I was fortunate to have been in the "OPEN ARMS PROGRAM" I was one of the first graduates to buy my own home,this program saved mine and my children's lives. This was the single most important step I ever took in breaking free from an abusive relationship. Open Arms is a wonderful program and I highly recommend it. Kimberly Armendariz. 9/16/2016

Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Since September 1988, Open Arms Home, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit, has addressed the unique homeless circumstances of almost 900-abused women and children. Referred by emergency shelters, family violence counselors, and other area agencies, eligible women enter a long-term (3-24 months) comprehensive program. Our program links support services necessary to meet the unique problems associated with domestic violence. On-site services provided are: safe housing; food; clothing; case management; individual women's and children's counseling; support groups; education classes; job assistance training; car repair, financial assistance and parenting classes. 79% of our clients come from the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas and surround area. The remaining have come from out of state and outside the DFW area. In an independent study conducted in 1995, 85% of the women completing our program stay out of abusive relationships permanently. They enter into the mainstream of society as self-supporting, tax paying individuals, often buying small homes in the community.
