Supporting our struggling American families in Stephenville, Texas.

Our nurturing city of Stephenville has often demonstrated that we can work together and be a stronger community by helping our neighborhood members who are struggling to meet the needs of their families. 

Recent statistics by the US Census Bureau and Data USA – Erath County demonstrate:

• Disabled persons under 65 (2018) 7.4%

• Persons without health insurance (2018) 23.4%

• Persons living in poverty (2018) 15.8%

• Persons on Medicaid (2017)12.4%

• Persons on Medicare (2017) 6.2%

• Median household income (2017) 47,013

What makes American great is our belief that we can make America better. Here are the ways that Stephenville has made life better for our struggling American families:

These are just a few of the social services available. I am proud to live in a community that comes together and cooperates to make lives better for all of our populations.
