Leg Up Program

A nonprofit organization

The Annual Point in Time Count surveys homeless participants across the country to determine their barriers, what led to them being on the street, and what services they need. For the last three years in Tarrant County, the survey has shown that the leading reason that led to homelessness was the loss of a job. The Leg Up Program was created in 2015 to address that problem by providing employment and housing support. The Leg Up Program has two innovative components to help participants become successful , one focused on helping participants find employment and the other focused on securing housing for the participant. Since 2018, we have helped 150 participants find employment and have placed 25 households in housing. To date, every participant we have placed in housing remains housed.

Our Needs

We are a small organization doing all of this work with just two full-time staff. We are always in need of monetary donations, bus passes, gift cards for client lunches, books on interviewing, and interview/job ready clothing.

Mission

The mission of the Leg Up Program is to provide supportive employment and housing success programs to those who are homeless and at-risk of being homeless.
