Our Commitment

An integral part of what we do at UGM Dallas is equip our clients with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to live productive and fulfilling lives. We help them understand this season of homelessness can be the starting point for a new career, new relationships and a better life. “Helping people get a job at a living wage is essential to end their homelessness. This means looking beneath whatever symptoms people have to uncover their core gifts, skills, and interests—in essence, ‘meeting them where they are at.’” – Gary Shaheen, HUD, and John Rio, Department of Labor

Educational Programs

Through our empowerment programs, we aim to equip individuals with the skills and resources necessary to break the cycle of homelessness. 

UGM Dallas partners with local businesses, non-profit organizations, business leaders, volunteers, and churches to provide those participating in our discipleship programs with a skill set that will help them find employment. Through our various partnerships, participants learn about accountability, the importance of timeliness in completing their work and responsibilities.

UGM Dallas Learning Centers, located at our two main shelters, were created to meet our homeless residents where they are, so that we can help them set and attain their goals.

In the 21st century, a lack of computer skills severely limits a persons’ ability to qualify for most jobs. All of our shelters have on-site learning centers where clients can learn computer skills, basic math and reading, and the use of an online job bank. They also receive assistance completing job applications. 

Ken, a 47-year-old Discipleship Program graduate, said, “When I came to UGM, I couldn’t read. Now, I’m motivated to know the Bible better so I can succeed in living the Christian life.”
