Items highlighted in yellow are programs also administered by the department for Boone County.
The department provides emergency housing and administers the energy and electricity assistance program better known as LIHEAP. It organizes advocacy groups for the poor and is heavily involved in the Mayor’s Task Force on Homelessness. The bulk of department is made up of the Head Start program,
Under the proposal, all the housing, energy and community services programs run by Human Services would still be offered, but through the city’s Community Development Department. George Davis, director of Human Services, would stay on as the lead of a new division that would handle the programs.
By merging Human Services into the community development department, the city could consolidate some programs and eliminate some positions, the report said, although how many is unclear.
Davis would work with other department heads to pick the staff of the new division and determine how many employees it would need.
