The Michigan County Social Services
Association is a statewide organization whose members are county
Department of Human Services board members, directors, district
managers, and supervisors from all 83 counties. MCSSA represents
community social and economic concerns, advocates on social services
issues, represents the front-line DHS services delivery perspective, and
advocates for DHS client populations.
Our Mission

the development and implementation of Michigan’s human services system requires active
participation of local citizen boards and members of the human services delivery systems
in order to ensure efficient management of resources. It is our role to advocate at the
local, state and national level by promoting social policies as defined by the membership.
The mission of MCSSA is to serve Michigan

 |
advocating for humane and effective human services systems |
