The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) is the second largest department in Contra Costa County. We envision that our County will continue to be a thriving community where individuals and families can be healthy, safe, secure and self-sufficient. To achieve this vision, we partner with the community to deliver quality services to ensure access to resources that support, protect, and empower individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency. Â
Our staff members embrace the core values of promoting organizational excellence; delivering exceptional customer experiences; communicating openly; embracing change; behaving ethically; and respecting diversity. At EHSD these tenets form our foundation for Building Brighter Futures Together. Â
