$5,000 Goal

For the past decade, Helen's Project has worked with health and social services entities like Child Protection Services, Parkland Hospital, Baylor Scott and White, and University Health Systems San Antonio. Through referrals and active engagement with these organizations, we have helped stabilize families and provided means for livelihood transformation. We have also worked with law enforcement authorities in our rehabilitation and safe community programs.

Our Needs

Currently our agency is in need of larger space to provide additional services to the youth in the community. We are also in need of funds to be able to increase the number of students we are able to impact through our work and mission.

Mission

Our mission is to provide hope to communities. With a focus on homeless and low income individuals and families. We want to see family stability, health access, and positive community change. Thus, we strive to provide solution focused social support and resources with excellence in quality, service and access.

Regardless of their story, Helen's Project is dedicated to eliminating barriers to stability. We are here to work collaboratively through a variation of services to remove barriers to long term stability.

Equity Statement

Helen's Project is committed to racial equity both internally through our work environment, and externally through our programming.

• We are committed to ensuring that every policy enacted reflects democratic principles of equity and justice.

• We understand that enacting policy in a just and equitable manner considers critical issues of implicit bias and discrimination that requires concerted and purposeful action.

• We believe that bringing together community, staff and other partners with differing backgrounds and life experiences will enhance our ability to increase opportunities for all arts service organizations to succeed.

• Policies, programs, and activities will be administered to identify and avoid discrimination and barriers to access, and to avoid disproportionately high and adverse effects on communities of color.

• We will obtain the following information when relevant and appropriate in order to utilize data to evaluate the impact of our equity goals: population served and/or affected by race, color, national origin, and income level, which will include diverse communities across the state such as: communities of color, racially and ethnically diverse individuals, tribal communities, immigrant and refugee communities, and communities that have principal languages other than English.

Building a race equity culture requires intention and effort. This Helen's Project Racial Equity Statement should inspire greater collaboration in policy making, strengthen public will and input, and develop policy making that has a strong commitment to advancing equity. Led by our Racial Equity Statement, we will fully integrate race equity into every aspect of our operations and programs and work toward the dismantling of structural racism wherever we encounter it and improving Helen's Projects outcomes for all.
