New England Human Services Collaborative (NEHSCO) is a consortium of human services providers with a shared vision rooted in access and innovation. NEHSCO was created to address the growing need for collaboration and shared resources among human services agencies in the region, as demand for services in the network increases.

Did you know that one out of every 10 people in the Commonwealth is served by the human services system? As pressures on the system mount, including staffing vacancies, site closures, and skills gaps, consolidation is becoming more prevalent. In fact, there were 251 merger and acquisition transactions in 2021 alone, a 300% increase from the year prior.But what if there was a better way? Through the affiliation model, NEHSCO is creating connectivity that allows for flexibility and cost-sharing among our integrated affiliate network without sacrificing your autonomy. And a single door into an integrated provider network for the people we serve.
