Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. (Healing, Encouraging, and Restoring Troubled Spirits) is a faith-based North Texas nonprofit dedicated to empowering young women aging out of foster care by providing the support, stability, and opportunities they need to build successful, independent lives.
We believe every young woman deserves more than a place to live. She deserves a safe place to call home, trusted people to walk beside her, and the encouragement to discover her purpose and reach her full potential.
Our primary initiative, the A.C.T. (Addressing Critical Transitions) Transitional Housing Program, provides more than temporary shelter. It offers a safe, nurturing home where young women can heal from past trauma, pursue education and employment, strengthen financial and independent-living skills, build healthy relationships, and prepare for a future filled with hope, purpose, and opportunity.
In addition to our housing program, Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. operates the A.C.T. Crisis Stabilization Program, providing immediate support and stabilization for young women facing unexpected life crises. Whether responding to housing insecurity, emergency needs, or other critical transitions, this program connects participants with essential resources, advocacy, referrals, and compassionate support while helping them take the next step toward long-term stability. A portion of this campaign budget is dedicated to ensuring these critical services remain available throughout the year.
Through mentorship, life-skills education, individualized case management, wellness resources, and strong community partnerships, Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. equips young women with the tools, confidence, and support needed to achieve lasting independence.
We believe lasting change happens when communities come together. Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S. proudly partners with child welfare professionals, the courts, faith communities, businesses, nonprofit organizations, volunteers, and local leaders to strengthen the network of support available to young people transitioning into adulthood.
In July 2026, we were honored to partner with Judge Delia Gonzales, the Dallas County Child Protection and Permanency Court, Harvest Family Life Ministries, and other community organizations for Project Graduation, a celebration recognizing the resilience, accomplishments, and promising futures of young people connected to the child welfare system.
We're here, WE CARE, and together, we're building brighter futures, one heart at a time.

Our Most Urgent Needs: Creating A Safe Place to Land

One A.C.T. Creates Infinite Impact.
At Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S., we believe every person deserves to be seen, valued, respected, and given a meaningful opportunity to thrive.
We recognize that young women aging out of foster care often enter adulthood carrying experiences and facing barriers they did not choose. Limited access to stable housing, transportation, education, employment, healthcare, financial resources, and dependable relationships can make the path to independence significantly more difficult.
For us, equity means meeting people where they are rather than expecting everyone to begin from the same place.
Through trauma-informed, person-centered support, we seek to understand each participant's individual strengths, experiences, needs, and goals. We work to remove barriers, expand access to resources and opportunities, and provide the level of support needed for each person to move toward greater stability and independence.
We are committed to creating an environment where dignity is protected, differences are respected, voices are heard, and every participant is encouraged to advocate for herself and take an active role in shaping her future.
Our commitment to equity also extends to our A.C.T. Crisis Stabilization Program, where we meet individuals and families experiencing critical transitions with compassion, dignity, and practical support as they work toward stability.
At Healthy H.E.A.R.T.S., equity is not about giving everyone the same thing. It is about recognizing what each person needs to have a fair opportunity to move forward.
We meet people where they are. We walk alongside them. WE CARE - one heart at a time.
