Congratulating the Houston Area Women's Center on the opening of the first phase of its new client services facility.
This is a ceremonial resolution, not a legislative bill with policy changes. HR 857 formally congratulates the Houston Area Women's Center (HAWC) on opening the first phase of its new facility, "One Safe Place Houston," on March 25, 2025. It recognizes HAWC's 48-year work providing crisis intervention, shelter, and support services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. The resolution has no legal effect or funding provisions - it simply expresses the Texas House of Representatives' support through a formal statement.
