SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recipient: Every Body Texas, Austin, TX.
Purpose of the Award: The purpose of this award is to address the
anticipated need for family planning services across the state of Texas
in response to TX SB8. With this funding, Every Body Texas will expand
the provision of emergency contraception and other family planning
services to clients across the state of Texas through their existing
Title X network.
Amount of Award: $750,000.
Project Period: The project period for the supplemental award will
not exceed the recipient's current project period, which is scheduled
to end on March 31, 2022.
OPA currently provides $15,820,000 in Title X funding to Every Body
Texas. With their Title X funding, Every Body Texas provides Title X
family planning services across Texas through a network of 36
subrecipients and 192 service sites. In 2019, Every Body Texas provided
family planning services to 176,697 clients across the State of Texas.
Supplemental funding will enable Every Body Texas to expand
provision of emergency contraception and other family planning services
to clients across the state of Texas through their existing Title X
network, in response to TX SB8. Title X family planning services are
services that assist in preventing or achieving pregnancy. Title X
clinics must provide a broad range of acceptable and effective family
planning methods and services, including: Contraceptive education,
counseling, and methods (includes hormonal methods; fertility
awareness-based methods; barrier methods; abstinence; and/or permanent
sterilization); services centered around pre-conception health and
achieving pregnancy (includes infertility services; STI prevention,
education, screening, and treatment; HIV testing and referral); and
pregnancy diagnosis and counseling. The broad range of family planning
services does not include abortion as a method of family planning.
This award is being made non-competitively because Every Body Texas
is the only existing Title X grantee providing services across the
entire state of Texas. Issuing a single-source supplemental award to
Every Body Texas would expand services across the entire state.
