The Underfunding and Accountability Crisis in Canada's Community-based Social Service Sector

The purpose of this paper...

is to examine the current state of the community-based social service sector in Canada. We provide a broad overview of the range of services and programs that the sector offers to the population it serves.
 

We outline the challenges that community-based social service workers face in trying to provide quality care in a system in turmoil from over a decade of serious underfunding.
