About Js House Inc
J’s House is developing a 24-hour group home in northeast Houston for boys in Texas foster care who have experienced intense emotional trauma. The home will offer transitional housing, stabilization, therapeutic care, mentoring, tutoring, and the steady support of a family-like environment while children work toward long-term placement. Donor support helps build a place where healing and everyday growth can happen side by side.
J’s House focuses on boys in foster care who need more than a temporary roof, including children who have experienced intense emotional trauma, abuse, and neglect. Its planned care includes individualized child advocacy, trauma-informed treatment, education, life-skills development, and support for long-term independence, all within a 24-hour residential home.
