The Genesee County Department of Social Services provides a wide range of financial assistance and social service programs to the needy and vulnerable citizens of our County. The Department is responsible for a significant part of the “social safety net” which insures that basic human needs will be met. Federal and state laws and regulations mandate virtually all our programs and services. Our purpose is to help people care adequately for themselves and family members with the least level of assistance and government intervention possible.
