Presenting recent studies of non-profit organizations involved in
poverty relief services in New York City in comparison with
programmes in existence across the US, Street Practice provides a
front-line, ground-level perspective on innovative research
practices designed to solve community problems. It explores the
manner in which organizations bridge the gap between research and
policy advocacy, with an account of the ways in which research
contributes to alleviating or solving a community problem, as well
as details on successes and failures of advocacy work, problems and
limitations of their research, funding constraints and political
resistance. As such, this book not only offers compelling examples
of social change in action, but also serves to introduce models for
research and policy advocacy that can be applied similarly in other
urban areas. Adopting a case-based learning approach that enables
readers to better understand the dynamic process of research and
policy advocacy, this innovative book will appeal to those with
interests in poverty, homelessness, policy advocacy, social work
and social change.
