Description:
We actively assist County residents with linkages to appropriate service providers who can address their needs. We also provide education and information regarding available community resources and will assist those in need with negotiating the social and human service delivery system when necessary. The Ocean County Department of Human Services coordinates human service planning efforts and facilitates implementation of Federal, State, and local programming to meet the diverse needs of individuals, families and organizations in the community. The Department is comprised of the Human Services Advisory Council, the Mental Health Board, the Office for Individuals with Disabilities, the Advisory Commission on the Status of Women, the Workforce Development Board, and Children's Interagency Coordinating Council.
