Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Clark County Department of Social Services to respect and maintain the dignity of county residents while providing quality and available services.

The Clark County Department of Social Services is created by Chapter 46.22 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The agency is state supervised and answers to a five-member Social Services Board elected by the Clark County Board of Supervisors.

The Social Service Department is made up of three units with very different sets of duties. Those units are the Social Services Unit, Economic Support Unit, and Clerical Unit.

Disclaimer Publication
Alternatively, the statement, "This institution is an equal opportunity provider" may be used on materials that are promotional and where the longer statement would not fit, as long as the font size used is the same as that on the rest of the material. Food stamp regulations also allow for the use of a combined statement on applications and materials that discuss or are used for programs funded by both United States Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Agencies may not change state designed and required forms or publications. Optional forms such as "What to Bring With You" may only be altered to include the agency specific information such as letterhead and a contact name and number. Agencies may not substitute their own application or other forms, unless approved by DHFS.
