The project will establish a centralized single point of access to behavioral health services in rural Travis County, strengthen cross-system partnerships, and expand high-fidelity wraparound services in Lago Vista, Leander, and Jonestown. Over four years, the initiative will serve 395 children, youth, and young adults with or at risk for serious emotional disturbance by improving care coordination, outreach, screening, and referrals while reducing barriers to timely services. The family-driven, youth-guided approach will strengthen system collaboration and improve outcomes for youth with complex behavioral health needs.

The period of performance runs from September 30, 2026, through September 30, 2030, with place of performance in Austin, Texas.
