We believe that true community building goes beyond constructing houses—it’s about investing in people and helping restore lives. That’s why we’re proud to support Dorcas House, a nonprofit organization in Little Rock, Arkansas, that provides hope, shelter, and a fresh start for women and children affected by domestic violence and addiction.

Dorcas House serves as a safe haven for those escaping trauma, offering emergency shelter along with long-term recovery programs. Their domestic violence recovery program lasts 9 to 12 months and includes trauma recovery, anger management, and childhood sexual abuse recovery classes. They also offer a parallel 9 to 12 month substance abuse recovery program, giving women the tools and structure needed to rebuild from the ground up.

But the support doesn’t end there. Dorcas House continues walking alongside survivors through an optional three-year work program. Graduates of the recovery programs can work and save over 75% of their earnings, helping them build a financial foundation for their future. Additionally, the education program allows women to pursue their GED, vocational training, or a college degree while continuing to live at Dorcas House free of charge. For those who have secured stable employment and reliable transportation, transitional housing is available at the organization’s trailer park in Jacksonville, providing a supportive next step toward independence.

Dorcas House relies on the generosity of the community to continue its work. Financial donations help provide food, shelter, and medical care, while in-kind donations like clothing, toiletries, and household goods help meet everyday needs. Volunteers also play a vital role, offering time and encouragement that directly impacts the lives of the women and children being served.

Through our Building Unity in the Community initiative, Hines Homes is honored to stand with Dorcas House. Their mission to empower and restore lives aligns with our values, and we’re grateful to be a part of creating a safer, more hopeful future for families in Central Arkansas.

Together, we can make a real and lasting difference.
