The Homes for Children Corporation (HFCC) is a nonprofit organization that provides hope and healing to youth, frequently in custody of the state as they move from dependent, often abusive, neglected relationships into independent, self-sufficient lifestyles. As 1 out of every 207 children in North Texas is a foster child, the need for assistance is ever increasing. After being removed from their homes due to abuse and/or neglect, foster children often have to start their lives over in a new place at a young age. The Homes for Children steps in to help make their new life in foster care a productive, nurturing experience, and to ensure that their needs are met. The Homes for Children fulfills the specific needs of North Texas foster children when no one else can or will so they are able to have as normal a childhood as possible.
