exas Inter-Faith, doing business as the Good Neighbor Program, provides supportive services to qualified low-income apartment communities. While all communities have similar needs, the development stages of a community will vary; therefore, supportive services are customized and timed to provide the advancement, improvement and social needs of each community as these opportunities arise. These services have been developed to meet the specific needs of the distinct groups of residents we serve - Seniors, Youth and Families. Our services focus on empowering residents, thus enabling them to claim and maintain their self-sufficiency and work towards building pride in the community and creating a 'true' neighborhood. On an individual basis, the long-term goal is to prepare residents for eventual home ownership.

Support services are provided in association with social service agencies, churches/synagogues and non-profit organizations. TIF works to assure that the right combination of services is offered to meet the myriad of needs within an apartment community. Services offered include but are not limited to personal growth opportunities, family skills development, education & referral services, fun & freedom activities and neighborhood advancement programs.
  

TIF's Supportive Services program has succeeded in becoming a statewide model and is well recognized by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). At present, we have over 499 children in our afternoon/after-school activities and our programs are offered to over 4,000 individuals. Our Service Coordinators are trained and encouraged to bring new and innovative ideas and teaching methods into the program. We view our Coordinators as the catalyst for our residents to connect with the services they need. Additionally, various forms of electronic media allow for face-to-face links between our on-site communities and thus provide connection for our entire combined-community. In addition, this technology continues to foster local community development. For more information about our supportive services programs, please contact us.
