Our Mission
At The Tiana Project, we are dedicated to empowering and uplifting underserved communities by providing essential resources, support, and opportunities for individuals facing hardship. Our mission is to serve the homeless, rehabilitate and reintegrate individuals with felony records, and create brighter futures for low-income children. Through housing assistance, job training, mentorship, and education, we strive to break cycles of poverty, reduce recidivism, and inspire lasting change. We believe in second chances, dignity for all, and the power of community to transform lives.
Our Founder
Employment
By employing a vulnerable population, we wish to provide them with a stable income and routine. Many people who have criminal backgrounds have a hard time finding good paying, consistent jobs. Our goal is to provide a different and better experience for all involved.
A lot of nonprofits help individuals with criminal backgrounds get jobs, our approach is to be the job.
The Services We Provide
Education
As our employees continue to grow in their lives, we wish to be able to support them in any educational endeavours they want to pursue. We will do this by providing tuition reimbursement and financial support for miscellaneous things needed.
In the future, we also wish to provide direct educational opportunities by hosting different speakers to talk on different social issues impacting different communities. These opportunities will be hosted for both our employees and the public.
Education is key for progreesion and we wish to help facilitate that growth in the our employees as well as those, outside of our direct community, who want it.
Housing
One of our goals for the near future is to provide housing for those that need it. Whether it be out employees or others of Dallas. Eventually we plan to buy abandoned buildings and convert it into affordable housing units for the unhoused.
By doing this we hope to create a stable environment for people in need to grow and be successful outside of their workplace.
