The Office of Adult Services (OAS) provides a wide range of services to families and individuals in Delaware County. The majority of direct services are delivered and managed through contracts with community service agencies and monitored by OAS. Some service systems are coordinated through OAS.
OAS participates in the leadership of the Homeless Services Coalition, and the formal, year-round countywide assessment and planning process to address the needs of the homeless and near homeless, as well as coordination and collaboration within the homeless services system. Services funded directly through OAS include case management, emergency shelter, rent and utility assistance and transitional housing.
The AIDS Consortium of Delaware County is the coordinating body for HIV/AIDS services in the County, and is facilitated by OAS. Some services for individuals and families affected by HIV are funded by OAS, including case management, housing counseling, rental subsidies, support services and prevention education.
Emergency food programs are funded and coordinated through OAS. The Emergency Food Assistance Program offers federal commodities and the State Food Purchase Program funds the purchase of food, food vouchers and meal programs for income-eligible households.
OAS funds the Family Center Program in Delaware County, which features community-based drop-in centers in Chester-Upland and Darby-Yeadon. Individuals and families can participate in parent education training, life skill workshops, literacy programs, youth mentoring, child development programs, and a range of other services provided on-site, in the home and in neighborhood settings.
