Special Panel Urges Consolidation of Elderly Programs in Texas
A Texas Special Committee on the Delivery of Human Services recommends folding Governor's Committee on Aging and Department of Human Resources programs for the elderly into the Human Resources agency. The panel favors centralized administration to avoid turf battles and to keep services from competing with programs for children. Some members caution against creating a separate aging department, while others want guidelines to identify applicants who can stay at home with appropriate services.
