The following resources are all part of APHSA’s series, Courageous Imperatives for Human Services, which provides recommendations to the new Administration and Congress to help develop strategies that unlock the potential of human services. We look forward to working together to create a country where everyone thrives.

Human services play a crucial role in shaping the health, well-being, and prosperity of the American people. With more than half of Americans receiving human services during the course of their lifetime, this system of services and benefits has become an indispensable instrument that enables individuals, families, and communities to build a better future. This series highlights how the new Administration can leverage the human services infrastructure to further national priorities including economic prosperity, better health and well-being, affordable housing and food, and ensuring the labor market meets the demands of American businesses to keep them thriving.
