Our Mission

Our mission is to administer public assistance programs, provide services and resources for individuals and families in order to obtain self sufficiency and ensure their well being.

Child Care

A child care subsidy is provided to employed parents who meet program and income eligibility. Parents must use a regulated provider and receive an authorization for reimbursement.
