What is the Purpose of the Human Services Collaborative Body (HSCB)?

The Livingston HSCB started in 1989 and was officially recognized as the county Multi-Purpose Collaborative Body by the state and county Board of Commissioners in 1995. Now, referred to as Community Collaboratives by the state, the HSCB is comprised of 26 appointed members that work together to coordinate health and human services across systems. The HSCB also:

• Develops strategies and programs to meet current and future needs.

• Fiscally manages state- funded collaborative initiatives.

• Monitors the effectiveness and efficiency of collaborative projects.

The HSCB does this work through established committees and workgroups which have specific goals and objectives to complete. The HSCB and most workgroups meet monthly and consist of representatives from public and non-profit organizations, business, and interested residents of the county.
