CENTRAL TX HOSPITALITY HOUSE
Central Texas Hospitality House
What is the Central Texas Hospitality House (CTHH)?
According to the dictionary, hospitality is where kindness and generosity are shown to guests or strangers. The CTHH is a place where caring people reach out to the family and friends of incarcerated individuals. Our desire is to do exactly as our name implies; we want to show kindness and generosity to those who have been separated from their loved ones.
The CTHH is located at 708 Hwy 36 West in Gatesville. (Click here for location on Google maps. It is a multi-unit facility including private bedrooms and community showers/restrooms which allow families to stay overnight. Additionally, there is a large gathering area, as well as indoor and outdoor children’s play areas. All of this is offered at no charge to our guests.
In addition to shelter, we offer a comfortable environment, a listening ear, refreshments, games for the children, and a pleasant place to be while waiting for visitation times at the correctional facility.
What are our primary objectives?
-
- To provide food and shelter in a friendly, caring environment for family members who are financially unable to secure motel rooms as they come to visit inmates.
- To provide a safe area with games and activities for children while waiting for visitation opportunities at the prison.
- To stand with families as they deal with the realities of stress, anger, rejection, and bitterness associated with having a family member who is incarcerated.
