About Giving HOPE
Giving HOPE Inc. (formerly HOPE Inc.) has been serving individuals and families in Denton County since 1986. The organization was started by a group of ministers and other citizens who became concerned about the increasing number of people who were coming to churches to ask for financial assistance just to get through another month. HOPE Inc. was born after an advisory committee conducted informal research about the community needs and visited existing programs in the North Texas area that served people who were currently or at risk of experiencing homelessness.
Giving HOPE Inc. was a vital part of a network of agencies providing services for people who are currently or at risk of experiencing homelessness in Denton County. Giving HOPE Inc. is one of the Denton County front door agencies where people can access Coordinated Entry services and quickly be referred to an appropriate housing intervention.
The primary programs of Giving HOPE Inc. are listed below. With each program, case-management and wrap-around services are provided to ensure a path to housing stability:
Homelessness Prevention
Rapid Re-Housing
Permanent Supportive Housing
Street Outreach
About Grace Like Rain
Grace Like Rain Founded in 2016, Grace Like Rain (GLR) aids families who are in crisis and/or homeless. Our community-centric program focuses on 3 areas: affordable housing; reliable transportation; and quality and affordable childcare. We also provide life skills training to enable our clients to achieve long term personal and financial stability. During the challenging times that the COVID pandemic of 2020 caused, Grace Like Rain adapted and recognized where our resources were needed most. The foundational structure of community-centric case management services transformed and grew to encompass three specific organizational branches that integrate to meet the whole needs of families in Denton County, including:
Rise with Grace Case Management Program
Life Skills Programs
Housing & Readiness
