BETWEEN 1996-2001Mike and June Jones explored many programs across the country for their daughter. They could not find anything to meet her needs so they founded Home Place of Texas in 2002 as a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation. To meet the unique needs of their daughter, the Jones established a Community Bible Study in 2002, Residential Program from 2007-2019, and Day Habilitation Program in 2008 located in Spring, Texas.

Our PLANResearch shows an enormous lack of continuing secondary education opportunities for graduates with special needs. Therefore, Home Place’s master plan calls for a comprehensive life experience that includes education, socialization, employment, support, and spiritual growth. Throughout June's 36 years of experience, she and Mike have specifically designed Home Place for higher functioning adults with special needs.

I started working at Home Place in 2018. In December of 2020, we adopted our son, Julian and I chose to stay home with him full-time. I was so glad to return to work in August of 2022. I received my Masters degree in Speech Pathology from Nazareth College of Rochester, New York. When I’m not at Home Place, I enjoy being Julian’s adventure buddy, teaching ESL classes at my church and cooking for my family and friends. My favorite thing about Home Place is the relationships we build with each person who attends. I enjoy getting to know them and how they learn best. One fun fact about me is I have four children and there are 24 years between the oldest and the youngest!
