The Texas Alcoholism Foundation has operated The Texas House men’s residential drug and alcohol recovery center since 1965. As an important part of the program the clients find meaningful employment as they begin to enjoy a sober lifestyle. In the early part of the Texas House year-long program they participate in the Texas Works Wonders program where government contracts are set-aside for persons with disabilities. Certainly alcoholism qualifies as a disability. The Texas House provides transportation, equipment and tools for this work but has been stretched to find space on campus for the needed resources.

Coastal Steel Structures has generously helped to locate an economical maintenance and storage building to be built on an adjacent property. This exciting expansion project will be an attractive addition to the campus and will offer practical support to the men as they begin to put their lives back together. It has become clear throughout the time leading up to ground-breaking that Coastal’s knowledgeable staff sees our project as more than just another sale. We appreciate all they have done to make this become a reality.
