APS 4.2 Services Provided by Service Types, Demographics and Region FY2015-2024

APS may provide non-purchased services or purchased services. The chart compares these two types of services. Non-purchased services can include services provided directly by APS staff or services provided by other entities, including social casework, legal actions, or services provided by other government agencies or community organizations. APS may purchase services for clients using Purchased Client Services (PCS) funds. Purchased services may include short-term shelter, food, medication, health services, financial help with rent or utilities, transportation, and minor home repair. All other available resources must be used where feasible before purchased client services are initiated. Visit dfps.state.tx.us for information on all DFPS programs.
