Background and Discussion:
On July 20, 2021, the Harris County Commissioners Court unanimously passed a resolution to create the countywide initiative Accessing Coordinated Care and Empowering Self Sufficiency Harris County (ACCESS Harris County) as part of its overall strategic priorities to strengthen service delivery to support the County’s most vulnerable, high needs residents to achieve self-sufficiency, recovery, and well-being. The initiative will achieve this objective by identifying vulnerable county residents who are experiencing a myriad of challenges related to social, economic, health and behavioral health, substance use, unemployment, community/individual violence issues, and criminal justice involvement and will work to provide the help they need. ACCESS Harris County is an integrated, care-coordination model that works across County safety net departments and community-based organizations to establish multidisciplinary or care coordination teams. These teams are designed to deliver coordinated and integrated services across systems and programs that focus on supporting a client holistically, addressing multiple needs that ensure better outcomes and greater stability.
Expected Impact:
This will allow the Community Supervision Officer- Adult Advocate to work with internal staff, community resources, and outside agencies to develop and implement an informed supervision plan; identify appropriate rehabilitative services; and respond to participant inquiries. The Adult Advocate supervises assigned clients to ensure compliance with court-ordered conditions and develops individualized supervision/case plans with the care coordination team.
