Terry Neuzil introduced Lynette Jacoby who has been the Social Services Coordinator for the past 4 years and who has been working tirelessly to ensure the investments made in social services are making a difference in the county. Previously, Ms. Jacoby spent 21 years with United Action for Youth spearheading programs for teens and homeless teens and the experience helped to fuel her passions in youth development, hunger initiatives and affordable housing.
 

The mission of department is to work collaboratively in response to the social services needs of persons living in Johnson County whether through services and programs offered by Johnson County directly, or through cooperative agreements and funding partnerships. Johnson County Social Services provides a wide array of help to families, youth, and individuals residing in the county. It is important to note that 1 out of 4 residents have accessed their services and 70% of the requests they receive are for rental requests. Hunger and affordable housing continue to be a struggle for our residents and that is the area she would focus additional funds were they available.
