On July 9, 2026, Harris County Commissioners Court will vote on whether to accept $367,620 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the Healthy Start Initiative Grant. Healthy Start is a free, voluntary federal program run locally by Harris County Public Health. It works to lower infant mortality and close racial and geographic gaps in maternal and infant health by supporting high-risk families before, during, and after pregnancy. No local matching funds are required.
Harris County Public Health would receive federal grant money to run a program focused on maternal and infant health. Neighbors near participating service areas may see changes in available health services for pregnant women and new families.
