What We Do
OUR MISSION
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.
Since 1978, The Family Place has empowered survivors of family violence by providing safe housing, counseling, and the tools needed to build independence. Through community engagement and advocacy, we work to create lasting social change and end family violence. Today, The Family Place is one of the largest family violence service providers in Texas, offering three emergency shelters—including the state’s only shelter for men and their children—community-based counseling centers, transitional housing, and more to support survivors fleeing abuse.

- Services to 40,150 unduplicated individuals
- 42,140 nights of emergency shelter
- 20,805 nights of transitional housing
- 4,480 hours of counseling
- 6,970 hours of case management sessions
- 6,601 hours of court-ordered psychoeducational groups for batterers
All services are provided in Spanish and English.
