Background and Discussion:
HCRCA provides Residential Child Care Services through the Harris County Youth Shelter to youth aged 12-17 in compliance with Licensing Regulations as outlined by Texas Health and Human Services Commission. This contract will allow Harris County Youth Shelter to provide these services to youth in the conservatorship of Texas Department of Family and Protective Services who are also served by Texans Together as the community-based care single source continuum contractor within DFPS Community-Based Care Regions 6a and 6b.
