The National Association of Counties has chosen a Hamilton County Job and Family Services’ program as one of its 100 Brilliant Ideas at Work, recognizing the program as one of the most innovative government programs in the country.

The Association recognized the county’s partnership to help food assistance recipients obtain long-term self-sufficiency through training and employment in the trucking industry. Hamilton County partnered with the state of Ohio and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service in a first-of-its-kind partnership that trained food assistance recipients to drive trucks, resulting in jobs paying more than $45,000 per year.

Hamilton County is one of the few counties in Ohio to combine assistance programs, child protection, child support and employment assistance under one agency. To make sure those seeking adoption and foster care information can find what they need, and to help our kids find homes, we have a dedicated web page for adoption and foster care at HCKids.org.
