Providing a Hand Up, Not a Hand Out
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Promise Pointe is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose purpose is to provide permanent affordable housing and a supportive community for the chronically homeless in Victoria, Texas and the Crossroads region. Homelessness in the Crossroads is an immediate community problem with few solutions and not enough funding/program options currently. We are building a transformative residential community to serve our neighbors who have been living on the streets, while also empowering the surrounding community into a lifestyle of service with the homeless. Promise Pointe is a place that enables our homeless brothers and sisters to heal. It is a place where they can rediscover hope, renew their purpose and restore their dignity. Most importantly, it is a place they can call home. We offer many types of resident support, currently through volunteers, to help with life skills necessary to become independent, contributing citizens once again.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to reduce the number of homeless in the Crossroads.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We utilize many tools to achieve this goal, including identifying homeless individuals, assistance with application, and guidance in several areas once moved to the property. We research funding and apply for grants based on the need and applicability. We maintain an up-to-date website and social media page to facilitate familiarity in our community, online and traditional donation avenues, as well as volunteer opportunities. Interested parties are invited to call to arrange tours, and we open our meeting room to other groups who can learn more about us through attendance.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a very hardworking, cohesive board along with a dedicated Executive Director. We meet monthly and all committees present reports from their activities during the month with goals for the next month. We are all engaged in other aspects of the community creating positive exposure for Promise Pointe and we have varied work experience all coming together to create great input and information resources,, completing tasks quickly and efficiently. We have builders working with us, pastors, and other homeless advocacy groups coordinating with us as well.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have purchased, and own outright our property. We have outfitted a main building to serve as living space for the Executive Director, a meeting room, a computer lab, as well as an office space for professional visits with residents such as nursing, counseling, etc. We have also renovated a second structure to serve as a community bath, laundry, library, and community space for residents that is ADA compliant and totally accessible to all. We have also secured funds for and completed nine separate tiny homes for residents and have successfully begun moving in residents. We have secured funding and a builder for a tenth house as well as a community chapel that will break ground soon.
