Promise House

For decades, Promise House has provided homeless youth with the resources they needed. This year, we are strengthening our programs to focus on youth ages 18-24. Youth like Laquita, who, without Promise House is certain that she would be “dead or in prison”.

Laquita, who is a proud mother of three children, proud grandmother of six grandchildren, owner of “Gentle Hands School of Phlebotomy,” and longtime employee at the VA where she works in the mental health department and assists veterans who are experiencing homelessness, is just one example of the life-changing impact that Promise House has on the youth we serve.

For decades, Promise House has provided homeless youth with the resources they needed. At the core of our approach is Trauma-Informed Care. All of our programs will continue to use trauma-informed care as a guiding principle.

Reshunda Morrow, Director of Housing Resources at Promise House, says, “Trauma-informed care recognizes and acknowledges a youth’s past struggles and experiences. Through this process, Promise House is able to provide the best care through healing, trauma interventions, and assessments to better meet the needs of youth and ensure their success in the program.”

This is especially evident in our counseling program. Counseling has changed the lives of many of our youth, like Laquita. Of her counselor, Laquita says, “He saw where I was angry, he saw how I sabotaged myself, he saw where I was empty. He saw me and heard me crying out for help. He listened. No one else would.”

When Laquita first came to Promise House, she enrolled in our Pathways to Motherhood (formerly MGP) program at our Dallas location, Wesley Inn. Today, as a mother and a grandmother, Laquita is even more grateful to Promise House for helping her when she needed it most. Of her children and grandchildren, she says, “I am proud of them. I’m blessed to see them, blessed to be here and to be a part of their lives.”

We are committed to moving youth, including expectant mothers, out of crisis and toward safety and success. We provide crisis intervention, transitional housing, pregnancy and parenting support, counseling, street outreach, and education services.

For almost 40 years, Promise House has moved youth in crisis toward safety and success. Now, we are strengthening our services by sharpening our focus to serve youth ages 18-24.

We are dedicated to serving youth 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through our Promise House Welcome Center (formerly EYS), Pathways to Independence (formerly TLP), and Pathways to Motherhood (formerly MGH).

While the names of our programs have changed, our dedication and commitment to providing quality care have not. Our decades of work have helped people like Laquita Jackson, who came to us as a teenager during a time of crisis. Click here to learn more about Laquita's story. www.promisehouse.org/spring2023
