What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Foster Care Program

The Foster Care Program provides children safety, nurturing, and resources to reach appropriate developmental milestones and heal the effects of trauma and neglect. Children receive direct care in trauma-informed, loving homes where we address their basic needs including healthcare, assess their developmental deficits, and follow individual plans of service. Casa de Esperanza provides foster care in either the Casa Neighborhood or in voluntary community foster homes. In both instances, foster parents are licensed, and all caregivers undergo extensive training before caring for a child. The Foster Care Program offers safety and care for children, primarily ages newborn to six years old who are at risk for abuse and neglect. Casa is one of the few child-placing agencies that accepts voluntary placements. Our primary goal is for children to thrive in a safe foster home, free from abuse and neglect, where their basic, health, emotional, and developmental needs are met.

Making a lifesaving difference for a child means making a difference for the parents, the family, and the community. Casa de Esperanza’s Family Support Services creates a continuum of care and support for birth parents while children are in placement and after families are reunified. Our goal is that caregivers have the tools they need to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing home for their children. While children are in our Foster Care program, we provide case management services for birth parents based on a customized plan developed at admission. Reunited families receive services through the Aftercare Program. While we aim to provide case management and support services to families for at least six months after discharge, our timeline is open-ended so that we can help families maintain safety and stability for the long-term.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Casa de Esperanza de los Ninos was founded in 1982 after the death of a toddler due to abuse by his mother’s new boyfriend. The mother expressed a wish that there had been a place she could have taken her son to keep him safe. For forty years Casa de Esperanza has provided safety for more than 6,500 abused, neglected and at-risk infants and young children in the greater Houston area. Casa de Esperanza focuses on children in the most vulnerable age group, newborn to six years old, who are most at-risk for abuse and neglect and cannot speak for themselves. Casa de Esperanza utilizes available community services for its clients, only developing new programs when needed services could not be found. From the first house in Houston’s Third Ward, Casa de Esperanza has grown into a trauma-informed, holistic program with a gated neighborhood of 10 homes near the Texas Medical Center and numerous community foster families, providing a comprehensive continuum of care for children and families in need.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
