What this is
County commissioners will vote on higher pay for crisis case managers and family navigators who help children and families in need.
Harris County commissioners are set to vote on pay raises for workers who help families in crisis. The proposal would give higher pay to three crisis case managers and two family navigator case managers who work for Harris County Resources for Children and Adults.
These case managers work directly with children and families facing tough situations. Crisis case managers help families during emergencies and difficult times. Family navigators help parents find the right services and support for their children. Both roles require special training and skills to support our community's most vulnerable residents.
The pay increase could help Harris County keep experienced workers in these important positions. When case managers have stable jobs with fair pay, families get better help. This means children and parents in our community can get the support they need during hard times.
The item is listed as "Agenda Ready" for the next Commissioners Court meeting. Community members can attend these meetings to learn about decisions that affect local services and programs.
Key details
- Case managers: 5 total positions
- Crisis managers: 3 positions
- Family navigators: 2 positions

How this affects households
Under $30,000
Families in this bracket are most likely to need crisis case managers and family navigators during tough times. Better paid workers means more stable help when you need it most.
$30,000-$60,000
Your family might use these services during job loss or family emergencies. Having experienced case managers available means better support when life gets hard.
$60,000-$100,000
You're less likely to need crisis services but might use family navigators for special needs support. This doesn't directly change your household budget.
Over $100,000
You rarely need county crisis services and likely use private resources instead. This policy doesn't affect your household finances.
