Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Human Resources Code relating to mental health and preventive services programs for veterans' and military families. The bill would require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to implement a new, statewide preventive services pilot program, and to coordinate the program with community-based organizations and local community collaboration committees. The bill would also amend the Government Code to require the Veterans Commission (TVC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to coordinate administration of veterans mental health programs.
Methodology
DFPS would implement the pilot program for 1,446 families in three areas: El Paso (376 families), Killeen (609) and San Antonio (461). The number of families represents 3 percent of total sponsors in the above locations. Services in fiscal year 2016 would begin after six months of program development. For fiscal year 2017 through fiscal year 2020, DFPS estimates an average yearly cost per family of $1,666 (1,446 families x $1,666 = $2.4 million). Total costs to General Revenue Funds would be $1,205,964 in fiscal year 2016, and $2,409,036 in fiscal year 2017 through fiscal year 2020. TVC and DSHS indicate that costs to these agencies could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
