Local departments of social services also offer child care subsidy; child support enforcement; emergency food provision; and housing and employment assistance. With local organizations, social services departments work to provide emergency shelter and transitional housing, drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, and even general education development (GED) courses.
In addition, the General Assembly addresses concerns about social services through the Senate Finance Committee, and the House Ways and Means Committee.
