The majority of the funds for Monroe County Social Services comes from county taxpayers, federal and state sources. All of this Department’s services are under the direction of the Monroe County Administrator and Board of County Commissioners.
Services are mostly to the elderly, disabled, and indigent clients, with information and referrals given to other agencies. Some emergency assistance is available on a very limited basis to those who meet the requirements.
This Department also coordinates all the meetings of the Florida Keys Council for People with Disabilities, was instrumental in getting the Dade-Monroe Express bus extended to go from Florida City to Marathon, and was instrumental in getting the Lower Keys Shuttle bus extended to go from Key West to Marathon.
The Dade-Monroe Express bus has now been extended to Marathon with scheduled stops in Key Largo (MM98), Tavernier (MM90), Islamorada (MM74), and Marathon (MM50).
