DHS Core Values Relate to HAC

Model demonstrating cyclical relationship between DHS and HAC with arrows

The values of the Minnesota DHS and HAC are closely aligned. DHS' core values are:

  • We focus on people, not programs.
  • We provide ladders up and safety nets for the people we serve.
  • We work in partnership with others: we cannot do it alone.
  • We are accountable for results to the people we serve and all Minnesotans.

DHS practices these shared values in an ethical environment where integrity, trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, diversity, justice, fairness and caring are of paramount importance.
