Harris County seeks to renew a $104,000 agreement with UTHealth Houston to provide psychiatric care for children in the child welfare system.
Harris County Commissioners Court is reviewing a one-year renewal of an agreement with UTHealth Houston to provide psychiatric services for children in the child welfare system. UTHealth psychiatrists offer evaluations, medication management, and therapy at the Integrated Health Services Clinic in southwest Houston, which serves kids in Child Protective Services custody or staying at the Kinder Emergency Shelter. The agreement runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 and costs $104,000.
Harris County spends $104,000 on psychiatric care for children in CPS custody or the Kinder Emergency Shelter. Neighbors whose taxes fund Harris County services may want to know how that money is being used.
