Human Services

Making quality care accessible
to those who need it most.

Our Human Services team partners with state agencies to navigate the complexities of federally funded programs. We work closely with you to streamline eligibility determination; ensure compliance; improve accountability; prevent fraud, waste and abuse; and boost sustainability, while driving innovation in value-based care, inter-agency funding models, and rural health initiatives. At HORNE, we bring a total commitment to improving access and care for those who are most in need.

Driving resilience for programs that improve the lives of our most vulnerable populations.

We provide strategic guidance across TANF, SNAP, WIC, child welfare, Medicaid, and other critical safety net programs, helping agencies enhance oversight, optimize funding, and improve service delivery. Our deep expertise in subrecipient monitoring, cost allocation, grant management, and performance evaluations helps states maximize the impact of every federal dollar, while maintaining program integrity.
