Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Sybil H. Smith Family Village (SSFV)
SHSFV is the only homeless shelter in the area that functions as a 24 month program. This model is designed to help families transition into stable housing by supplying them with the tools, resources, and skills necessary for self-sufficiency. During their 24 month stay, families have access on-site support services as well as referrals to other community agencies and institutions. Program elements covered by these grant funds include direct support provided by security/night relief staffing services and case management.
After School Achievement Program (ASAP)
ASAP is the only program in the Crichton-Toulminville area that provides free supervision and recreation for students during critical hours between the end of the school day and the work day. Low income families (defined by an average family income of less than $20,000) constitute 69% of these neighborhoods. Youth hailing from impoverished, underprivileged backgrounds are at risk for dropout and juvenile crime at higher rates than middle-class families. ASAP counters this trend by offering daily after school programming designed to keep students on track to graduate and receive the financial, social, and health and wellness benefits associated with higher education.
Senior Activities for Independent Living (SAIL)
The Dumas Wesley Senior Activities for Independent Living (S.A.I.L.) program provides daily activities Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We serve an average of 70 seniors daily. A hot, nutritious meal is served to 25 seniors at the center and meals are transported to an additional 35 home bound seniors in the Crichton and Toulminville area. Participants are asked to give a small daily donation and may join in a variety of activities including games, nutrition education, guest speakers, health checks, exercise and computer classes. Some participants in Crichton and Toulminville are also provided transportation to and from Dumas Wesley.
The seniors enjoy a variety of outings such as fishing, visiting museums, shopping, dining, Mardi Gras parades, and other fun events in the Mobile area.
Family Day Care Homes (FDCH)
Dumas Wesley is a sponsor of the USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program. This program plays a vital role in improving the quality of day care and making it more affordable for many low-income families. Dumas Wesley works with 58 family day care home providers in Mobile and Washington Counties. Homes must be licensed or approved to provide day care services. Providers are eligible to receive a monthly food reimbursement if regulated guidelines are met each month. Reimbursement for meals served in day care homes is based upon eligibility for tier I rates (which targets higher levels of reimbursement to low-income areas, providers, or children) or lower tier II rates. Dumas Wesley monitors each provider by conducting three on site visits per year, one hour in home training, and a yearly workshop.
If you are a home cay care provider who would like more information about this program please call Dumas Wesley at 251-479-0649 or email Bobbi Kidd at [email protected].
Immigration Services
Immigration Services provides assistance to families and individuals working their way through the complexities of the process of immigrating to or staying in the United States.
The goal of our service is to help families remain intact by ensuring that each individual entitled to immigration benefits can access those opportunities.
We also assist spouses in domestic abuse situations who are dealing with immigration issues. This service usually involves developing a petition for protection under the Violence Against Women Act which, when approved, allows such spouses to self-petition for the right to permanently stay in the United States. Over 200 individuals received direct services in 2015.
Fees for services are means-tested and range from nothing to a nominal amount.
Immigration Services is operated by Perry B. Noble, J.D. For more information or for an appointment please call 251-455-6328.
Immigration Services is not a law firm and is not a substitute for an attorney or a law firm. Immigration Services does not provide legal advice and only provides self-help services at the individual’s specific direction.

Dumas Wesley Community Center
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
