Facility will serve local youth in foster care, bring new jobs to DFPS Region 2
WICHITA FALLS, Texas – On Monday, Sept. 12, Texas Family Initiative (TFI) will begin construction on TFI Blue Skies, a new residential child care facility, in Wichita Falls, TX.
The facility, which will serve high-needs youth in out-of-home care in DFPS Region 2, is set to open its doors Spring 2023. Additionally, this new facility will also deliver many great high-level career opportunities to the Wichita Falls area. TFI anticipates employing approximately 30-40 staff at this facility.
“TFI Blue Skies will serve as a much-needed resource for local children in need,” said TFI Chief of Staff Angela L. Nowell. “At this facility we will provide a safe, therapeutic environment to help these kids flourish and grow.”
TFI is currently running a capital campaign to raise funds for the renovations of TFI Blue Skies. TFI’s goal is to inspire community support of $2 million to go towards this facility.
