Background and Discussion: 

Due to a reduction in the General Fund (1000) budget, Public Health Services requests to transition four positions within the Behavioral Health Services Program in the Community Health and Wellness Division to Charity Care (2117). This transition is necessary to maintain the continuity of behavioral health services and support the program's ongoing needs.

 

Expected Impact:

This item will have a financial impact of $132,701 in FY25 and an annualized impact of $149,385. The increase in personnel expenses will be covered by existing special revenue funds. These positions will support Public Health Services' ongoing efforts in providing behavioral health services to Harris County community members.
