Mission Statement
Mission: In order to assist a vulnerable homeless population to become self-reliant, Under 1 Roof provides permanent supportive housing and other services to homeless and low-income individuals as well as families of our community.
About This Cause
Under 1 Roof (U1R) began by providing housing assistance in 2011. We have expanded our services to include an effective continuum of housing programs and services, including case management. Our services are designed to empower those who are homeless or facing homelessness to become self-reliant. Under 1 Roof programs work in harmony to create a continuum of services and referrals to low-income individuals and families – with a focus on single mothers and children: Supportive Housing- Combines affordable housing with social services to help individuals and families cope with the challenges they face each day and obtain self-sufficiency. Under 1 Roof provides housing support while clients work toward self-sufficiency by maintaining employment, improving their education, and attending training sessions on employment, community living, budgeting, and other practical life skills. Rapid Rehousing – Intervention designed to help individuals and families exit homelessness and return to permanent housing. Under 1 Roof assists households in finding and securing housing, providing case management and referring clients to a network of community resources. Services provided are client-directed. Rent and Utility Assistance – Under 1 Roof schedules “assistance” opportunities for Dallas, Collin, and three neighboring counties. Residents apply for emergency rental and utility assistance. Applications and guidelines are available online at www.under1roofdallas.org/intake and can be accessed and submitted anytime during the month. Professional Case Management Services: Case managers work one-on-one with U1R clients, assisting with basic needs, promoting work stability, and encouraging higher educational attainment. They help clients create and implement a plan for success and introduce them to a network of community services, including job training and placement, a social enterprise system, family and youth programs, childcare, and substance abuse treatment. Legal Education and Services - Quarterly legal workshops, individual face-to-face meetings, consultations, and representation in court are available. Transportation – Bus vouchers are distributed as needed
