Promoting Independence and Financial Stability

People will learn new skills, become more self-supportive and increase the overall quality of life for themselves and their families.

Examples include:

• Employment
• Housing
• Adult Literacy
• Emergency Assistance
• Independent Living for Seniors

In Texas, 10 percent of the population is 65 and older. Our aging population is losing their vision due to age, illness and age-related disease, impairing them from continuing to live independently.

• $25 provides one-hour of literacy instruction.
