Purpose/Scope:

The Community Human Services Council is comprised of private and public community stakeholders. 

As State and Federal funding diminishes, services and associated costs shift to the local community. The community is faced with prioritizing services, investing in measurable outcomes and coordinating advances in technology, planning and service delivery to effectively meet service demands.  The Council assures there is a countywide strategic plan that assists in providing service coordination and resource planning.  The strategic plan will promote strengthening private and public partnerships, promote collaboration and integration of community services and strive to eliminate fragmentation of service delivery systems.

Members of the public are invited to attend, public comment will be held to three minutes.

Reasonable accommodations will be made upon request.  If you are in need of a reasonable accommodation, please contact Barbara Crist in advance of the meeting via telephone at 239-533-7929; telephone for the hearing impaired at 239-533-6540; or e-mail at cristbj@leegov.com
