Office of Multicultural Services

Staff help connect limited English proficiency residents to county and partner services in their preferred language. They also work with service providers throughout the community and build relationships with people the county serves. Walk-in services will not be available until 2022. 

Human services

Human services staff connect residents to services that help with basic needs and improve safety, stability, self-sufficiency and well-being. The new model is based on providing information and increased options for access, including on-site appointments, community access points, and phone and internet access that will be available onsite at the human service center. For best results, residents should connect with staff before visiting a site because in many cases they can access everything they need from wherever they are.
