Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Department of Mental Health and Mental
Retardation (MHMR) and the Department of Housing and Community Affairs
(TDHCA) to implement a program to demonstrate the effectiveness of
interagency cooperation in providing supported housing services to
individuals residing in personal care facilities.
Methodology
MHMR estimates its costs associated with this bill would be $510,000 per
year to provide support services for clients in the pilot program. MHMR
estimates that 250 persons per year would require support services at a
cost of $2,040 per person, for a total cost of $510,000 per year in
General Revenue.
TDHCA states that housing programs, specifically the HOME and Housing
Trust Fund programs, have special needs set-asides that could be used
for any housing funding related to the bill.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
