Could you please help me interpret what this sentence is saying?

"A number of common themes emerge from the perspectives of these Linkages stakeholders. "

Linkage is a service in California that tries to collaborate with social services, (stakeholders), for funding. However, these services (stakeholders) do not utilize Linkage help and turn people away. I just need help interpreting the sentence. I am not sure what it is saying. This is how it started in the discussion article.
