Advisory Body Meetings

Advisory Body Meeting Times and Locations

Advisory bodies are associated with each service area of DHS. Five of these advisory bodies are mandated by state and federal regulations and the Sunshine Act to oversee the provision of services and assist in policy planning. These meetings are identified in the listings below. If you are interested in serving on any of these mandated bodies, please apply here. The other bodies are convened by DHS to support planning and provision of quality services. If you are interested in learning more about these non-mandated bodies, email us at DHSAdvisoryBodies@alleghenycounty.us.

Meetings held in the Human Services Building after normal work hours are accessible through the door adjacent to the parking lot in the rear of the building. To enter, use the intercom to the left of the door to alert the guard.
