What is the Human Services Commission?
The Human Services Commission (HSC) was established to give local control of state funding for families with children ages 0-18. The HSC does not create new governmental bodies; it increases the efficiency of existing bodies. The HSC forges alliances, creates shared visions and mobilizes resources to serve families whose needs are now met by multiple agencies.
 
The Human Services Commission assists families in accessing services to help make them healthy, productive, and contributing members of the community.
