The Public Benefits Hub is a project that aims to stop Harris County households from slipping further into poverty and boost their economic stability. The PBH makes it easier for families to obtain assistance by providing the technical tools and collaborative processes needed to determine their eligibility for various benefits quickly. Unlock Your Benefits TX is a pilot program with the goal of building and testing initial technical infrastructure for the Public Benefits Hub. In partnership with select social service agencies, the pilot will increase access to public benefits in targeted areas and build housing and economic stability for participating families.
