The DeKalb County Department of Human Services delivers essential programs and services that support residents at every stage of life, from birth through retirement. Through a coordinated network of specialized divisions, the Department addresses community needs related to aging, youth development, family support, transportation access, and partnerships that strengthen countywide services.

Together, these divisions work to expand access to critical resources, strengthen community partnerships, and provide responsive, equitable, and community-centered services to more than 30,000 DeKalb County residents each year.
