A stable home.

What We Provide — and What We Don't

Three things, done consistently.

Agape is intentionally narrow in scope. We are not a clinical provider and we do not manage a veteran's care. We provide the three things that determine whether independent living actually holds: a roof, food, and a way to get where they need to go.

Housing

A private bed in a shared, well-maintained townhome. Not a shelter bed, not a facility — a real home with house rules, privacy, and stability.

Meals

A stocked kitchen with three meals a day, every day, plus snacks and drinks always on hand. No SNAP paperwork, no grocery runs required.

Transportation

Scheduled rides to VA appointments, the grocery store, and errands. A veteran without a car is not a veteran without a way to get care.

What Agape is not: a medical provider, a personal care facility, or a substitute for clinical or case management services. Residents live independently. We do not administer medication, provide therapy, or supervise activities of daily living. This keeps us fast to place into, easy to refer to, and squarely outside licensed care regulation.

From the Resident's Side

What a veteran actually receives.

Not a benefits summary — a real day.

Morning

Wake up somewhere stable.

Private bed in a shared room, in a home — not a shelter, not a facility. Breakfast is already stocked: eggs, oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, coffee. No one has to leave to eat.

Midday

Get to the VA without depending on a favor.

A scheduled ride to the Grand Prairie VA Clinic or the Dallas VA Medical Center is requested through the House Manager — no rideshare app, no bus transfers, no missed appointments for lack of a ride.

Afternoon

Groceries, errands, a life outside four walls.

Weekly scheduled runs cover what's needed — the pharmacy, the store, an appointment across town. Transportation isn't an emergency-only service; it's built into the week.

Evening

A real dinner, most nights already made.

Four to five nights a week, dinner is bulk-prepped and ready to serve. The rest of the week, the kitchen is stocked for residents to put something together themselves. Snacks and drinks are always available — this isn't a ration, it's a kitchen.

Every day

House rules, not surveillance.

Quiet hours, shared-space expectations, and a clear process if something goes wrong — the same structure any stable household runs on. No curfews tied to treatment compliance. No case file. Just a decent place to live.

Meal Plan

A stocked kitchen, not a hired kitchen.

At eight residents, a full-time cook isn't the right tool yet, and leaving residents to fend for themselves isn't either. Agape runs a stocked-kitchen model with rotating light prep — consistent, healthy, and built to scale as we add homes.

The weekly rhythm

Groceries

Snacks

~65% groceries (protein, produce, dairy) · ~20% bulk-prepped dinner labor · ~15% snacks, drinks, and pantry staples

Transportation Plan

A dependable route, with zero fixed cost.

Every resident needs a way to reach the VA, the grocery store, and errands within a 10–20 mile radius — covering the Grand Prairie VA Clinic and the Dallas VA Medical Center.

Confirmed Route

Rideshare & Contracted Partnership

Rides are booked and paid for centrally through a business rideshare account — no vehicle purchase, no commercial insurance rider, no driver to hire, schedule, or insure. Cost flexes automatically with actual need instead of paying for an idle vehicle on a slow week.

How It Runs

A light-touch model, by design.

Agape is built to run lean without cutting corners on the resident experience. One part-time House Manager — not a full clinical or administrative staff — keeps the household running.

House Manager · ~15 hrs/week

  • Owns the meal calendar and weekly grocery cycle
  • Books and confirms all transportation requests
  • Single point of contact for residents and referring case workers
  • Runs intake, screening, and house-rule enforcement

Why light-touch works here

  • Residents are independent by definition — they need infrastructure, not supervision
  • One accountable point of contact beats a rotating clinical team for consistency
  • Keeps the program financially sustainable without VA contract funding
  • Scales cleanly — the same model repeats at each additional property

Per-Occupant Cost

What a placement costs, per veteran.

$1,200 – $1,500 per bed, per month

Covers housing, all meals, and scheduled transportation — the full program, no separate line items or hidden fees.

$2,424 max monthly Aid & Attendance benefit, single veteran, 2026

Agape's pricing is structured to fit comfortably within this benefit. A veteran using Aid & Attendance can cover a placement in full, with no cost to the VA for the referral.
