Human, Housing, Business and Community Services

Riverside County’s Economy and Community Development departments are responsible for many of the programs that contribute to the great quality of life in our neighborhoods.

This department promotes parental responsibility to enhance the well-being of children, by establishing parentage and collecting financial support. Establishing and enforcing child support orders not only helps the safety and well-being of children, but it also promotes a healthier economic community.

Children are learning from the moment they’re born. First 5 Riverside works in partnership with our community of service providers to ensure young children and their families have the resources they need to build a strong foundation for success.

The mission of the Housing, Homeless Prevention and Workforce Solutions department is to transform and promote healthy, thriving communities, reignite hope and restore human dignity through the creation and preservation of programs that enhance quality of life.

The Office on Aging is charged with offering safety net services for vulnerable older persons and adults with disabilities in Riverside County.

The Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) provides services and assistance to protect and empower vulnerable people in our community. These include temporary financial assistance and employment services for families and individuals, programs and services to protect children and adults from abuse and neglect, and access to health care coverage for low-income individuals and families.

Riverside County’s Veterans’ Services Office promotes and honors all veterans. The department works to enhance veterans’ quality of life, and that of their dependents and survivors, through counseling, claims assistance, education, advocacy, and special projects.

The Registrar of Voters ensures a fair electoral process conducted with the highest professionalism, which consistently demonstrates neutrality and non-partisan decision-making.
