Message from the Director
The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders established the Monmouth County Department of Human Services in 1987. It reflects a long standing commitment by the Board of Chosen Freeholders to address the needs of our most vulnerable citizens and those of us who may be struggling with an unexpected event and don't know where to turn. Over 137,000 Monmouth County residents receive one or more services from our department each year.
It is the mission of the Monmouth County Department of Human Services to enhance the quality of life of people in Monmouth County through the planning, purchasing and delivery of human services by highly effective employees in partnership with public and private organizations. We are committed to providing service with respect, care and accountability.
The Department consists of seven (7) divisions. They are: the Division on Aging, Disabilities & Veterans Interment Affairs, Division of Mental Health & Addiction Services, Division of Employment & Training, Division of Planning & Contracting, Division of Social Services, Division of Transportation and the Office of the County Adjuster. In addition the Division of Planning & Contracting encompasses three functions: Contract Administration, Human Services Advisory Council, and Office of Youth Services Planning.
Freeholder Barbara J. McMorrow oversees this department. The Department is directly accountable to the Deputy County Administrator and County Administrator.
