At Pathways, we recruit, train and support families who desire to open their home to children and youth who deserve a safe place to live. Our foster care program encourages the achievement of every child’s full potential by providing a stable and nurturing alternative family environment. At the same time, we implement specific treatment plans for foster children and their families while working towards the best permanent outcome for everyone involved.

We serve children and youth ages 0-17 that have been placed in the care of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). Typically, these are children who are experiencing a variety of social, emotional and behavioral difficulties because of abuse or neglect. They are children who need professional support and can benefit in a home outside their family.
