SERVICES
The South Dallas Employment Project (SDEP) provides both the framework and process to establish “Communities of Practice” that holistically serves opportunity populations; assisting these individuals to successfully reintegrate into South Dallas with the skills, competencies, knowledge and capabilities to live sustainable lives.
The South Dallas Employment Project is establishing SDEP Service Centers within apartment complexes and partner facilities throughout south Dallas. These centers enable the SDEP and our 185+ partners to provide direct services within the apartment complexes to apartment residences, as well as individuals and families living within close proximity to these service centers across Dallas.
