Human Services Coalition

The mission of the Human Services Coalition is to enhance the delivery of health and human services in the Tompkins County area. Human Services Planning encourages cooperation among providers to develop well-organized service delivery systems and provides links to local, regional, and national decision-makers. It convenes the Homeless & Housing Task Force, the Continuum of Care, and monthly Human Services Forums. The Health Planning Council conducts community health planning, promotes the development of needed health services and resources, increases access to health care services, and encourages the integration of the various components into a functioning system. 2-1-1 Tompkins/Cortland – Information and Referral (2-1-1) connects people in need with services designed to address that need by providing a central telephone information service, chat line, and maintaining a data base of community information.
