Human Services provides assistance for childcare, employment, energy, food, financial, medical, mental health, and emergency/general assistance.   If you’re an older adult, veteran, or a person with a disability, there’s a program designed just for you. There are even transit programs to help you get around.  We have protective programs for adult and children.    If you need to receive or pay child support, we can help too. We have partnerships with government agencies, local non-profits, faith-based organizations, and private sector service providers. Working together, we take on the tough issues of poverty and homelessness in Douglas County.  View the Douglas County Department of Human Services Non-discrimination Notice.  You also report fraud of any of the programs by clicking here. We’ll help navigate the paperwork. Cut through red tape. And do what needs to be done to get you back on the path to self-sufficiency.
