you may be forced to use the Kennedy Foundation or some other Faith
based group. What ever happened to separation of church and state?
What if you are and atheist or other religion or belief? State
funded
drop in centers like On Our Own of Prince Georges County are forced
to
meet in churches. WTF?

monies
raises concerns about eroding the constitutional separation of church
and state, faith-based agencies serve a significant part of the
population. Churches, synagogues, and mosques serve as surrogate
families and community centers for millions of people. Religious
writings and spiritual practices bring solace, support, sharing,
practical wisdom, and guidance for dealing with myriad challenges,
relationships, transitions, and losses. People with incipient mental
illness may trust religious organizations far more than community
health services.
