Many social service organizations experience a high amount of referrals to other programs due to inquiries that are for resources that the organization isn't equipped to handle, such as an individual visiting a shelter in search of food when in fact the shelter only supplies showers and beds. By creating a directory of resources we can help both the staff of social programs and those that they are serving to be more informed when searching for the correct social services.
