Relating to an evaluation by the housing and health services coordination council of the 2-1-1 services provided by the Texas Information and Referral Network.

HB 2685 requires Texas' Housing and Health Services Coordination Council to annually evaluate the 2-1-1 Texas Information and Referral Network's services every even-numbered year by August 1. The evaluation must analyze user demographics, service needs, database integration with state/local resources, user satisfaction, referral outcomes, and technology improvements. It specifically aims to inform potential expansions of "service-enriched housing" (housing connecting residents to support services). The bill mandates the Texas Information and Referral Network to collaborate with the council on collecting anonymized data for this review. This is a procedural evaluation bill affecting the council, the referral network, and indirectly the public using 2-1-1 services for housing/health resources.
