The goal of MLP is to help people get their finances back on track. Whether you’re caught in cycle of debt due to a payday/auto title loan or if you have a qualifying emergency expense, you CAN find a way out and feel more secure about your financial future.

The main component of MLP is a “mini loan” which helps stabilize program participants by preventing a cycle of debt. These loans will offer a manageable monthly payment that you can pay back over the course of a year. You may qualify for one of two types of loans:

1. a Conversion Loan, which converts short-term, high-interest loans ($500 – $4,000) with predatory lenders to a low-interest loan with lower monthly payments;
2. or an Emergency Loan, for an emergency expense that you don’t have funds for right away.

As part of the program, participants also receive coaching and other resources to help set them up for financial security. For more information, visit: svdpdallas.org/about-mlp

Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.

As a reflection of the whole family of God, members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic Rule.

Organized locally, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.
