Social Service Issues and Challenges in the 1980's
Abstract
Social services at present are characterized by two major features:
growth & confusion. Federal funding under Title XX can be used for
enormously varied types of projects. This variety & lack of
definition have limited public acceptance of social services as an
institution. In addition, the social services are challenged by the
economic limits that have now become apparent, & which imply a
reduction in their growth, though not necessarily a contraction. Even
while this is taking place, a variety of new needs demands attention.
Unmet needs also exist for impact evaluation & for concern with
client rights. The social services must resolve these conflicting
demands to form policy for the next decade. W. H. Stoddard.
