Christ's Haven for Children

Christ's Haven provides exceptional trauma informed care for displaced and at risk children who need a place to call home. We serve as a basic care residential organization licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Our Campus Care program provides a warm and loving home to children and teens. Each home, or cottage, is cared for by a dedicated couple. In addition to providing for their needs such as medical, academic, and counseling services; houseparents strive to help our children grow physically, emotionally, academically, and spiritually. Our Life Path program provides a platform for our young adults to successfully launch into adulthood. Children in our care who are juniors and seniors in high school attend classes focused on life skills including, financial management, drivers education, vehicle maintenance, job application skills, and more. Following graduation from high school, this program offers the opportunity to pursue post-secondary education while remaining part of the Christ's Haven community. Our Teen Mom program is designed to support teen mothers currently parenting young children or who are expecting. The program provides prenatal care, safe childcare for their children, mentoring, and life skills for both mother and child. We strive to see these young women become exceptional care givers while also pursuing educational and career opportunities that will allow them to support their young family. Christ's Haven has been home to over 6,000 abused, neglected, and abandoned children since 1954. We serve approximately 35-40 children annually with a campus census that fluctuates with the needs of the families we serve. We currently have 5 cottages in the campus care program, 1 teen mom cottage, 1 teen mom transitional cottage, and a duplex style home for our transitional program participants.
