Agency Guide
An agency is the organization responsible for offering help and oversees different programs. Each program focuses on a specific type of support, such as housing, employment, or recovery services. To make it easier for people to find the help they need, it’s best to list each type of service as its own program,even if they’re all run by the same agency.
