In the November 2010 election, voters approved a 0.9 mill levy for a maximum of 5 years to provide additional resources for human services programs. This mill levy was extended by the voters for another 15 years in the November 2014 election. The intergovernmental funding for these programs is under pressure as the state continues to balance their budget, while at the same time the need for additional programs has increased as caseloads continue an upward trend. The 0.9 mill levy for 2023 will generate $8,259,786 in budgeted property tax for this Special Revenue fund.

The 2023 budgeted expenditures of $8,434,158 result in a projected $5,174,164 year-end fund balance. The Housing & Human Services department administers the funds, which are transferred to them from the Human Services Safety Net Fund (these funds will then become eligible for matching intergovernmental funding.) Program reporting requirements also apply to the programs that are funded by the property tax. Recipients of the funding include the departments of Housing & Human Services, Public Health, along with Mental Health Partners, Via Mobility, and Juvenile Diversion programs.

In the 2020 and 2021 adopted budgets, this dedicated mill levy and its associated activity were included in a unique appropriation within the Health and Human Services Fund. In 2021, the county reestablished a separate fund within the county structure to account for this activity and an amendment was processed to move the revenue and expenditure budgets for Human Services Safety Net back into a fund of its own.
