Every child deserves to be cared for…

We Do What It Takes

We help transition youth and families from a controlled institution to a provider operated setting, family home, or to their own private residence.

We provide the help that it takes for youth to experience stable, safe living conditions and services to help young people develop skills necessary to move to independence and experience life as healthy, productive adults.

Receiving Help From Kids Family Network

We network with a lot of organizations governed by the state of Texas to bring you the help and assistance that you and every child deserves.

Families With Individual Needs

Transitional Services

Transitional Services are all of those services that go to help transition youth and families from an institution to a provider operated setting, or to a family home, or to their own private residence.

Our transitional services are multipurpose and available to youth and young adults up to 23 years of age.

Extended Foster Care

Extended Foster Care provides opportunities to continue foster care placement and facilitate the transition to independence.

Our Extended Foster Care helps individuals aging up to 21 years of age.

In-Home Services

In-Home Support is a program to deliver family preservation and reunification services to families impacted by poverty contributing to neglect.

The intent of the initiative is to prevent removals of children from their homes or, when removals are necessary, to speed reunification.

We offer these services through case management, therapy,  monetary benefits, etc.

Respite Care

Respite services are designed to offer families a break from caring for their child with developmental delays or disabilities.

We have someone available to assist you if you need time away.
