The Department of Human Services has gubernatorial designation as the lead state department for the assessment, development and coordination of services to over 90,000 migrant agricultural farmworkers and family members.
DHS seeks to develop and coordinate the delivery of DHS services to migrants by:
- analyzing, recommending and advocating for favorable intrepretation of the Department's program policies and procedures that impact on the migrant,
- coordinating the allocation, recruitment, testing, hiring and training of DHS bilingual (English/Spanish) Migrant Program seasonal and year-round staff, and
- advocating for migrants with regard to proposed federal and state legislation.
DHS services to migrants are delivered through approximately 72 seasonal and full time bilingual (English/Spanish) workers. These workers are housed in 24 counties and serve our state's 40 most migrant populated counties. Some offices serve more than one county.
