About A Christian Response of Shelter and Service, Inc. (A‑CROSS Ennis)

A‑CROSS (A Christian Response of Shelter and Service, Inc.) is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Ennis, Texas that provides temporary housing and case‑management support for people who were previously self‑sufficient but experienced a sudden crisis (job loss, illness, fire, divorce, etc.). The organization owns and operates transitional housing (reported as fourplex units) and combines shelter with referrals and services — employment help, counseling, health‑care navigation, childcare assistance, and accountability planning — to help clients move back to independent living. Recent public filings and organizational information show active operations and community fundraising: in the most recent reporting years A‑CROSS served dozens of clients (roughly 30 families over a 12‑month period), reported annual revenues in the low hundreds of thousands, and maintains substantial net assets, reflecting continued program activity and local support.
