In one of America’s wealthiest cities, thousands of children in Dallas are growing up in families facing poverty and housing instability — conditions that can place them at risk of homelessness without early support.
Families are now the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population — and nearly 9 out of 10 are led by single mothers with young children.
Poverty and instability take more than shelter. They disrupt safety, routine, and a child’s ability to simply be a kid. Without early support, these experiences can shape a lifetime. But with the right care, healing and stability are possible — and that’s where Vogel begins.
It is our vision at Vogel to make sure that every child in our community has a home, a self-sufficient family, and a foundation for success in school and life. Our programming is culturally competent, holistic, and family-centered. A two-generation approach provides developmental interventions for children while helping parents establish a stable home environment.
We strive to Rewire Brains, Repair Hearts,
and Restore Families.
Since our inception in 1987, Vogel has served over 19,721 children. What began with just 15 children in a small alcove has grown into the comprehensive program offered today.
Our agency’s highly-skilled teachers, social workers, counselors, and therapists help children cope with the trauma of homelessness in Dallas and give parents the support they need to improve their families’ lives.
