Request for approval to spend up to $40,000 during FY 25 for the care of wards who currently receive no benefits from Social Security or other sources.
end
Background and Discussion:
Wards are assigned to the Harris County Guardianship program by the probate courts. Some wards enter the program with no Social Security benefits due to the lack of verifiable identity.
Once these issues are resolved, any income received on behalf of the ward will be used to reimburse the
general fund for amounts utilized for the ward's care. HCRCA also requests that the HCRCA Guardianship bank account be reimbursed from these authorized funds as required for the 2025 fiscal year.
Expected Impact: The funds for this request are currently budgeted in general funds.
Alternative Options: There are no other viable alternatives to this request since the wards are assigned to
Guardianship by the probate courts.
