Kenosha Human Development Services, Inc. (KHDS) began with a call for help from administrators at the county department of social services and the state division of corrections. From its inception, the heart of the KHDS organization has always been a rational approach to solving problematic human behavior. The essence of that approach has been to calmly define the problem, to identity various possible solutions, to identify needed resources, to implement the most appropriate solution, and to modify the solution until the desired outcome is reached. KHDS has always been an advocate for developing community-based resources centered on helping individuals and their families to solve their own problems.

Our mission is to provide public, individual, and group care for the citizens of Kenosha County in cooperation with the social, health, and family service branches of county, state, and federal government. Care shall be in the least restrictive manner and will include group type treatment facilities, as well as other services to enable the public in need to learn new skills and adapt to acceptable community living standards and practices.
