<br />Economic Conditions
<br />While many economists are predicting an upswing in the economy in
<br />2010, all acknowledge that employment is the last area to reflect
<br />an improved economy and unemployment levels will remain high well
<br />into 2010.
<br />• We expect to continue to see a demand for our financial
<br />assistance programs (Medicaid, Food Stamps, Crisis assistance) in
<br />the coming year.
<br />• We also expect to see continued increase in service
<br />requests related to the poor economic conditions including
<br />o Increase in child support actions as more custodial parents
<br />actively pursue child support and parents under child support
<br />order request adjustments due to unemployment or reduced work
<br />hours.
<br />o As production and other higher pay jobs evaporate, lower
<br />paying service jobs remain available. Requests for day care
<br />assistance remain high as the service jobs frequently do not paid
<br />enough to cover the cost of day care.
<br />o Child Protective Service complaints and investigations are
<br />projected to remain high as these numbers tend to increase during
<br />stressful economic times.
