“Find Services” Web Application for Social Programs
|
 |
There is a new web application that will help struggling New Yorkers locate benefits to assist them during their time of need.
Developed through a public-private partnership with Google.org, the user-friendly social services discovery application will help individuals who are either new to or unfamiliar with the state’s social programs network.
The “Find Services” web application provides an easy-to-use starting point for first-time users of social programs. |
| The web application prompts each user with a series of simple questions aimed at narrowing the field of possible services to those that are best designed to serve their needs.
After answering the questions, the user is provided with a ranked list of potential services along with a description to help residents judge if the service is right for them and provide them with more information about how to apply. |
