Community and Human Services Division

The Heart of Collier County

Collier County has a long history of providing services to citizens that meet family's basic needs, both health and social, when there is no other resource available to families. The Community & Human Services Division provides comprehensive services such as prescription and assistance to those in need in addition to managing affordable housing opportunities in the community. We "stretch" the service dollar to provide the most needed services to seniors and indigent residents including in-home care.
