Services

Most individuals receive information and referral assistance via the telephone or the computer. Their needs may span the spectrum of human experiences from prenatal planning to financial assistance, housing, assistance for a funeral and all life moments, both major and minor, as well as in-between. Individuals speak with a trained, empathetic Human Services Resources and LINK Access coordinator, who assess their needs in a non-threatening, non-judgmental and confidential manner to help them make informed decisions about possible solutions. The Human Services Resources and LINK Access coordinator will assist those who are in urgent situations, and most significantly, advocate on behalf of those individuals who need additional support.  

Contact

There are several easy ways to contact a Human Services Resources and LINK Access coordinator to learn of the services that are available. The Human Services Administration Division takes pride in providing superior customer service to anyone seeking assistance.
