Three River Human Service Zone Board aka Social Service Board

Three River Human Service Zone, formerly known as Morton County Social Services, is currently seeking a new member to our Social Services Board.  Interested candidates must reside within Morton County.  

The 65th Legislative Assembly passed a bill known as Senate Bill 2124 which allows regions to work collaboratively with each other and the ND Department of Human Services in meeting the needs of North Dakota citizens through programs and services.  The programs being delivered include federal, state, and local programs to citizens, including food stamps, health care assistance, housing and home energy assistance, foster care, child/daycare licensing, abuse and neglect intervention with the goal of helping people reach their maximum level of self-sufficiency.  In an effort to meet regional needs, Morton, Grant, and Sioux County joined forces to create the newly formed Three Rivers Human Service Zone.

This board is seeking qualified individuals to apply for the opening.  The primary requirement is Morton County residency, over the age of 18, and have the ability to meet with the board on a monthly basis.  Appointment is for a 3-year term expiring 06/30/2029, board members may serve for more than one term.

Deadline for applications is June 18, 2026.

If you have questions or comments, please reach out to Dawn Rhone, County Auditor or Wendy Bent, Human Resources Director.
