Welcome to our DSHS Strategic Plan

On this site you will find our House of Health and Human Services which illustrates DSHS priorities for the future. The site also contains links to sections that highlight the strategic goals and success measures that support the DSHS goals and collectively make up the DSHS Strategic Plan. 

Across our agency, we focus on key service and foundational priorities to guide our Strategic Plan. The DSHS House of Health and Human Services outlines those priorities.
