In May of 2013, Catholic Social Services (CSS) was awarded the designation of a Community Umbrella Agency (CUA) by the Department of Human Services (DHS).

The CUA is responsible for establishing a network of alliances with sub-contractors, other diverse providers and supportive resources for at risk youth and families in targeted neighborhoods.

Catholic Community Services (CCS) CUA #4 is a legally, independent community program that functions under the auspices of CSS that manages Community Engagement, Prevention Services, and Case Management Services formerly maintained by DHS.
