These are some recent examples of our work in social services.

Hartford's Options for Tomorrow (HOT) - Strategic Planning, Special Reports - HOT is a coalition of Hartford, Connecticut social service agencies seeking new revenue streams in the wake of reduced government funding.

HWF then drafted a final report including recommendations and a detailed action plan.
