Human Support Services

For  more than four decades, we have been proud to call this building at 988 North Illinois Route 3 in Waterloo our home.

Within these walls, thousands of mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, grandparents and children have found the support they need to pursue their best lives. In truth, everyone likely knows someone whose life has been in some way positively impacted by the kind of work we do here at HSS.

This building is more than the walls and roof that you see from the road.  It represents over 1500 children and adults we welcome each year who are seeking help through one of our many programs.

While we are reaching out to ask for your help transforming our building, please know that in the end, you are helping to break cycles of poverty and unemployment, providing pathways for families to reconnect, and facilitating opportunities for housing, employment and healthy living.

You are providing hope.  And above all you are Helping All People Live Their Best Lives.

“When I look at where my life was when I started coming here and where my life is now, I’m in such a good place. I am thankful for my therapist’s support throughout the entire journey.” - HSS client
