Emergency Shelter
The Emergency Shelter provides residential care and specialized services to newborns and children up to 18 years old. Children can stay in the Emergency Shelter for up to 90 days while Case Managers and the Program Management Team work diligently to assist Child Protective Services with finding permanent living arrangements that match the needs of each child. While in the shelter, the children have a warm bed, three square meals a day and access to medical, dental and developmental assessments.

Girls Residential Therapeutic Program
The Girls Residential Therapeutic program provides a stable, long-term home for girls aged 10-18. The girls live in a twenty-four-hour therapeutic home environment with structured supervision and intensive support services.

Transitional Living Program
The Transitional Living Program (TLP) is for young women aging out of foster care. The program includes provisions for safe housing and services to provide for mental and physical health, education, and improved well-being. Residents in the TLP are taught self-sufficiency through hands-on learning emphasizing the development of educational, vocational, financial, domestic, and personal safety skills

Foster Care & Adoption Program
Through this program, we recruit, train and support foster and foster-to-adopt families. Our Foster Care and Adoption program exceeds the State's minimum requirements for becoming a licensed foster and adoptive home.

Safe Place Program
Jonathan's Place facilitates a runaway prevention and education program for youth in the Dallas area. Through this program, we provide a 24-hour crisis hotline and emergency counseling services for runaway or homeless youth.

Restoring and Educating Survivors to Empowerment & Transformation 

The new RESET program cares for survivors of child sex trafficking by providing an emergency shelter and long term therapeutic foster home opportunities throughout the community.

Wesley Inn Maternity Home

Wesley Inn is a two-year housing program for up to 12 young, homeless mothers (ages 18-23) and their children (ages 0-5). The main goal is to provide pregnant and parenting teens and young adults with the resources they need to grow into healthy, independent adults fully capable of supporting themselves their families. During the first month of care, residents sign up for childcare, education, immunizations, counseling, and mainstream services, like food and clothing. Before the third month, residents are enrolled in school and/or working, up to date with doctor appointments, and attending weekly counseling sessions. Residents at Wesley Inn are connected with a case manager who works with them throughout the entire duration of the program and assists in developing behavioral and educational goals.
