Beloved Community Center

Cultivating pathways that measurably increase self-sufficiency for low-to-moderate income (LMI) homeowners and  extremely low income (ELI) renters  

The mission

To cultivate pathways that measurably increase self-sufficiency for low-to-moderate income (LMI) homeowners and extremely low income (ELI) renters. 

Beloved cultivates these pathways through their (3) three pillar approach.

Financial literacy and stability, Housing Stability, and Community Stability via safe neighborhood.

To date, the longest LMI project that Beloved has operated was the Covid-19 funding distributed as grants to eligible Texas homeowners under the program administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA).

Beloved serviced 302 cases under the TDHCA grant program with a total amount of over $818,770.10 in mortgage, HOA fees, property taxes, insurance, and utilities payments dispersed to eligible, LMI homeowners.
While the majority of those 302 cases were in Dallas County, the subsequent payouts also assisted eligible, LMI homeowners in Brazos, Collin, Kaufman, Tarrant, Williamson, and Harris counties, making major impacts in Black, Brown, and rural communities across North Central Texas. Those 302 cases covered a one-year project period, i.e. September 2022 to September 2023.
