Social Services/Welfare
Due to its small municipal size and lack of a large government structure such as neighboring cities like Youngstown and Greenville, official government resources related to social services and welfare are mainly based out of Trumbull County. The Trumbull County Department of Job & Family Services located on 280 N. Park Avenue Warren, Ohio 44481 help to serve the Kinsman Township area.
The Trumbull County Department of Job & Family Services offers the following resources:
Voluntary Resources
The town church may occasionally gather volunteers, but no official group exists. Volunteer resources are mainly on a hear-say basis, and the township largely relies on individual volunteers rather than group volunteers.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The strengths would include the availability of Trumbull County's large amount resources that are accessible to the town of Kinsman. Despite the fact they do not have their own department related to social services and welfare they have access to the abundant resources provided by Trumbull County. Lack of voluntary resources would be a weakness for Kinsman Township. There are no official organizational group volunteer programs available and if an individual were looking to volunteer they would have to depend on the church or form the group themselves. The township also does not have a social services and welfare office in the town so the drive to the office might deter some of the population from seeking out the help they need.
