Women's Health and Family Planning Association of Texas dba Every Body Texas: Texas Title X Project - As the statewide Title X grantee for the state of Texas since 2013, the Women’s Health and Family Planning Association of Texas dba Every Body Texas (EBTX) is submitting a Title X Family Planning Services grant application for a period of 5 years to continue covering the state of Texas with a proposed network of 35 sub-recipients who will provide comprehensive Title X-funded family planning services at 169 service sites, serving 179,000 clients in Year 1 of the project. The proposed network for Year 1 includes a diverse array of providers, including 11 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs); 2 hospital and university systems; 8 public health entities; and 8 non-profit Family Planning Health Centers, 4 STI Specialty clinics, 1 University Based provider, and 3 Community Based Partners. By the end of the project period, EBXT will increase the number of sub-recipients to 59 consisting of 249 services sites. The full proposed network will cover 100% of the counties in Texas and will serve a total of 297,011 clients annually by the end of the project period, an increase of 56% over 2021-2022. EBTX is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that contracts with sub-recipients to provide high-quality, affordable family planning and preventive health services. Through a responsive and collaborative approach to sub-contracting Title X services, EBTX has revitalized a formerly fragmented network of family planning providers to nearly double the number of clients served annually—from approximately 90,000 in 2013-2014 to over 179,000 in 2021-2022. EBTX has consistently made rapid and effective use of Title X dollars, with an emphasis on services for low-income individuals. In the proposed project period, EBTX will continue to increase the number of low-income Texans who receive high-quality family planning and related services through the following strategies: 1) EBXT will sub-contract with agencies which serve a high volume of low-income clients, and which are located in areas of significant need for publicly-funded family planning services. 2) Increase access to core family planning and related health services, specifically in areas of Texas experiencing rapid population growth and demonstrating a high need for family planning services by contracting with sub-recipients in areas with high need and by utilizing innovative service delivery strategies. 3) EBTX will launch Communities of Practice to support sub-recipient identified goals for ensuring the provision of accessible, equitable, high-quality family planning services. 4) EBTX will recruit sub-recipients to participate in a special project to promote person-centered care. With EBTX’s support each sub-recipient will develop goals and strategies for advancing health equity in the communities they serve. EBTX will support sub-recipient in monitoring outcomes. EBTX will maintain a responsive and flexible administrative structure to effectively respond to the needs of a large and rapidly growing state, along with remaining responsive to the needs of family planning providers in Texas. EBTX will allocate dollars through clear, transparent means and will maintain sophisticated performance measurement and monitoring systems to ensure that Title X funds achieve their maximum possible return on investment in Texas.
