PURPOSE

The purpose of this Web Page is to provide links to each of the 18 county DFCS offices in Region XI.  Each county Web Page is maintained by the Community Resource Specialist and should contain local resource information for that county.


DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES (DHR) MISSION
To strengthen Georgia’s families – supporting their self-sufficiency and helping them protect their vulnerable children and adults by being a resource to their families, not a substitute.

 

DHR VALUES

1.   Do not accept welfare and total dependence on government for any family.

2.   Expect adults to work.

3.   Be a resource and support, not a substitute, for families.

4.   Expect every consumer to invest/participate in their own recovery.

5.   Serve people as close to home, family and community as possible.

6.   Give customers as much control over getting the information they need as technologically possible.

7.   Use data and information to help make decisions.

8.   Do not accept “business as usual” – it’s not good enough.

9.   Spend government money like it’s our own.

10.    Treat customers as if they were our own family.

11.    Make it faster, friendlier, easier for people to deal with us.

12.    Reward our workforce for performance.

13.    Deliver services as if we were not the only one who could do that work.
