The Time is NOW!
Your donations matter more now than ever!
Between fighting legislation that could have forced us to close our doors and the cuts to federal funding, Agape Resource & Assistance Center has had a hard year. Your continued generosity allows us to support women and their children through the hardest moments in their lives. Agape is not a temporary fix, but rather provides a holistic solution to homelessness proven to help our Agapeans move on to fulfilling, self-sustaining lives while realizing the plans God has for each of us: no harm, true shalom, and a future with hope.
(Jeremiah 29:11)
Please consider donating for NTGD. If everyone does a little, together we change a lot.

AGAPE IS BUILDING AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION – JERICHO VILLAGE™
Agape is expanding its mission and continuum of care by building Jericho Village, an innovative 38-unit urban village of income based rental homes in Wylie, Texas. Jericho Village will provide truly affordable homes not only for women-led families who graduate from Agape, but for other households who struggle each month to stay safely housed.
Building on the success of Agape’s Housing 4 Hope Empowerment Program, Jericho Village will provide Empowerment Support Services on-site and available to all Villagers to help vulnerable households attain and retain increased stability.
Together, Agape and Jericho Village will provide a continuum of transitional to affordable housing to households who are or are at risk of becoming homeless. Empowering Services will provide the ways and means to attain and retain economic stability breaking cycles of poverty and homelessness now and for generations to come.
JV progress
Agape Resource & Assistance Center's mission is to provide safe, stable housing and transformational services to homeless single women, moms and their children that empower them to move from crisis and poverty to fulling, self-sustaining lives.
The cost to provide life-changing support to one family for one year is approximately $27,000. This includes housing (including utilities, average repairs and maintenance, internet, insurance), childcare and youth care (including tutoring and mentoring), transportation support, education (including reskilling & upskilling education, vocation training, budget coaching), health and wellness support (including counseling). We serve, on average, 25 – 30 households/year.
