The Unique Challenges of Social Service Providers

Increased Demands for Core Services
Suffering from job cut backs or lay-offs, more and more individuals are seeking various forms of treatment and putting a strain on Social Service Providers. Community Service Providers may see an increase in homeless individuals and families and an increased need for job training programs or job referral services.

Expenses Exceeding Support & Revenue
Due to funding cuts throughout the US, many service providers are faced with decreasing state funding and grant availability. Facilities are also turning to the public in hopes of receiving individual donations but some individuals have cut back on their own personal expenses, which has greatly affected the amount of donations – if they are contributing at all. This lack of funding has challenged many facilities in balancing the increased operational expenses with decreased revenue support.
