In an effort to be more cost-effective and streamline several critical services, county commissioners approved the merger of the Washoe County Departments of Social and Senior Services into one, unified agency called the Washoe County Human Services Agency. HSA provides services to children, adults and senior citizens. Services offered to Washoe County’s most vulnerable populations will be seamless, whether the need be shelter, nutrition, case management, medical, legal, counseling or other supportive services. Washoe County Commission Chairman Bob Lucey says the merger supports the Commission’s goal to provide a safe, secure and healthy community for all of our citizens and in this case, especially our most vulnerable.
