Human Services Committee

Vision 

  • Human Services are supportive, developmental or educational services provided to the public that are designed to enhance the quality of life and well-being of people and communities.  Such services are an essential component of the region and an integral part of regional planning. 

  • Needs addressed by Human Services include, but are not limited to: personal health (both physical and mental), social relations, and maintaining or growing personal or community capacity (such as child care, education, disabilities, aging, etc).

Committee Charge 

The charge to the CMAP human services committee is to provide advisory input to the CMAP board on proposed regional plans, projects, and policies by:

  • Providing the Board with guidance that conveys a Human Services based perspective,
  • Providing Human Services expertise and input to conduct effective land use and transportation planning, and
  • Prioritize Human Services-related projects, identify and understand regional needs, challenges and solutions.
