Main Street Ministries Houston

MSM's Life Empowerment services provide participants with tools and support to avoid homelessness, achieve stability, and move toward self-sustainability through various services: financial management and life-skills education, short-term financial assistance, one-on-one coaching, and personalized community resource referrals. Our core program is a 5-month workshop that guides participants in establishing long-term goals and developing relationships and resources to support long-term sustainability.

The MSM Community Garden allows MSM program participants and community volunteers to work side-by-side to care for a beautiful garden that glorifies God's creation. Fresh, healthy produce is harvested for the Heights Food Bank, an open zip-code food pantry that is a resource for our families.

MSM's Identification Assistance services provide comprehensive support for obtaining Texas identification cards, birth certificates, and driver's licenses - essential documents for accessing employment, housing, banking, and other life-stabilizing resources. This 30+-year-old, volunteer-fueled program is Houston's primary ID assistance provider, receiving over 70 community agency referrals. We help individuals gather needed documentation, pay required fees, and complete applications necessary to obtain a state-issued identification card and supporting documentation.
