2006 Public Human Services Directory
The 2006 Public Human Services Directory is your state-by-state guide to people, programs, and a must-have for all human service professionals. Backed by APHSA, the Directory has consistently helped steer people to the right people for more than 75 years, connecting you to the people, agencies, and programs you need to do your job. Researched, updated contacts for 40 major program and policy areas, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Medicaid/Health, Child Care, Long-Term Care, Mental Health, and Child Welfare are available at a glance. Each directory includes a concise overview of each state agency’s organizational structure. Carefully compiled by APHSA staff and verified by each agency, it’s easy to find out if a state’s human service programs are locally or state administered. Beginning in January 2006, Internet access will be expanded to include state program listings in addition to the local agencies already online. Access to the online listings is available at no additional charge with each paid subscription.
