Carroll County Social Services is a group of well trained professional and semi professional individuals responsible for the administration of services and benefits to the citizens as provided by various federal, state, and local policies and regulations based on the needs and available resources of the individuals and or families within the confines of available funding.

An effective social service and public assistance system is designed to meet the basic needs of citizens who cannot help themselves.  The system shall provide services within the needy citizen’s home community and within and environment that promotes family stability, wherever possible.  These services will be designed to assist these citizens to become as self-sufficient and self-supporting as their own capabilities permit.  To accomplish these goals, the system must assure that the resources which the citizens of the Commonwealth provide for these services are used practically, efficiently and effectively. The list of services we provide is available by clicking the link in the left menu “Citizen’s Services”.
