CSBG Synopsis
As the designated Community Action Agency the Urban League is charged with serving the poor of Dallas County who are at or below 125% of the most current poverty income guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Program services are implemented through their Urban League Community Service Centers. These Centers provide a foundation to enable low-income families and adults to move from poverty to self-sufficiency; improve their lives through community revitalization; own a stake in the community by identifying needs; establish and meet goals; learn, expand and navigate social service and other service networks through community needs assessment; and achieve family stability.
These Centers can be easily accessed at their Garland, Irving, Pleasant Grove and Oak Cliff neighborhood locations. Service hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Referrals are accepted, but each client must meet income guidelines.
