About Our Organization

Our vision is a world where all women are change agents for themselves, their families, and their communities.

In 1987, we opened our first home with a mission to help young women break generational cycles of abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness through empowering self-reliance and independence.

Since that day, Our Friends Place has provided a stable place for over 500 young women in Dallas to build the skills and confidence to avoid poverty and homelessness.

As part of the program, every resident enrolls in an education or vocational program, has a job, pays part of their earnings as rent and part to build their savings, while attending weekly group sessions about life and job skills.

In 2017, we created SOAR to Success , an innovative, award-winning homeless prevention program. This non-residential program serves more than over 500 youth each year in partnership with schools and youth-serving agencies in North Texas.

Our Friends Place is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to helping young women break generational cycles of abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness through empowering self-reliance and independence.  Our vision is a world where all young women are change agents for themselves, their families, and their communities.
