Service Providers
No single system has enough
expertise or resources to accomplish its mission
for all people. Therefore, the Department of Human
Services collaborates with community based organizations
and recommends grants totaling nearly $16 million.
The Department contracts with over 50 community-based
agencies to provide essential human services to
the county’s residents including:
- Individuals with developmental disabilities
- Victims of abuse, neglect, and abandonment
- Individuals with mental illness
- Individuals with substance abuse issues
- Individuals with physical disabilities
- Individuals or families with low income
- Individuals and families experiencing homelessness
- Single parents, at risk
- Veterans
- Juveniles/families in crisis
- Older adults
It is believed that one in nine Bergen County households benefits from at least one of the many services provided or funded by the Department of Human Services.
