Based in Washington, D.C., NACSHA supports the professional development of administrators committed to delivering quality services to county residents.  It provides information from a variety of sources to help counties navigate the ever changing federal landscape.  The organization also educated federal policymakers on the roles and responsibilities of county human services systems.
