Abstract:
This dataset contains 2016 Social Services Information for the State of Florida. It contains information for a variety of organizations that may provide tangible assistance or work in the advocacy realm. Address information was derived from a variety of online data sources including state and private webpages. The various categories of social services in this dataset include adoption, children's services, orphanages, job training, natural disaster, paratransit, access/benefits eligibility, food assistance, homeless services, housing assistance, legal services, handicapped and protective services. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address as well as contact information for social services facilities located in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of social services facilities in Florida.
Note - see "Data Lineage Summary" section for information about Social Services data that may be present in other layers. This layer is an update to the FGDL layer GC_SOCIALSERVICE_MAY08.
Purpose:
This data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems and for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
This social services dataset was derived from a variety of online sources including websites managed by public and private organizations.
What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers.
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located.
Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas.
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route.

Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the 2016 statewide social services data layer.
Data for social services in the state of Florida were taken from a variety of online sources. These sources were compiled using a variety of methods. Primarily, an older version of the social services layer was consulted and compared to other datasets managed by GeoPlan to see what overlap may be present and what needed to be carried over to a new dataset. In addition, any other areas that may have been left out were considered by QAQC staff and added.
The old layer, named GC_SocialService_May08, contained data that overlapped with other layers. This updated layer version contains data points that were not included in other layers or are services which were not included in the previous layer. If a user is looking for social services in the following categories, which may not be found in this layer, they can be found in these related layers: Correctional Facilities ----------------------- FDEM_CORRECTIONAL_AUG07, GC_CORRECTIONAL_FEB13 Health Department ----------------------------- FDEM_HEALTHDEPT_FEB10 Nursing Homes --------------------------------- FDEM_NURSINGHOME_FEB10 Assisted Living Facilities -------------------- GC_ASSISTED_HOUSING_JUL13 Daycares -------------------------------------- GC_DAYCARE_OCT10 Mobile Home Parks ----------------------------- GC_MOBILEHOMES_2009 Civic Centers --------------------------------- GC_CIVICCENTER_DEC11 Community Centers ----------------------------- GC_COMMUNITYCENTER_FEB15 Government Buildings -------------------------- GC_GOVBUILD_FEB13 Health Facilities ----------------------------- GC_HEALTH_JUL09 Veterans Facilities --------------------------- GC_VETERANS_JUL13
The various types of social services that were selected to be included in the new social services layer were then searched online to find the most complete set of locations to add.
The final types and sub-types that were selected to be included in the social services layer include: Adoption - Adoption specialists, Licensed adoption agencies, Heart of adoptions organizations Children's Services - Guardian ad litem, United way Orphanages - Florida Baptist Children's Homes, Children's Home Society, Florida United Methodist children's home Job Training - Careersource centers, Americorps, Jobcorp, Youthbuild Natural Disaster - American red cross, Salvation army, Emergency housing shelters, Relief agencies Paratransit - County paratransit services Access/Benefits Eligibility - Access service centers, Community partner agencies, Refugee assistance, Social security offices, Community action agencies Food Assistance - Food banks, Food pantries, Food providers, Women Infants and Children (WIC), IFAS extension Homeless Services - Homeless shelters Housing Assistance - Florida supportive housing coalition, Public housing Legal Services - Legal services Handicapped and Protective Services - Adult protective services, Agency for persons with disabilities, Group care facilities, The arc of Florida, Service centers for the deaf, Vocational rehab, Service centers for the blind
The data for each of the subtypes included in the social services layer was derived from an online source. The data from these websites were copied and pasted into text files and edited to enable easy exportation into an excel file. The excel file was edited further to improve formatting. The social services records in the excel file were then geocoded using an address geocoder to create a shapefile, presenting the social services locations in geographical space.
The following fields were added to the social services layer: DESCRIPT, FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, FGDLAQDATE, OPERATING, OP_CLASS
These social services locations were then checked for accuracy. Locations were checked using imagery, Google Street View, and internet queries. Good records were retained, bad records or duplicates were removed, and records were marked as Verified or Not Verified in the FLAG field. Extraneous fields were removed from the attribute information.
