What is ACCESS Harris County?
Accessing Coordinated Care and Empowering Self-Sufficiency (ACCESS) Harris County, is an integrated care-coordination model that works to improve outcomes for vulnerable individuals through a multi-interdepartmental disciplinary team or care coordination team.

ACCESS will initially focus on the following populations:
- Violence Prevention
