Children’s Safe Harbor has started constructing a new $10 million, 45,000-square-foot facility in Conroe, Texas, to expand its capacity to provide essential services and support to children affected by trauma, with an expected opening in fall 2025.
Montgomery County, Texas—Children's Safe Harbor, a nonprofit organization committed to providing assistance to exploited children, has commenced construction on a new $10 million facility in Conroe, Texas.
This 45,000-square-foot structure will improve the organization's capacity to offer essential services to children affected by trauma. The new facility, which is anticipated to open on Loop 336 East in the fall of 2025, will function as a sanctuary for support and rehabilitation.
The new center will be located on 17 acres of land, surrounded by mature trees, which will create a tranquil environment for children and families in need.
The first floor will include a conference and training center for community events, a law enforcement area, and a Healing Garden that is intended to foster recovery and well-being.
A light-filled sanctuary will be provided on the second floor for counseling services, enabling children to share their narratives and receive therapeutic assistance. Additionally, Family-Based Safety Services personnel will be integrated into the multidisciplinary team to provide support to non-offending family members in the areas of education and parenting.
The initiative has received substantial community support, including a $2.5 million commitment from the Woodforest Charitable Foundation for the naming rights to the new facility.
Since 2009, the foundation has been a consistent contributor to Children's Safe Harbor.
The organization evaluated more than 8,200 reports of child abuse and provided services to over 2,300 children across Montgomery, Walker, and San Jacinto counties in 2022.
The objective of Children's Safe Harbor is to establish a collaborative environment in which agency professionals collaborate to expedite the investigative process for child abuse cases, thereby reducing the trauma experienced by young victims.
However, the new facility will not only increase its capacity to serve but also improve the quality of care provided to vulnerable children and their families.
The organization remains dedicated to its mission of attaining justice and healing for every abused child in the community as construction advances.
In a rare and unified stand, more than 200 presidents of U.S. colleges and universities have signed a joint statement accusing the Trump administration of dangerous political interference in higher education. The coordinated response comes on the heels of a federal lawsuit filed by Harvard University, claiming that the government is threatening its academic independence.
Texans turned out in full force this past weekend as The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival marked its 20th year with record crowds, perfect weather, and a strong dose of Texas-sized creativity. With over 200 artists, dozens of performances, and a mission to “Make Art Matter,” the festival once again proved why it’s one of the top-ranked art events in the country.
Children’s Safe Harbor marked its 15th year of honoring children saved from abuse by planting symbolic pinwheels across multiple counties — expanding its annual tradition to four separate locations for the first time.
