Miami-Dade County - Community Action and Human Services
Where am I? »

Welcome to Human Services

Miami-Dade County's Community Action and Human Services department provides comprehensive countywide social and human services to the residents of Miami-Dade County. It has a long tradition of caring for the needs of its citizens, and is accredited by both the American Psychological Association and the Council of Accreditation for best practices.   

DHS and CAA are being consolidated

Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez recently announced his plan to reduce the number of County departments.

“The Community Action and Human Services Department combines the Community Action Agency and the Department of Human Services. The combination of these departments will streamline the delivery of resources to targeted communities including children, seniors and families through advocacy, education and service delivery."
