Private Support

Today's world faces unprecedented complexities. Governments, businesses, and nonprofits have far to go in solving these problems. The economic recession of 2007 exposed a significant decline in public and private support for social services (Pitt- Catsouphes & Berzin, 2015) and the need for social workers to facilitate new ways of addressing the complex, interwoven problems of poverty, racism, social inequity, and discrimination. Now more than ever, social workers need to understand how social services can utilize new strategies with new solutions to address these issues (Berzin, 2012). ). Shuman & Fuller (2005) coined the phrase “revolution will not be funded,” indicating that nonprofits all over the country must devise new incomegenerating strategies to empower disadvantaged groups. Although the media reports that the U.S. economy has rebounded, foundations and governments still expect social service nonprofits to leverage new forms of revenue to fulfill their missions. There is also some uncertainty about how nonprofits will be funded long term as local, state, and federal government dollars dry up. In addition, some claim that social service organizations develop complex programs that do not match the interests of funders (Foster, Kim, & Christensen, 2009).

Global Pandemic

The article deals with the issues arising in the process of performing their official duties by social workers. A representative survey of social workers on the most pressing issues of their provision of medical and social assistance and social and medical services in social service organizations of the population of Moscow was conducted. The problems of providing medical and social assistance to the population by social workers during the global pandemic COVID-19 are analyzed. This group of specialists carries out a significant amount of medical work that is not regulated by their official duties. The lack of necessary competencies does not allow social workers to provide medical and social assistance to consumers of social and medical services to a sufficient extent. It seems appropriate to transfer part of the functions of medical personnel to social workers. The data obtained in the study can be a methodological basis for improving medical and social assistance, increasing the availability of social and medical services provided in social service organizations.

Abstract This article examines the appeal of Hindu right-wing social service organizations, which try to use welfare provisions to entrench themselves in urban slums across India. However, in South India, their welfare provision is not as successful in Tamil Nadu as in Karnataka. I explain this spatial variation by arguing that these communal organizations fail to entrench themselves in those slums where preexisting civic associations closely linked to party officials and local administrators function as efficient patronage networks, providing welfare needs to the urban poor and reducing the need for non-state actors such as right-wing groups.
