The LSS Department is the third largest department within the Welfare Administration. Our mandate is to implement decisions made under the LSS Act, primarily decisions regarding housing with special services, personal assistance, and day activities. The goal of the support we provide is to promote equality in living conditions and full participation in societal life, so that the individual who has been granted an intervention has the opportunity to live like everyone else.
