Resource Center Community Center

Abruptly ended several programs and left many without jobs, have been coming to the resource center for almost a decade and am greatly disappointed with upper management.

The cutting of community specific programs was a direct slap in the face to every vulnerable person who called this place home. Especially at this point in time in our nation. It’s a cruel callous decision that shows us who the executives truly care about.

Great spot that fosters community engagement and activities!

The resource center health campus still provides some level of support to the community by way of more affordable health services. However it is unclear what the community center does, now that it has slashed and burned the social programs it had for the community. A re-org is one thing, a RIF with a fancy new program label is another. It's interesting that Resource Center felt the need to create positive publicity around the social program elimination, claiming "[We]’ve gotten nothing but positive response" and general corporate speak on how the new program will "Buzzword the Metric" TM. When it comes to companies, the more you have to say something unprompted, the less likely it is to be true. It is what it is, Resource Center, a social outreach center for the LGBTQ+ has removed it social programs, lied to and fired it's staff, and made vague first draft speech promises about an uncertain future that sounds more like an advertisement to its corporate sponsors than to the community it swears to serve.

Resource Center Dallas is an absolutely vital organization for the LGBTQIA+ and HIV/AIDS communities in North Texas. They offer a compassionate, safe, and affirming environment with comprehensive services, from essential health and wellness programs to crucial community support and advocacy. A true beacon of hope and strength for thousands of people.

It’s been difficult to watch the resource center pull back from our community over the years especially in these unprecedented times. Unfortunately I think the final straw is this decision by resource center to remove their social programs. They have been replaced by a one size fits all approach driven by cost reduction. It is clear that the new program checks a box off on a list for some manager and that is its intended value. There seems little care and concern whatsoever for how or what the program will accomplish, let alone materially do to replace the social programs it replaced.

They got rid of the programs that I and many others attended. I don't know where I'm going to go now, but it's probably not going to be at RC anymore.
