Community Partner Program

The Community Partner Program (CPP) began in 2012 with the mission to develop and maintain a statewide network of community organizations. These organizations help Texans apply for and manage their food, cash, and health care assistance online. What is the Community Partner Program? CPP is a statewide program. It provides support to community organ... izations that partner with Texas Health and Human Services to help Texans apply for and manage their food, cash and health care assistance online. Texans can get help applying for or managing their state benefits from familiar local organizations they know and trust. Hundreds of Community Partners make up the statewide network which grows each day. Community organizations that join CPP are called Community Partners. Community Partners offer resources and information that people can use to apply for and manage their benefits on YourTexasBenefits.com. HHS trains and certifies Community Partners to provide application assistance and case management services. Families who visit local organizations such as a food bank or community health clinic can also apply for health care, food and cash assistance benefits at the same place they receive other services.Read More
