About Us
Mission
The mission of the Indiana Coalition for Human Services is to promote public policy that betters the lives of those at risk and in need.
Core Principles
The Coalition’s work is guided by three core values in all efforts to voice the needs of vulnerable Hoosiers: inclusiveness, comprehensiveness, and quality.
Specifically, ICHS advocates for:
- Inclusion of individuals and human service groups in priority setting, policy formulation, program development and evaluation;
- The development of comprehensive human services programming; and
- The delivery of quality human services programming in our state and local communities.
Coalition members voluntarily join together to communicate that all citizens are valued and to insure that human needs are provided. Members of the Coalition Cultivate, Advocate, Represent, and Educate (CARE):
| CULTIVATE | relationships with state and local officials. |
| ADVOCATE | with one unified voice. |
| REPRESENT | Coalition issues before the General Assembly. |
| EDUCATE | legislators, Coalition members, and the state-wide community about the issues affecting Indiana’s most vulnerable populations. |
