"In 2021, the DeKalb Human Services Grants Program awarded $907,452 in grant funds to fifty-four (54) agencies that serve children, adults, families, and communities. The Human Services Grants Program is far more than writing a check. The human experience is a dynamic one. It is a journey that is not always easy. The challenges people face can sometimes be daunting and many times overwhelming, impacting children, families, and communities in ways that can last a lifetime."
