Normalcy. Dignity. Hope. – Christ’s Haven For Children is a nonprofit organization centered
around these core values. We are located in Keller, TX, and provide a trauma-informed, family
model of care for displaced children, teens, and young adults. As a voluntary placement
organization, we are an option outside of traditional foster care, often when a caregiver has
exhausted all efforts to care for a child. Whether a child is with us for six months or sixteen
years, we utilize that time loving them as our own and instilling normalcy, dignity, and hope
into their lives. As a faith-based organization, our hope is that their time with us will help lead
them toward healing from their past abuse and/or neglect.
