What is ISH?

• A tax exempt, faith based organization that
  exists to develop, to coordinate, and to make

  directly benefit Henrico citizens whose human
  needs are unmet by existing governmental
  services.

Current Needs

• 2005 marks ISHs twenty-third year in partnership
  with the Department of Social Services.
  
• The need for the resources provided by ISH has
  not diminished in the years since it was
  organized in 1983.
  
• The Department acknowledges dependence upon ISH
  as it attempts to serve vulnerable citizens.

19
Current Needs

• Caseloads of low income elderly/disabled adults
  continue to increase.
  
• Caseloads of foster care children are the highest
  ever. Most have been abused and/or neglected.
  
• Current economic conditions have precipitated an
  increase in the numbers of program applicants and
  an increase in emergency need requests, which
  totaled 10,037 as of December for Fiscal Year
  2002-2003.
