Who We Are

Building Communities, Restoring Hope

Promise Pointe was founded to provide permanent affordable housing and a supportive community for the chronically homeless in Victoria, Texas, and the Crossroads region. Inspired by the Community First! Village in Austin, TX, we offer a transformative environment where our neighbors, once living on the streets, can find dignity, rediscover hope, and renew their purpose. Our goal is to create a place of healing and empowerment, not only for our residents but also for the surrounding community to engage in service.
