Director's Letter: HCJFS Improves Effectiveness of SuperJobs
Last year, Hamilton County Job and Family Services took over
operation of the SuperJobs Center from a private vendor. We did so with
a number of goals, namely increasing services to Hamilton County and
City of Cincinnati residents by reducing administrative costs.
I am proud to say that one year after we assumed operation, we’ve
reduced operating costs by more than $700,000 and increased spending on
training and transportation for Hamilton County residents by more than
$900,000. As a result, more residents were able to get and keep a job.

foster kids ages 15 to 18 currently in Hamilton County foster
care. The program will also serve recently emancipated youth,
ages 19 to 21.

The father had not made a
full monthly payment in two years so HCJFS implemented a lien.
