Purpose
The IHSS Advisory Committee is a citizen body comprised of eleven members
who are appointed by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. The committee
has a minimum of six consumers of In-Home Supportive Services or personal care
services. The other five members may be caregivers, advocates for senior and
disabled adults, or interested community members. The Committee's responsibility
is to advise the Board of Supervisors, the Public Authority, Department of
Health and Human Services, and other involved agencies about IHSS and make
recommendations to improve services.
This is a public meeting and anyone may attend. For information, and to
verify meeting location, please contact the IHSS Public Authority at (916)

The meeting facilities are accessible to persons with
disabilities. Requests for interpreting services or other considerations should
be made through the IHSS Public Authority at (916) 875-2005 no later than five
working days prior to the meeting.
