Giving Grace is the result of Giving Hope and Grace Like Rain, two organizations that have served North Texas for a combined 42 years, merging.
Giving Grace is a 501c3 organization that serves individuals and families with children in Denton County who are currently homeless or are at risk of of becoming homeless. By offering our continuum of care, we empower individuals and families with the consistent support and community they need.
Our approach is holistic, and our goal is to break the cycle of generational homelessness.

We developed our programs with a holistic approach to meet an individual or family’s needs. Those we serve are typically in crisis and have needs that are not singular. For that reason, our programs include a range of services to provide a full continuum of care.
By offering this continuum of care, we empower individuals and families with the consistent support and community they need to overcome homelessness and housing instability.
Our Continuum of Care includes Street Outreach, Housing and Relief, and Rise With Grace Case.
The Giving Grace Continuum of Care includes these programs:
- Street Outreach - We identify persons experiencing homelessness, assess their barriers to accessing services, enroll them in our identification program, and refer them to crucial resources in our community.
- Housing and Relief - Through our Turning Point/PSH, Homelessness Prevention, & Rapid Rehousing programs, we assist individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness with multiple forms of aid to secure housing and create stability. We pair the resources with our Rise with Grace Case Management program to ensure long-term success.
- Rise with Grace - Our signature case management program, Rise with Grace, is a one-on-one case management program. Clients are paired with a coach to help build relationships and community to break generational cycles of poverty and homelessness.
- Love First - Our hope for the future, Love First is our solution to help families break the cycle of poverty and homelessness by pairing our Rise with Grace program with affordable housing and community.
