Harris County seeks to temporarily shift $54,320 in charity care funds to cover seven grant positions for family planning programs.
Harris County Public Health Services is asking Commissioners Court to temporarily move $54,320 in charity care funds to pay for seven grant positions. The funds would cover costs while the county waits to receive grant money from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the Family Planning Program and Healthy Texas Women Program. The positions would be extended through August 31, 2027.
County health department staff positions that serve residents may have a funding gap while grant money is being processed. This request decides whether those seven positions continue without interruption.
