Membership
The American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) supports leaders from state, county, and city human services agencies to advance the well-being of individuals, families, and communities nationwide. As a bipartisan membership association, we work within and across systems and sectors, fostering partnerships and elevating innovations to effect change. APHSA connects with federal agencies, Congress, and the Administration to help federal policymakers understand what works at the state, county, and city levels and how to modernize national policies, through guidance, regulations, and legislation. We bring foundations, researchers, people with lived experience, community-based organizations, and other thought leaders into conversations with our connected network. Together, we facilitate information sharing and catalyze meaningful system change throughout the nation.
