Coffee-Town Problem
Human Service Plan
Coffee-Town is an area with great social service professionals that do a great job of service delivery to help the people of the community. However, even with the great performance there are some shortfalls and shortcomings that are under way whereby people are unable to get the full depth and breadth of the services that they need. In addition, the bureaucracy of all of the different social services and how they do (or do not) fit together is creating a headache and a substantial amount of time spent to get each of the individual services.

While there are challenges that can inhibit changing the status quo for the people that need services and the people that deliver them, these conditions and issues are entirely addressable.

People in need of social services have children to raise and jobs to find, among other important things. Tying them up for the better part of a day or more is lunacy and this should absolutely be addressed. The time of the agency personnel is valuable but so is the time...

And SEE-Change, a movement in Australia, which could be emulated in the U.S., claims it has a goal of "empowering" Australians to make good decisions on a local level since political leaders cannot be counted on to lead.
