Public agencies are those that
receive some funding from tax monies, United Way contributions or other
contributions. Most public agencies
will handle a variety of problems but refer persons they are unequipped to
handle to a more appropriate provider.
Payment for services in public agencies is most often based on a financial interview that determines the individual’s ability to pay for services. Some private providers listed in this Directory also use this type of “sliding scale”

which have been identified as vitally important skills to help the individuals
we serve to be more prosocial, productive and independent.
