Background and Discussion:

This temporary transfer is essential to provide uninterrupted services such as the utilization of a youth advisory committee, youth leadership development, post-high school readiness activities, and information and referral services. These services will be offered during the after-school hours on weekends and during the summer for students who live in or attend schools in the Gulfton and Pasadena areas.

 

This is a new contract for the continuation of the services that Harris County Resources for Children and Adults has managed for more than 20 years. During this funding cycle, Harris County Resources for Children and Adults TRIAD Prevention Program will continue facilitating and managing all aspects of the procurement process for the services being rendered. These activities include the procurement of subcontractors, manage/coordinate the resultant subcontracts with service providers, managing all fiscal and service aspects of the contract, and providing oversight for the entire program.
