Mission Statement

The County Department of Human Services is committed to implementing, coordinating and improving the system of human services through the use of federal, state and county funds. At the county level, the office serves as the grants management office through which many statewide initiatives are operationalized.

State regulations require that there be local advisory committees of providers and concerned citizens established to assist in plan development, resource allocation and program monitoring. Often through the committees and boards Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are issued by the department for a new service. The advisory bodies are listed below. Please click below for additional information:

• Human Services Advisory Council (HSAC)
• The Mental Health and Addictions Board
• Youth Services Advisory Council (YSAC)
• Professional Advisory Council of Alcohol and Drug Abuse (PACADA)

The funding streams, administered by entities and departments with whom we work, are as follows:

• NJ Department of Human Services
• NJ Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services
• NJ Division of Child Protection and Permanancy (DCP&P)
• NJ Department of Children and Families
