INTERFAITH FAMILY SERVICES

Many families in Dallas are struggling, especially single mothers. 

According to Economic Issues for Women in Texas, 60% of Texas mothers are breadwinners, with women of color more likely to be the sole breadwinners. For many of these families, rent accounts for 50% of earnings, and childcare is around 30%, leaving 20% of the remaining income for food, gas, and everything else. One financial emergency can easily lead to homelessness. Single mothers, who account for 97% of Interfaith’s clients, are especially vulnerable. Thankfully, Interfaith Family Services is here to provide housing, help, and hope.  Since 1985, we have remained committed to our mission “to empower families in crisis to break the cycle of poverty.”

Interfaith’ s Solution for Single Mothers in Crisis

Interfaith Family Services empowers families to work their way out of poverty through the following Three-Step Family Empowerment Methodology: (1) eliminating barriers to housing stability through transitional housing and rent assistance, (2) equipping parents with skills to overcome poverty through career and financial coaching, and (3) educating children to break the cycle through on-site childcare, afterschool, and summer programs.
