Innovative Leadership
Our people make the difference!

Integrated Service-Enriched Housing
Samaritan House is one of only three facilities in the State of Texas and one of only 11 in the United States delivering such a broad range of services in an integrated fashion.

Active Community Networking
The management team actively networks within the local community, constantly looking for cooperative opportunities.  This resulted in the acquisition of the single occupancy building for $10 and an award of tax credits to fund over 50% of the Villages at Samaritan House.

Leveraging existing community resources

Samaritan House works with more than 30 other agencies and organizations to deliver services to residents. This avoids duplication of facilities, conserves resources and allows Samaritan House to focus its efforts on items not already provided within the community.

Building Trust

Integrity is essential to maintain the trust and confidence of contributors. Samaritan House is committed to maintaining the highest levels of integrity and honesty. Samaritan House successfully passes more than six external audits each year, primarily from government agencies. In addition, Samaritan House engages the services of accounting firm Wood, Stephens, and O'Neil, LLP to provide an independent audit.

Participative Leadership

The Resident Council allows residents to have an active role in managing the delivery of services. In addition, residents hold a seat on the Board of Directors. This not only give residents a direct voice in governance, it promotes self-esteem and confidence.

Partnership with Research

Samaritan House is certified by the State of Texas as a Teaching Facility and is recognized by local universities as a Learning Center. In this way, Samaritan House helps promote research and development to combat HIV and its effects.
