We also love that the Home is the oldest continuously operating residential childcare agency in Travis County, and a priceless resource kept strong and viable through community support. With a mission is to maintain a therapeutic home for children and to restore each child to a healthy family setting. their goal is for the children to take responsibility for their own actions, leave with a sense of worth, improve their academic skills, and gain an increased sense of trust. Now that’s encouraging for what the next generation can do with a little help.
