How are we different from Kenosha County?

Kenosha Human Development Services (KHDS) is a private non-profit that provides a variety of services to support the wellbeing of people living in Kenosha. KHDS operates independently, but receives significant funding and support from Kenosha County - particularly for the programs at the Crisis Prevention Center. The agency offers over 40 programs and relies on the generosity and engagement of the community to fully achieve its mission.
