Every year, Kim Schlossberg Designs uses our holiday card to introduce an important non-profit organization to our friends. This year, we are supporting two organizations bringing hope to people both near and far. To experience the joy of helping prevent homelessness in Dallas or transforming the lives of orphaned and vulnerable African children, please scroll down to learn more about Housing Crisis Center and Empower African Children.

The Housing Crisis Center (HCC) offers programs and services designed to prevent homelessness and to stabilize the elderly, the disabled, and families with children in decent, affordable, permanent housing, and to empower these people to be able to solve future housing problems. Our vision is to “make our community a better home for everyone.”

Each year more than 20,000 households receive support through Education and Legal Services; Home Power Social Services; STEPS: Short Term Housing Program for families with children; Home Again Long Term Transitional Housing; and Veterans Housing Partnership.

All HCC programs are strengthened by support services: groups, financial literacy and personal budget classes, child care through Vogel Alcove, and individualized community referrals.
