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.

Today, The Family Place is the largest family violence service provider in Texas, empowering survivors of family violence with safe housing, counseling, and skills that create independence, while building community engagement and advocating for social change to stop family violence.
