County approves 2025–26 social services agreements with CCA, PD Place and SPAN
Summary
Denton County Commissioners Court unanimously approved social-services agreements with Christian Community Action (CCA), PD Place and SPAN for 2025–26; PD Place told the court it serves nearly 6,000 pediatric patients (about 90% Denton County) and highlighted growing mental-health and food insecurity among families.
Denton County Commissioners Court on Nov. 18 approved the county’s 2025–26 social services agreements with Christian Community Action (CCA), PD Place and SPAN, saying the contracts will sustain counseling, primary pediatric health care, meals-on-wheels and other supportive services across the county.
Daphne Houston, director of programs at CCA, thanked the court for the grant funding and said the money allows CCA to continue supportive services, professional counseling and career programs. A PD Place representative told the court the clinic provides primary pediatric health care to nearly 6,000 children across North Texas, about 90% of whom live in Denton County; the speaker said about one-third of PD Place patients come from families reporting food insecurity and said the funding will be used for sick care, preventive care and mental-health services.
Michelle, representing SPAN Meals on Wheels of Denton County, described 51 years of service delivering weekday meals and volunteer visits to homebound seniors and said the county support helps sustain the program as community needs grow.
Commissioners praised the organizations and approved the agreements by unanimous voice vote. Judge Eads encouraged members of the public to support local charities during the holiday season and recognized the volunteer efforts of the nonprofit staff and donors.
Why it matters: These agreements fund services that county officials said directly support vulnerable residents — children facing food insecurity, homebound seniors, and families seeking counseling or housing support.
Next steps: County staff will execute the agreements and disburse funds according to the contract terms; nonprofit leaders said they will continue program delivery and local partnerships.
