This Internet resource is intended to assist families, child care professionals, and others who are searching for information about Texas children and for placements for children. We know that finding a placement can be frustrating because of the lack of information about foster homes, treatment centers, and other residential resources.

Youth for Tomorrow maintains a resource that is easy to use and should help in your search. It is called the Texas Network for Children. This resource contains information on more than 485 providers primarily within Texas and is updated regularly. All questions about specific residential programs should be directed to those providers and not to Youth for Tomorrow. This website does not intend to endorse or otherwise recommend specific residential programs.
