Founded in 1971, Boys and Girls Country of Houston, located in Hockley, Texas, is dedicated to transforming the lives of children from families in crisis by providing a secure, stable, and loving Christian home environment.

Our residential program provides homes for children ages 5 to 18. Children live on campus in cottages with trained houseparents and attend local public schools. We are a trauma-informed community that caters to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each child. Each cottage operates as an independent family unit. This includes preparing meals, doing chores and attending vacations together.

Our residential program is nationally accredited through the Council of Accreditation (COA). Ensuring the mental and physical safety of the children in our care is our top priority, and residential decisions are made based on each child’s individual needs.

Houseparents at Boys & Girls Country are the backbone of our mission, building vital relationships with the children and raising them as their own.
