The Family Place
The Family Place empowers survivors of family violence by providing safe housing, counseling, and skills that create independence while building community engagement and advocating for social change to stop family violence.
​
In 1978 a group of community volunteers organized The Family Place as one of the first family violence shelters in the state. Today The Family Place is the largest family violence service provider in Texas empowering survivors of family violence with safe housing, counseling, and skill that create independence, while building community engagement and advocating for social change to stop family violence.
​
In 2023, we provided services to 44,024 unduplicated individuals, including 60,955 emergency shelter days, 20,805 transitional housing days, 15,157 counseling hours, and 6,144 hours of court-ordered group sessions for batterers. All services are offered in Spanish and English.
