- Major concerns for information and referral are: homeless children; assistance with
housing; transportation; outreach to homebound and ethnic minorities. Trends in this
service are influenced by an increase in complexity of problems, more involvement by
I&R in direct service, more case management and more coordination and cooperation
among agencies. These expansions in service require more time, more in depth assessment
and more follow up. There is still an unmet need for information.
