Background and Discussion:
This grant funding will be used to support the Child Protective Services Prevention and Rehabilitation Court (hereby known as CPRC). This program is designed to serve children, parents and families involved in the child welfare system due to substance use as a contributing factor to child abuse and/or neglect. The goal of the program is to serve up to 15 families and 25 delinquent youth. Currently, there is no operational specialty court in Harris County serving families, children or youth in either Temporary Managing Conservatorship (TMC), Permanent Managing Conservatorship (PMC) or Participation in Services (PIS) status identified as having drug and alcohol use or dependency.
