Previous Years' Reports
The Human Service Fund (HSF) is a pool of general tax dollars from local municipalities and County government that invest their support in area non-profit agency programs that help avoid, defer, or reduce costs that would otherwise be incurred by city or County governments. Initiated by County Commissioners in 1980, cities joined the partnership in 1990. In 2024, $434,690 was awarded to 22 programs that promote self-sufficiency and build well-being for Johnson County residents. During 2023, HSF grantees provided over 175,000 units of service – including medical and dental appointments, nights of shelter, job training and more – to over 58,000 Johnson County residents. UCS provides local governments with a structured accountable system through which non-profit agencies competitively apply for and access funds to serve Johnson County residents.
