Family Support Services Overview
Huron County Department of Job & Family Services strives to provide programs to strengthen families, protect children, and the elderly. An important component in supporting independent families is to promote self-sufficiency as a way of life. Support services such as assistance with buying food, limited financial aid, getting adequate health care coverage, and child care are all supportive measures to help families in their pursuit of success.
Adult Protective Services:
Adult protective services are provided to the elderly who are in danger of harm, unable to protect themselves, and have no one else to assist them. We are mandated to investigate and evaluate all reports of suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation of adults age 60 and over.
Fact Sheet
Child Care Program:
Did you know that child care costs are the second highest monthly costs to families? This expense often makes it difficult for families to enter the work force or to remain in the work force. Now, there is a service available to meet this need. The Huron County Department of Job and Family Services' Child Care Program provides partial payment to child care providers for families who meet certain eligibility guidelines.

Healthy Families provides coverage to the entire family and is available to families whose income is at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Guideline. When family income exceeds the 100% standard, the family may be eligible for an additional 6 to 12 months of transitional coverage. Families receiving OWF are automatically eligible for Healthy Families.
Healthy Start provides coverage to children and pregnant women. Healthy Start covers children from birth through age 18, in families with income at or below the 200% Federal Poverty Guideline. Children in families with income between 150% and 200% of FPG must be uninsured in order to get Healthy Start. Pregnant women with family income up to 150% of FPG are also covered by the program.
