Decatur Cooperative Ministry (DCM) is a faith-based cooperative providing a continuum of services to homeless and at-risk families to enable them to become self-sufficient. DCM was founded in 1969 and has been actively involved in serving the Decatur/DeKalb area ever since. It operates a transitional housing program for homeless, employed families as well as an emergency shelter for women with children. Additionally, it works to prevent homelessness by providing assistance with rent, mortgage, utilities, and food. DCM is committed to a ministry that seeks always to enable others to help themselves. To that end, it provides families participating in its programs with personal growth and development opportunities such as financial management education, computer training, and support groups. DCM also offers worship, educational, and volunteer opportunities to individuals and groups from the local community and beyond.

Decatur Cooperative Ministry is an ecumenical agency of over 35 congregations from 12 denominations.  People and congregations of all faiths are welcomed as partners.  DCM works in conjunction with schools and educational institutions, government agencies, businesses, civic organizations, and community groups.  Services, employment opportunities, and volunteer opportunities are open to all qualified applicants, and DCM does not practice or tolerate any form of discrimination based on religion, race, physical ability, gender, or age.
