Following the division in 2016, Tara Roussett was named CEO. "We still have those core programs, but there has been significant growth over the last 9 years," Roussett said. In April 2021, SJRC Texas was awarded a contract by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) for its division, Belong, to serve as the Community-Based Care (CBC) provider for the South Central and Hill Country Region (Region 8b). Through Belong, the nonprofit supports children removed from their homes by securing safe placements, case management, reunification services, and adoption support.

Prior to 2017, DFPS was responsible for the foster care system. In 2017, it was legislatively mandated that Community-Based Care be taken over by local nonprofits in each geographic region of the state. The state is still responsible for investigations and removals, but the nonprofit contractor is responsible for placement, case management and finding permanency for each child. "Previously, children were assigned to a DFPS caseworker," Roussett said. "Now under us, we call them permanency specialists, because we are always tasked with and believe in finding permanency for children."

"If they cannot go back home to their biological family, then we look for kinship next; we want aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparents, anybody that can safely care for the child within that family unit," Roussett said. "If that is not possible, then we find permanency outside the related parties." In April 2025, SJRC Texas was awarded the DFPS contract to expand services to Bexar County (Region 8a), making Belong the Single Source Continuum Contractor (SSCC) for the entire Region 8. Belong will launch Stage I (Intake and Placement) in Fall 2025, followed by Stage II (Case Management) in Spring 2026. This expansion furthers their mission by delivering a community-based care model that drives systemic improvements, accelerates permanency, and centers around the well-being of children and families.
