The Settlement Home for Children’s 47 Annual Garage & Estate Sale was a great success and raised over $1 4 million thanks to our sponsors, shoppers and volunteers

The Sale kicked off on Wednesday, November 2 with our Preview Party Sponsors, their guests and attendees enjoyed early access to deals before doors were opened to the public. The Preview Party is a fun evening where guests have a catered dinner and complimentary drinks while they shop and mingle

As an Austin tradition, The Sale gives shoppers a unique opportunity to purchase from thousands of items at bargain prices From jewelry to tools to vintage items to children’s clothing, there is something for everyone!

This annual fundraising event is much more than a shopping experience as it has a lasting impact well beyond its date in November The proceeds generated from The Sale will support the programs and services provided to youth in foster care who reside at The Settlement Home, as well as their foster and adoptive families that provide nurturing homes to children

2022 Garage & Estate Sale Co-Chairs: Stephanie Hearne, Chyrisse Miller and Mary Helen Wheelock managed the logistics for this event starting in January to ensure that the weekend-long event went off without a hitch Their dedication made it possible for the 10,000 plus attendees to have a fun shopping experience

Located in Austin on a 10-acre campus, The Settlement Home is a licensed nonprofit that provides 24-hour care to help children in foster care access the support they need to build and preserve a stable sense of well-being

Each of The Home’s programs builds a foundation for children as they access healing for a hopeful future The skills they learn and the self-belief they build continue to develop well beyond their time in our care As adults, they have a higher chance of maintaining steady employment and stable housing, as well as lower chances of incarceration or experiencing homelessness As parents, they have the ability to build and sustain healthy relationships with their children All of the children we serve can break the cycle of abuse, and we are dedicated to supporting them as they realize the depth of their potential

Our Residential Treatment Center provides 27 beds for girls and young women ages 12–21 in a highly structured environment with 24-hour therapeutic support. While many children in foster care are in the state’s custody for basic needs, all residents at The Settlement Home for Children come to us with urgent, critical needs. Our RTC is a safe and nurturing environment that enables our residents to begin trusting the healing process.

Our Group Home Program provides 23 beds for girls and young women ages 12-21 in a home-like setting with 24-hour therapeutic support. The goal of the GHP is to create a family-like environment while giving our residents the opportunity to practice independent living skills that help them prepare for adulthood. Residents go grocery shopping together, cook at home and have independent recreation time.

Our Transitional Living Program provides 11 efficiency apartments for young women 18 and older who are not quite prepared to live on their own and therefore choose to remain in the custody of Child Protective Services. Residents in our TLP live in apartments on our campus and receive case management and therapy. These young women continue to build life skills like financial literacy and job preparedness.

Foster & Adoption Program (FAP)

Our Foster & Adoption Program works with Child Protective Services to provide either a temporary or permanent home for boys and girls of all ages who can no longer remain in their current living situation. To best support our children and families, our FAP trains foster and adoptive families in trauma-informed care, supports them through the foster and adoption process and provides post-adoptive services such as therapy and resource referrals.

Our on-campus University of Texas Charter School serves students from sixth through 12th grades and provides special education services, credit recovery and tutoring.

At The Settlement Home, we make it our priority to give the children in our care normalizing experiences. Having a magical holiday experience as a kid is normal, and we strive to give that to our residents

Please consider supporting The Settlement Home during this time. Scan to make a gift!
