Supportive Housing

The Cornerstone Housing Development Corporation is a non-profit organization that includes house building, house renovations, and community revitalization. Its goal is to restore and revitalize communities by providing decent and affordable housing to low and moderate income families. Additionally, there will be job opportunities for those with barriers to employment who wish to gain valuable work experience in construction trades. Program participants are typically transitioning from rental properties, transitional housing, and even homelessness into home ownership. Participants attend a certified first-time home buyer's class as Cornerstone assists the churches, businesses, and other community organizations in the area to help assimilate new residents into the neighborhood.

Cornerstone Housing Programs include the New Life Center, Trinity Place, and Cornerstone Comprehensive Care Program (3CP).

New Life Center
1628 Sixth Avenue
Fort Worth, Texas

The New Life Center offers 18 homeless men an opportunity to transition from homelessness to a new life. During their stay, all residents are provided the supportive services of case management and mentoring as well as spiritual, physical, emotional, and financial guidance. Residents must desire to make lasting changes in their lives, stay drug and alcohol free, and pursue their training/education while they live at the New Life Center.

There is no question that the New Life Center is making a difference in the lives of the men it serves. Approximately ninety percent of NLC residents have a history of substance abuse and about half a criminal background. Despite these seemingly overwhelming statistics, 73% of our current residents have been sober for over a year- and several residents more than ten years! Most exciting in our eyes, we have several residents receive Christ every year! God is good and we are blessed to be a part of the work He is doing at the New Life Center.

Trinity Place
824 Samuels Avenue
Fort Worth, Texas

Cornerstone's Trinity Place program offers housing and after-care services to men transitioning from the New Life Center into their own home or apartment. All housing clients receive intensive case management to increase the rate of success.

The Cornerstone Comprehensive Care Program (3CP) has been serving the homeless of Tarrant County since 1997. 3CP provides opportunities for homeless families to become successfully self-sufficient by providing intensive case management services and housing. During a family's time in our transitional housing program, they not only work on increasing their earning potential through additional education and better employment, but are also encouraged to become more emotionally healthy and pursue a new or deeper relationship with Christ.
