The Human Services Chamber is a coalition of 70 human services providers in Hamilton County, Ohio, which includes the City of Cincinnati and outer suburbs.  Our mission is to develop and advocate for policies that are beneficial to our member organizations and the clients they serve, such as expanded affordable housing options, eviction prevention support and robust public transit.  Our members are experts in providing essential services including job training, housing, mental health and addiction treatment, and supportive services for children, seniors and persons with disabilities.  HSC is the only organization in the Cincinnati region that advocates for all facets of the human services community.

The Human Services Chamber was formed in 2013 when a small group of providers saw the need for the human services sector to have a voice in policy decisions affecting the community.  These founders believed that the human services sector needed to be able to educate public officials and community stakeholders about the unique issues that affect human services providers and the clients they serve.  Since 2013, HSC has grown to represent many of the primary human services providers in Hamilton County and is recognized by policymakers and other community leaders as a leading voice on human services issues .

• Membership: Build a strong, diverse membership of human services providers.  Our membership is comprised of both large and small organizations who provide the full spectrum services.
