Groups issue call to action to address struggling human services sector

The nation's nonprofit human services organizations are drastically underfunded, face serious financial and managerial constraints and lack the necessary capacity to meet the needs of society, according to a new report from the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities and the American Public Human Services Association. That's troubling considering the sector accounts for about $200 billion in economic impact each year, and provides the very services that underlie a range of social and economic challenges, including health care and incarceration rates.
