Introduction - 2003 CRCG Statewide Data Report
Community Resource Coordination Groups (known as CRCGs) are local
interagency groups, comprised of public and private providers and
families, who come together to develop individual service plans for
children, youth, and adults whose needs can be met only through
interagency coordination and cooperation.
The State CRCG Office merged with the Texas Integrated Funding
Initiative (TIFI) this year. The combined State TIFI/CRCG Office at the
Texas Health and Human Services Commission requests data on service
plans developed by local CRCGs for children, youth, and adults. This
report includes service plan information voluntarily submitted by local
CRCGs during calendar year 2003. Because service plan data is
voluntarily submitted by some, but not all CRCGs, the information
contained in this report may not necessarily be representative of all
CRCG service planning, however, common trends can be noted from
historical data.
History of CRCG Data Collection
- Statewide data has been collected from CRCGs serving children and
youth since 1992.
- Statewide implementation of the first online data collection system
for service plans developed for children and youth began in March 2000.
In addition to the online system, local CRCGs are able to submit service
plan data through paper forms or a spreadsheet format.
- Data is collected for service plans developed for adults through a
separate data system available through paper forms or a spreadsheet
format(2).
Current CRCG Data Collection
At the close of calendar year 2003, there were CRCGs for Children and
Youth available to all 254 counties. CRCGs serving adults continued to
develop during the year covering a total of 158 counties as of 12/31/03(3)
. Some areas expanded their current CRCG for Children and Youth to also
include adults, becoming known as a CRCG for Families (CRCGF). Other
areas developed a CRCG for Adults (CRCGA) in addition to the CRCG for
Children and Youth in the area.
As calendar year 2003 ended, there were 93 CRCGs for Children and
Youth, 52 CRCGs for Families (any age), and 26 CRCGs for Adults for a
total of 171 CRCGs across the State.
CRCGs serving children and youth submitted the following:
- 1145 initial service plan forms,
- 405 one to three month follow-up service plan forms, and
- 254 four to six month follow-up service plan forms.
CRCGs serving adult populations submitted the following:
- 142 initial service plan forms,
- 65 one to three month follow-up service plan forms, and
- 10 four to six month follow-up service plan forms.
Next Steps
- Beginning in calendar year 2004, a streamlined integrated data
collection system will be implemented, reflecting service plan and
follow-up data related to children, youth, and adults. The new data
system was field tested by a number of CRCGs during the latter part of
calendar year 2003. Once implemented statewide, local CRCGs will be able
to submit service plan and follow-up data through an integrated online
system or through paper forms. The Annual Data Report for calendar year
2004 will reflect the revised data elements and integrated format for
child, youth, and adult populations.

Footnotes:
- Through the enactment of House Bill (H.B.) 2292,
78th Legislature, the Governor and the Legislature directed Texas
health and human services agencies to consolidate organizational
structures and functions, eliminate duplicative administrative
systems, and streamline processes and procedures that guide the
delivery of health and human services to Texans. Twelve agencies are
being blended to create four departments under the direction of the
Health and Human Services Commission. The agencies within the health
and human services enterprise will be the Department of State Health
Services (by 9/1/04), the Department of Aging and Disability Services
(by 9/1/04), the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services
(as of 3/1/04), and the Department of Family and Protective Services
(as of 3/1/04). Information reflected in this report for calendar year
2003 references the names of the partner agencies prior to completion
of the consolidation process.
- Information in this report is based on two data
collection systems, one related to CRCGs serving children and youth
and the second related to CRCGs serving adult populations.
Additionally, some information in this report is based on data
received from a field test of a streamlined integrated data collection
system to be implemented in calendar year 2004.
- Several CRCGs began serving adults during the
latter part of 2003 and had no data to submit for calendar year 2003.
- Private sector organizations may include
organizations that contract with state agencies.
