THE FAMILY PLACE

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, with three emergency shelters providing 136 shelter beds each night, including the state's only shelter for men and children, and three counseling centers. All of our services are completely free and offered in Spanish and in English... We served 19,038 individuals last year across all programs. We provided 64,324 days of emergency shelter, 24,019 days of transitional housing, 18,752 hours of counseling to nonresidential clients, and 7,808 hours of court-ordered group sessions for batterers... The Family Place has been helping victims of family violence in North Texas since 1978. We provide everything needed to help victims become survivors.
