Admissions Requirements & Process

South Texas Children's Home Ministries (STCHM) is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services as a General Residential Operation. Before a child can be received into care, STCHM must complete an admission assessment to determine that the needs of the child can be met here. The first step is to contact the social services department and complete the application. A caseworker will be happy to answer your questions and assist you with the application.

To be considered for placement, the child must meet the requirements listed below:

• Children living at South Texas Children’s Home Ministries must be willing to cooperate and work toward goals both at the Children’s Home and at school.

• The child’s intelligence must be within the average range. (South Texas Children’s Home Ministries may not accept a child into care whose needs can be met in a facility specializing in services to the mentally handicapped.)

• The child’s behavior must be of a controllable and manageable nature which will allow them to function within the cottage-group living situation at STCHM. (South Texas Children’s Home Ministries may not receive children who are in need of a Residential Treatment Center.)

• The child’s physical condition must be satisfactory and the child must not have any physical limitations which would prohibit STCHM programs from meeting the child’s needs.

• The child’s behavior or health may not endanger other children or themselves.

 
South Texas Children’s Home Ministries is licensed to care for children from ages 0-17 and will consider children from within Texas as limited by the program.
