Trust Her Clinic Finder
Trust Her is the programmatic arm of CPAL's reproductive and maternal health strategy. Trust Her works to optimize our systems along a woman's entire healthcare journey. This means ensuring women can access their preferred method of contraception without barriers so they can time their pregnancies for when they are ready, to building out resources and clinical support for moms during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
The Trust Her Clinic Finder helps identify health centers and providers in Dallas County you can visit for family planning care like birth control and contraceptive counseling, or prenatal care if you’re pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

CPAL Partner Spotlight: Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center
What if real-time data could help stop evictions before they happen?
- In this CPAL Partner Spotlight, we highlight how the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center (DEAC) is using eviction filing data from the Child Poverty Action Lab (CPAL) to execute a bold strategy: providing legal defense for every tenant, in every court, every day.
- With over 40,000 eviction filings each year in Dallas County, the stakes are high — and so is the potential for impact. CPAL’s real-time data allows DEAC to identify eviction filings as soon as they’re submitted, reach out to tenants proactively, and prepare legal defenses before they ever walk into court.
Here's how Dallas leaders plan to deal with the third-worst child poverty rate among
Community leaders launch CPAL to address Dallas’ high rate of child poverty.
- According to the U.S. Census' American Community Survey data from 2011 to 2016, children that grow up in single-parent households are up to 3 1/2 times as likely to grow up in poverty.
- CPAL combines the clout of leaders and CEOs from major city and county institutions and systems (i.e. City of Dallas, Dallas ISD, Parkland Health and Hospital System, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit) with community-based partners.
Dallas must get every penny of federal infrastructure funds
CPAL leadership will guide a working group aiming to maximize Dallas’ share of available federal infrastructure dollars.
- Dallas is eligible for an estimated $4 billion in formula funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
- The group will coordinate with officials to give voice to constituent concerns and leverage existing funds, with a goal to improve infrastructure across the city for future generations.
