The Depression and the New Deal forced charities into a new
relationship with public welfare. After opposing public 'relief'
for a generation, charities embraced it in the 1930s as a means to
save a crippled voluntary sector from collapse. Welfare was to be
delivered by public institutions, which allowed charities to offer
and promote specialised therapeutic services such as marriage
counselling - a popular commodity in postwar America. But as Andrew
Morris shows in this book, these new alignments were never entirely
stable. In the 1950s, charities' ambiguous relationship with
welfare drove them to aid in efforts to promote welfare reform by
modelling new techniques for dealing with 'multiproblem families'.
The War on Poverty, changes in federal social service policy, and
the slow growth of voluntary fundraising in the late 1960s
undermined the New Deal division of labour and offered charities
the chance to deliver public services - the paradigm at the heart
of debates on public funding of religious non-profits.
