The Future Outlook for Delivery of Human Services

Abstract

THE TAXPAYERS of this country spend around $126 billion for human services provided by the Federal Government alone, but both those who pay for these services and the intended recipients are far from getting $126 billion worth of good out of them. The root cause of this is simply that we do not have one human service network but hundreds of narrowly based health, education, welfare, and manpower programs operating in virtual isolation from one another. Sixty percent of the people who seek social services are turned away. Of the 40 percent who actually get in an agency's door, only 17 percent actually get served. And that is only one measure of the system's failure. In addition, 9 of every 10 people who walk through the door of a human service agency need not only one service but a number of services.
