Strengths:
One strength is that we have many different services available for those who need the help.
Weaknesses:
A weakness could be that not everyone is aware of all the services that are available. The different communities that make up the Mahoning Valley should be more involved in the implementation of these programs. Canfield does not have many social services that the city helps run on their own. Also, the city's website should be more specific with services that are offered in the area in order to better inform the citizens what is available to them.
