At the direction of the Texas Legislature, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin are conducting an evaluation of efforts by Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs of the Texas Department of Commerce (Commerce) to coordinate with the Texas Department of Human Services (DHS) and other agencies in delivering employment and training services to Aid For Dependent Children (AFDC) caretakers during the period from 1985 to 1989. This evaluation will provide recommendations for enhanced program design and improved coordination between OHS, Commerce and other agencies implementing the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) program in Texas. Research findings will be presented in a series of three interim reports with a final project report scheduled for completion in August 1991. This is the first of the interim reports and presents preliminary findings on coordination initiatives at the state level and also those observed at the local level during site visits. ; Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resources

In 1989, during and in preparation for the 71st regular session of the Texas Legislature, oversight hearings were conducted to examine the performance of and coordination among various welfare-to-work programs at the state and local level. Ultimately, the Legislature directed the Texas Department of Commerce--the state Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) entity--to contract with the University of Texas at Austin for an evaluation of public and private coordination efforts affecting the delivery of training and related services to Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients, especially those targeted for service under the new Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) program. The evaluation began in October 1989. ; Texas Department of Commerce ; Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resources

The Center for the Study of Human Resources (Center), a research facility of the LBJ School of Public Affairs of the University of Texas at Austin, was requested by the Texas Department of Health (TDH) to assist in planning and evaluation activities associated with the delivery of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) services in Texas. The long-term goal of these activities, initiated in response to language contained in the federal Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act of 1990 (CARE Act) and existing state legislation, focused on developing and implementing an evaluation of the cost effectiveness of services delivered to individuals with HIV disease through programs administered by TDH and funded with state and federal monies. The more immediate purpose of this report is to provide a baseline description of the emergent HIV service delivery system in Texas. ; Texas Department of Health ; Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resources
