The Human Services Committee (HSC) was established by resolution in 2012 to assess and advocate for human service needs, coordinate resources to maximize cost-effectiveness, evaluate local human services programs, and provide technical assistance to programs. The responsibilities of the committee include oversight of the Human Services Fund, review of applications for the fund, making funding recommendations, and ensuring access to services for individuals who reside in Santa Fe.
