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 Research and Planning Citizens Advisory Commission (appointed by member cities) Emergency Services Program Providers Network Emergency Services Program Executive Directors Network Homeless Management Information Systems Northwest Hennepin Early Childhood Network Senior Leadership Committee Joint Community Police Partnership and Multicultural Advisory Committee Domestic Violence Prevention Network Healthy Together Northwest Updates, Additions and Comments Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council has made every effort to be as thorough and accurate as possible.
