Furniture for Individuals

Furniture Assistance

The Furniture Bank is a charitable organization that provides Furniture Assistance services to families and individuals through our partner social service and charitable organizations. The Furniture Bank does not provide services directly.

If you are in need of furniture, please speak with your caseworker. If you do not have a caseworker, we encourage you to seek out an area agency or charitable organization that can take your case. Each agency has its own process for accepting new clients and assessing their unmet needs. Agencies that accept referrals are listed below.

Purchase Affordable Furniture

If you would like to purchase furniture, you can visit the Furniture Resale Outlet Store at The Furniture Bank. The Furniture Outlet sells high-quality, new and used furniture to the public at reduced prices, with all proceeds going to support our mission of Making Empty Houses Homes.

Please keep in mind that the Furniture Outlet is not a thrift store, and while prices are very reduced and affordable, they may be higher than what one might find at Goodwill or Salvation Army.

Muebles para Individuos

Asistencia

El Banco de Muebles de Houston es una caridad que provee asistencia a familias e individuos a través de nuestras agencias socias, que son organizaciones de caridad. El Banco de Muebles de Houston no ayuda directamente a los individuos, sino que actúa como proveedor de servicios a estas agencias que trabajan con sus clientes.

Si usted está en necesidad de muebles, por favor hable con su asistente social. Si no tiene uno, le recomendamos buscar una agencia u organización que pueda encargarse de sus necesidades de abastecimiento. Cada agencia tiene su propio proceso para aceptar clientes nuevos y evaluar sus necesidades. A continuación se listan las agencias que aceptan referencias en ciertos casos. Puede llamar a estos números y explicarles sus necesidades.

Comprar Muebles Económicos

Si le gustaría comprar muebles, puede visitar el Furniture Outlet at The Furniture Bank. El Outlet vende muebles de alta calidad a precios reducidos con todas las ganancias apoyando nuestra misión de “Hacer Hogares Casas Vacías.”

Por favor tenga en cuenta que el Outlet no es una tienda thrift y, mientras los precios estén muy reducidos y económicos, puede que sean más altos que en Goodwill o Salvation Army.

Furniture Assistance Partners

The following agencies accept referrals, under specific circumstances. When reaching out to a Partner Agency:

  • Let them know your needs.
  • Ask if they are accepting new clients.
  • Determine if you meet their requirements.

Be kind to our partners. They work tirelessly to help as many as they can.

Families With Children In School

If you have children in school and are in need of Furniture Assistance, check to see if your school has a CIS or CYS caseworker. Please be aware that these agencies have limited capacity and work hard to help as many families as they can with their resources.
