About the Human Services Resource Guide
About the HSRG The Human Services Resource Guide (HSRG) is a web-based application
that contains information about organizations, programs and services available to
Fairfax County residents. The HSRG provides detailed descriptions and eligibility
criteria about the services offered by public and non-profit organizations. The
information contained in the HSRG is researched, reviewed and maintained by human
services staff.
The HSRG utilizes a Taxonomy or classification system to organize services. The
Taxonomy provides all users with a common language to easily identify similar services.
The Taxonomy is made up of a hierarchy of classifications with a minimum of 3 to
a maximum of 6 levels of specificity. Searching at a higher level will provide more
results, while searching at a lower level will lessen search results. Take note
of the associated classification term in each service profile to determine how that
service was classified in the HSRG. For additional information about the HSRG contact us
