The goal of the Sonoma County’s Human Services Department (HSD) is to protect and improve the well-being of the individuals and families who reside in Sonoma County – especially those who cannot protect themselves. They accomplish this by providing many different forms of assistance, including employment services, in-home support to aging and disabled individuals, Veteran’s services, foster care, food stamps, cash assistance, and eligibility for medical services. This agency provides emergency rental assistance funds to help tenants keep their rental units, or help with first month's rent and/or deposits for moving into a rental unit (HCA Fund Program).
