Community Development Corporation
Social Service Programs
Prison Re-entry Program (Partners: Operation Oasis, Hope Wheaton Organization &
Concord Missionary Baptist Church) –SouthFair has provided case management services to
assist hundreds of ex-prisoner and their families to acclimate back into the community as
productive members of society. We have experience a significant reduction in repeat offence and
moved several clients toward self-sufficiency.
Fostering Grandparents (Partner: The Senior Source) -An alarming number of grandparents
are raising children because the parents are either incarcerated, suffering from drug addictions or
have endangered the lives of minor children through abusive situations and/or homes.
Mentoring Incarcerated Youth (Partners: Dallas County Juvenile Dept., West Dallas
Community Center & Against the Odds) This aim of our supportive services focus on
providing supportive services to the children facing dysfunctional social economic issues and
guiding the child to a productive life style
Mentoring School Age Children (Partners: Still I Rise, The Writer Garret) -A
collaboration of mentoring services is provided for school aged children with onsite support at
large multi-family units.
Project Safe Neighborhood (Partners: U. S. Department of Justice) Project Safe
Neighborhoods (PSN) is a nationwide network designed to create safer neighborhoods by
reducing gun violence and gun crime, and sustaining that reduction. The success of this program is
primarily attributable to resources together to take a hard line against guns crimes, heightened
coordination among federal, state, city and local agencies, followed by emphasizing tactical
intelligence information strategies.
Weed & Seed Program South Fair operates the South Dallas Weed and Seed (SDWS)
Program through an Advisory committee with federal government, State of Texas, City Of Dallas
and local community based agencies and national operations overseen by the U.S. Attorney’s
Office with a 5-year strategic plan to present an innovative comprehensive multi-agency approach
to law enforcement, crime prevention and community revitalization. Weed and Seed is a foremost
strategy that aims to prevent, control and reduce violent crime, drug abuse and gang activity in
South Dallas. SDWS Program is a two pronged approach: (1) Law enforcement agencies and
prosecutors cooperate in “weeding out” violent criminals & drug abusers and (2) Local public
agencies and community based organizations collaborate to “seed in” much-needed human
service, including prevention, intervention, treatment, and neighborhood restoration programs.
Public Housing Safety Initiative (Partners: HUD and DHA). South Fair has worked with the
U. S. Attorney’s Office to assist the Dallas Housing Authority to develop a safer neighborhood in
two of their public housing developments. The social services provided to the developments
through the PHSI Program included job training and employment assistance to providing teens
with technical skills and soft skills needed to succeed in the job market, financial literacy training to
instill basic money management skills for both youth and adults; Junior Community Volunteer
Program to provide on-the-job experience to young adults entering the work force and the DEFY
Summer Camp Program to create an environment where youth across the Dallas/Ft Worth Area
has an opportunity to participate in a comprehensive preventive program that strengthens
protective factors and reduces risk factors that scientific research has directly linked to adolescent
alcohol and drug abuse, school failure, delinquency and violence.
