Alumni

Dallas Providence Homes offers the life-long support for our alumni. Our former residents become active members of life! We stay connected with these family members and provide them with continued support and encouragement.

Success Story

Sheila (name changed to maintain confidentiality) had come from a background of spousal and drug abuse. Even though she was 49 years old, she was processing information on a 6th grade level. Her ability to function in society was limited and at one point she lived in a cardboard box under I-35. She came to us as a non-believer, with the clothes on her back, no front teeth and no self-esteem. She was able to graduate from the program 2 years later and exhibited remarkable growth including:

  • Dedicated her life to Christ
  • Provided her testimony in front of an audience of 250 people
  • Working full time at a retail store
  • Successfully living on her own
Alumni Quotes

"After my husband died suddenly, I became unable to care for myself. As a result, I became homeless and was introduced to Providence Homes. This has given me hope for the future. God only knows where I would be. You feel nothing but love here, even if you do not want it. God has truly blessed me."

"As a result of being raped, I entered a temporary shelter where I learned about the Providence Homes. While at the Providence House, I have been able to heal spiritually, emotionally and mentally. I am now able to rebuild relationships in my life. I would not have made it if it were not for Providence House. My life is changing for the better."
