How we are accountable
The Human Services Commission is accountable, resourceful and diligent as stewards of public resources. Each year, we join local government together with local non-profits representing thousands of people. The partnership supports vital community services and leverages a multitude of resources to help those in need.
We provide accountability through monitoring and evaluation of all funded services by professional staff.
- The Human Service Fund is audited annually by an outside professional audit firm as a part of the County’s Audit. State and Federal funding agencies also perform financial and program audits annually.
- Resources for essential human services are allocated fairly and equitably through a bi-annual bidding process.
- A full 94% of financial support goes directly to helping people in crisis and preventing homelessness.
- For every dollar invested in the Human Service Fund, the agencies funded leverage an additional $4 in cash, donated goods and volunteer hours.
