Who Can Be Nominated?
Advocates must be able to vouch for the character and determination of the client, and must be willing to help the client continue to meet future goals.
Please verify that the nominee meets ALL of these requirements to be considered for our program. OnRamp DFW cannot accept clients that do not meet all these criteria. If you have questions or would like to be considered as a rare exception, please send us an email (tara.jones@onrampdfw.org) before continuing.
Nominee has a full time job (30+ hours per week). If the answer is no, exceptions can be made but please email us with more information before continuing.
Nominee is at least two years sober from any drug or alcohol addiction (in limited situations, exceptions to this rule may be granted, but please contact us before proceeding).
Nominee is at least two years past any imprisonment, parole, or probation (in limited situations, exceptions to this rule may be granted, but please contact us before proceeding).
Nominee has a valid driver’s license with an up-to-date address
Nominee has the ability to procure and pay for car insurance
Nominee has positive monthly net income taking all income sources and debts into account.
Nominee or nominee’s immediate family do not already have a running vehicle. (in limited situations, exceptions to this rule may be granted, but we generally do not give 2nd cars to families)
If your nominee mets these qualifications and you would like to advocate for them, please fill out the form below.
Due to a recent influx in nominations, we have made the decision to close down nomination through March.
Our current waitlist for accepted clients has extended beyond what we believe to be helpful timeframe for those in our program. Be on the look out for when we will reopen nominations later this Spring. If you have specific questions, please email us at info@onrampdfw.org. In the meantime, please review the following information about requirements/expectations for advocates.
Once a nomination has been submitted, we will review it and, if we decide to move forward, will send you a full application to give to the person you are nominating. That full application gets into goals, finances, and vehicular needs. Once they complete the application, we will schedule an in-person interview with you, your nominee, and our OnRamp DFW Client Committee.
*Note that advocates are not required to provide any funds towards a vehicle
