Human Services Funding
Northfield Township’s Human Services Funding program provides direct financial support to a wide range of not-for-profit social service organizations which serve Township residents. The Human Services Review Commission (HSRC), composed of a team of volunteer community members, oversees the evaluation process and makes funding recommendations to the Northfield Township Board of Trustees. After recommendations are presented, the Township Board awards financial support to essential human service programs.
These social service organizations provide specialized professional services for families, youths, seniors, and residents with disabilities and mental health challenges. The assistance these programs provide to residents is crucial. The Human Services Funding program helps to ensure those who need these services have access to them.
