Non-Educational Community-Based (NECB) Support Services
Non-educational community-based (NECB) support services funding was appropriated by the Texas Legislature for families of certain students with disabilities. NECB funds help them care for their children and help them better cope with having an individual with a disability at home.
The funds may be used only for eligible students with disabilities who would remain or would have to be placed in residential facilities primarily for educational reasons without the provision of non-educational community-based support services. These funds are used for noneducational support services in the home and allow a student currently in a residential placement for educational purposes to return home or prevent a student at risk for residential placement for educational purposes from being placed residentially.
The NECB Support Services Grant is administered by Region 10 Educational Service Center.
Parents wishing to access services should contact their child’s school and request a meeting to discuss the need for non-educational services. Funds are applied for by the Local Education Agency (LEA) on behalf of the student/family. An LEA is the local school district/public charter school. The program year runs from 9/1/24-8/31/25.
Additional information can be found on Region 10's website.
