Human Services Cabinet

Purpose

The overarching goal is to foster an alignment of strategies and resources among myriad entities serving the community. The Human Services Cabinet for the city of Richmond is comprised of the local subject matter experts on food, shelter, public safety, health, behavioral health, employment, transportation, older adults, multicultural population, persons with sensory and physical disabilities, education, early childhood, volunteers, nonprofit organizations, and mechanisms that can leverage donations of time, money and the human need to connect.  

It is critical that accurate information is used when decisions are made regarding strategies to mobilize resources and people.

Each Cabinet Subject Matter Expert is considered the authoritative voice in Richmond on this topic.
 

Questions?

Questions from the community to the Human Services Cabinet should be directed to the DCAO for Human Services.  The DCAO is the point person for the Cabinet. The Human Services Subject Matter Experts have their own organizations and crisis lines, and can be contacted for the specific questions from citizens. This Cabinet is a collaborative of city and community backbone organizations working on specific issues about how to move the community forward and solve and longstanding challenges.
