The all-volunteer Citizens Committee on Services to Children and Youth in Philadelphia publish its first study, “Improving the Delivery of Services to Philadelphia Citizens and Youth”. The study finds that the needs of Philadelphia children are not being met, and the delivery of services necessary to support them is inadequate. Recognizing that the unmet needs are threatening the quality of life for all Philadelphia citizens, PCCY makes more than 40 recommendations.
