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.
