UT Health San Antonio School of Nursing has received a $4 million, four-year Health Resources and Services Administration grant to expand health care services to foster care youth and their families.
“We developed our grant application with Texas’ new community-based model of foster care in mind,” Karen Walker Schwab said in a news release Tuesday. In Texas’ traditional foster care model, children could be placed in homes anywhere in the state. The state’s new model gives local communities more flexibility in meeting the needs of foster youth. For example, priorities include keeping foster children in their own communities, placing siblings together in the same home and having children attend their same schools to promote stability and maintain each child’s support system.
