Staff will help clients build a network of resources and support so they can be successful over the short and long term.
Incarcerated women can also get assistance. One specific program, Resolana, provides referrals to non-profit resources. Volunteers of America Texas also can enroll people in other solutions such as Look Up and Hope: Strengthening Families Affected by Incarceration.
This particular program for ex-prisoners, both women and men, operates from Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston and Hutchins. Dial (817) 535-0853 for information.
