The mission of the Human Services Division is to provide a crucial safety net for members of our community most in need of help.

The City of Beverly Hills' General Plan (PDF) identifies the following four priorities for the Human Services Division: 

• Social Services Safety Net
• Continue to prevent crises through referrals to benefits advocacy, legal assistance, and services that address food, shelter, health maintenance and transportation. Click here to learn about Human Services' Community Partners.
• Elderly Assistance/Education
• Provide educational and human services to the City's active and frail elderly residents to maintain and improve their quality of life, personal growth and enrichment. Click here to learn about Human Services' Community Partners.
• Diversity Awareness/Education
• Maintain a sense of community and increase public awareness of and respect for the cultural diversity of the City.  Promote a positive social environment between the members of individual neighborhoods and the community at large. Click here to learn about the Human Relations Commission's work in this area, supported by the Human Services Division.
• Regional Social Responsibility
• Collaborate with other communities to develop programs, resources and outreach for the prevention and intervention for emerging local and regional issues such as homelessness. Learn about the City's efforts to address homelessness with the Changing Lives and Sharing Places (CLASP) Team.
