Cabarrus County’s Department of Human Services (DHS) is now offering resources at a new location off Kannapolis Parkway near the intersection of Highway 3.
The County’s facility at 4855 Milestone Ave. joins the 1303 S. Cannon Blvd. location and the Dream Center site at 280 Concord Parkway.

The Milestone location offers ample parking towards the left of the building, with spaces marked for visitors. Upon arriving at the front entrance through automatic doors in the center of the building, visitors can check in at the front desk.
A drop box outside the main entrance marked “for DHS use only” allows customers to drop off information after hours.
In addition to Long-Term Care Medicaid and Special Assistance for Adults, visitors can receive help with:
- Adult and Aging Services, including complaints about a facility or someone in a facility
