<strong>HSM</strong> <strong>210</strong> Week 2 Checkpoint Researcing Human Services Agencies<br />

about how various human service organizations meet human needs is to research<br />

and study agencies within your city or state.<br />

Resources: Appendixes B, C, and G<br />

sources. Search for information about how the agency determines needs and the<br />

demographic it serves. Refer to Appendix C for tips on where to find this<br />

information and Appendix G for other suggested Web sites.<br />

Compare and contrast the information you found for each agency, then answer the<br />

following questions in 200 to 300 words:<br />

What needs does each agency meet and what demographic does each agency<br />

serve? What or who may have influenced the agency’s decision to meet the needs<br />

of this demographic group?<br />

What differences have you observed between the ways the two agencies attempt to<br />

meet human needs?


How successful is each agency in meeting the needs of its demographic group?<br />
