Mother Dozier's Homeless Foundation:
We are excited for our third year of participation in North Texas Giving Day! In 2022, we were able to utilize the funds to expand our operations and support women with children and youth in the Dallas County area who were experiencing homelessness.
With our 2023 campaign, we desire to raise funds to educate, empower, equip and execute our programs while providing tools for training and workforce for families. We have a goal to raise 30% of our fundraising budget through North Texas Giving Day and we Thank You for your support of our organization. Please feel free to visit our website for more information. www.motherdoziers.org
Sincerely, Rene Riles
We seek to make homelessness SCARCE, SHORT and SELDOM OCCURRING, Mother Dozier's Homeless Foundation serves women, children and families who are experiencing homelessness or those who are at-risk for homelessness. We believe that overall wellness begins with HOUSING FIRST and our ultimate goal is to provide the solution to those who are at-risk for homelessness and those who are experiencing homelessness through key partnerships and various partners and resources: life development skills, career training, nonprofit organizations and housing providers
Our Mission is to empower and equip those experiencing homelessness to be self-sufficient by providing tools to increase skills and knowledge for career development training, thereby resulting in gainful employment and financial stability.
The number of unsheltered women with children and youth is growing at an unprecedented rate. While this demonstrates an uninspiring trend of a problem, it also underscores a pressing need. Unsheltered women with children and youth often face disproportionate challenges in accessing the necessary resources and funding needed to become and maintain self-sufficiency.
A report on April 5th, 2023 found that single mothers are particularly vulnerable to homelessness due to their lack of resources, support systems, and financial stability. Furthermore, with the fleeing of domestic violence these statistics illustrate a startling disparity that hinders the women, thus limiting their economic and societal impact.
'Mother Dozier's Homeless Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to filling this gap by providing education, life development skills opportunities and resources of guidance to women thereby helping them to overcome these barriers and thrive as they overcome the homeless journey.
