Casa De Esperanza De Los Ninos
Our Mission
Casa de Esperanza de los Ninos strives to break the cycle of child abuse and neglect for at-risk infants, children and their families by providing comprehensive residential and family support programs that transform people and communities.
Our Vision
Every child deserves a home that provides safety, health, permanence and hope.
Our Children
When Casa de Esperanza first opened in 1982, the plan was to provide a safe place for families in crisis to leave their children until the crisis was resolved, at which time the family would take their children home to a safer, more stable environment. Since then Casa de Esperanza has cared for over 6,700 children and their families.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Adults who are new to the fostering process sometimes feel overwhelmed and wonder if they will have support on their journey. Your child-placing agency is the first resource. Social services caseworkers provide aspiring foster parents with various types of support and connections. These include free educational training programs, helplines, and support groups.
It is important that foster parents build their individual support network, too. Connecting with other foster families with more experience is an excellent place to begin. Texas groups offer foster parent meetups; you can search online for the closest one.
The Texas Foster Family Association provides state training, a regional directory of support services, a summer training conference, and more. Membership benefits include getting access to foster care professionals and learning more about ways to become better caregivers. Children of TFFA members can also get assistance through the Scholarship Fund.
Austin Angels is another support organization that strives to assist foster parents and Texas foster children. They offer care packages and gifts for foster children and their caregivers, mentorship options, and education, among other resources. Foster children and teens can learn valuable skills that help prepare them for independent living, as well.

(Translated by Google) The place promises a lot but doesn't deliver. Disorganized, and a lack of importance about who comes and why. I wasted a lot of time and money going there hoping for a result that didn't come...

O lugar promete muito mas não entrega. Desorganizado, e uma falta de importância sobre quem vem e por que. Perdi muito tempo e dinheiro indo lá esperando por um resultado que não veio...

I know first-hand that Casa provides for the children AND the families in their care. I was a volunteer, an employee, a foster parent, and now an adoptive parent with lifelong ties to this community. The directors are absolute gems with hearts the size of Texas. It was my privilege to work with them, and many talented staff who work tirelessly on behalf of the children.
