About the Human Services Development Fund (HSDF)

The HSDF was created "for the purpose of encouraging county governments to provide locally identified services that will meet the human services needs of citizens in their counties". The funds "shall be used by the county solely to provide and administer county based social services and service coordination within the county". The HSDF is used in the county human services system to provide services in the following areas as stated in Section 4 of ACT 1994-78: Categorical Services, Service Coordination, Generic Services and Specialized Services.

About the Homeless Assistance Program

The intent of the HAP is to make available a continuum of services to persons who are at risk of becoming homeless and to those who are homeless and near homeless who can demonstrate that with the prevention and intervention services provided they would be able to meet their basic needs in the immediate and near future. HAP funds are made available to mitigate the effects of homelessness on families and individuals through the provision of housing, prevention activities and Case Management services. The HAP in Cambria County helps support organizations such as Cambria County Community Action Council, The Salvation Army, Women's Help Center, and The Johnstown Housing Authority.
