Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The cycles of poverty and generational dependency on public assistance that stubbornly persist as well as despairingly define low-to-moderate income (LMI) neighborhoods within the South Dallas/Fair Park community.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Low-to-Moderate Income (LMI) Assistance
Beloved's Homeowner Assistance programs provide financial assistance toqualifiedTexans who have fallen behind on their mortgage, utility payments, and related household/subsistence expenses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Beloved's financial assistance program was amplified with the receipt of a Subrecipient contract from the Texas Department of Housing and Communities Affairs (TDHCA)

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To assist low-to-moderate income (LMI) households receiving any form of public assistance with gradual AND sustainable independence/self-sufficiency as well as with laying the foundation for generational wealth through asset acquisition, especially single-family homes.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Beloved has contact information, relationship building, and data from participating in the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) Covid-relief program, i.e. TXHAF.
Based on those connections, our strategy is to follow and support those LMI households towards complete independence/self-sufficiency, given the trust that already has been built through the process of applying for and disbursing the housing assistance funds (HAF) on behalf of TDHCA.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Beloved has three (3) senior staff with advanced degrees in business administration, business management, transportation/logistics, and history. Combined, these three professionals offer counseling, strategic planning, budgeting, and a menu of skills sets directly related to transitioning LMI households from dependency to self-sufficiency.
Additionally, Beloved has a network of other nonprofit partners that pre-date the TXHAF project and also that were cultivated during the administration of the TDHCA-funded program targeting economically distressed homeowners negatively impacted by Covid-19. Those partnerships increase the capacity of Beloved via an effective referral system to ensure all clients receive wrap-around and holistic support.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Beloved has assisted nearly thirty (30) households with an average of nearly $8,000 per case, totaling almost $230,000 in financial assistance.
Our next steps include following those cases to see decreased utilization of public assistance and increased savings, investments, and other S.M.A.R.T. financial strategies that lead to transferrable wealth and away from generational poverty.

Last updated: 06/02/2023GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more
- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
