T. Don Hutto Family Residential Facility

About our facility

The T. Don Hutto Residential Center is one of two facilities in the nation to house detainee families. In support of the Secure Border Initiative, the family residential concept allows families to remain together while awaiting the outcome of their immigration proceedings. Opened in May of 2006, the 512 bed facility has been remodeled to accommodate the needs of family units in a non-secure detention setting. The resident population can range in age from newborn to geriatric; therefore the spectrum of needs varies accordingly. The residential setting accommodates a seven hour school day for school aged children, a well baby program, immunization program and host of recreational and religious activities. This is a unique setting within the Division of Immigration Health Services that offers clinicians an opportunity to work with the pediatric and adult population in the context of a family unit.
