Overview

Mission

The Human Services Chamber is a coalition of over 90 human services providers in Hamilton County, OH. HSC brings together human services providers to develop and advocate for policies that are beneficial to the human services sector and the clients they serve. Our members provide a variety of services in the community, including healthcare, child services, job training, housing and mental health treatment. HSC is the only local organization that advocates for the human services sector as a whole and that works across multiple providers and service types to solve community-wide policy issues.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education and Advocacy: HSC informs the community and policymakers about key issues involving human services in our region and advocates for public policies that allow our member agencies to effectively respond to the needs of the community. This is performed through regular communications with the public and elected officials, and in 2025 also included publishing a Voter Guide detailing responses about important issues facing the city from the candidates running for Mayor, City Council, and School Board in the City of Cincinnati. The organization also presented before Cincinnati City Council's Budget & Finance Committee on April 28th.

The verdict
