About this Guide
The Northwest Hennepin County Guide to Human Services provides a broad array of information about agencies and
services that will help connect people to community resources. The tenth edition of the Guide has been produced by
Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council.
NORTHWEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL
Our Mission
The Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council was established in 1972 as a Joint Powers Agreement among cities in
Northwest Hennepin County to do regional research, planning and coordination of human services that make a difference in
the lives of area residents.
Our Beliefs
Municipalities should share the responsibility of overseeing that human service needs of residents are met.
Residents and consumers should play a critical role in defining their own needs and problems, and in
recommending appropriate solutions.
Suburban residents should have access to human services within their own communities.
Our Goals
Provide local information and connect resources
Coordinate networks of service providers
Involve residents in the planning process
Serve as a catalyst for joint endeavors
Initiate innovative, cross-cultural, multi-sector programs
2012 Programs and Networks
