Georgia’s Department of Human Services (DHS) provides a range of services to individuals and families across the Peach State.

The agency oversees the state’s foster care system, investigates child and elder abuse and determines who qualifies for assistance programs like SNAP and Medicaid.

Candice Broce, who was recently appointed the commissioner for DHS, and the director of the Georgia Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS), was a guest on “Closer Look.”
