Notes:

The web site you are viewing right now represents a significant step for human services into Internet-based information sharing. ResourceNet also represents a special collaboration between two very different human service organizations in Boston—Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD), Boston’s anti-poverty agency, and the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC), the nation’s first public health department. These two organizations have come together to provide visitors like you with accurate and up-to-date information on the wide variety of human services available across the city of Boston.

ResourceNet is a collaboration which is not only unique in Boston’s human service community, but nationally. The availability of ResourceNet to the general public denotes the first steps of human service provision into the internet age. The benefits of the Internet have been slow to reach providers of human and social services, but the development of tools such as ResourceNet will improve the abilities of human service communities to take advantage of the ways in which the internet can defy time and geography.

ResourceNet is accessible from anywhere in the country at any hour. It can locate information on nonprofit organizations which provide child care services in Portuguese in Dorchester in the blink of an eye. No matter how specific your need for information on a particular kind of organization, ResourceNet can help you find it. Accurate and timely information is often a luxury in the human service community—ResourceNet hopes to make it a standard.

ResourceNet maintains information on 2,000 organizations and agencies. Any listed organization with a website is provided with a link to that website. Updates are conducted annually, but listed organizations can update their entries online at any time and new entries are also accepted online. ABCD and BPHC remain committed to providing hard copies of ResourceNet for those members of our human service family without internet access. To receive a print version of ResourceNet, please contact us.

Feedback from users is critical to the success of information products like ResourceNet. Please share with us how you find this site useful, or ways in which it does not facilitate your search for information by contacting us.
