The Children's Shelter is a privately run, nationally accredited nonprofit based in San Antonio, Texas, with a long history of serving child survivors of abuse and neglect since 1901. It provides a continuum of trauma-informed care through a family of services, including emergency shelter and residential treatment for children in crisis, foster care and adoption, family-strengthening programs, and an outpatient mental health clinic offering trauma-sensitive therapy. The organization is trauma-informed care certified and serves more than 4,500 children and families each year in San Antonio and Bexar County. It operates in the Individual and Family Services sector and functions as a mid-sized provider focused on stabilizing vulnerable children and supporting families toward safety and permanency through shelter, treatment, foster care, and adoption. In 2022, leadership changed when the President and CEO announced resignation as the board pursued organizational transformation.
