Mission Statement
“HSP gives HOPE, inspires CHANGE, and provides OPPORTUNITY by mobilizing our community in the fight against poverty.”
About This Cause
Human Services Programs of Carroll County (HSP), Inc., is a non-profit Community Action Agency that was originally founded in 1987 by the late Sylvia Canon Haines. In the 1980's, Sylvia worked for the Department of Social Services in Carroll County. She noticed that there were people who needed services that were not being provided, including shelter for homeless women and children. After seeing such gaps in services available to the community, Sylvia made the decision to create HSP. Over the past 30 years, HSP developed programming to meet the unique needs of Carroll County residents struggling with poverty. Each of our eighteen current programs was created in response to an unmet need in our community. Our services and programs, include: Shelter Program & Housing Services, Home Energy Program, Family Support Program, Economic Mobility, which includes Opportunity WORKS – our re-entry pre-employment training services and Financial Education Services. HSP continues to honor Sylvia’s legacy by embracing the philosophy of “filling in the gaps” for our Carroll County neighbors and “mobilizing the community” to join us in our fight against poverty. HSP is a proud member of the Maryland Community Action Partnership and the national Community Action Partnership: America’s Poverty Fighting Network.
