Capitalization of social service nonprofit activities
Non-profit service providers often face local opposition due to dispersed social benefits, but concentrated costs. Using nationwide U.S. data, we find opening a non-profit homeless service provider is capitalized into home values in the surrounding zip code, increasing values by 1.2%, using a difference-in-differences design, comparing zip codes that open their first provider to neighbouring zip codes without one. The relationship is even stronge…
With or without you
Research has identified conditions that facilitate collaboration among local governments, but little attention has been given to how local governments’ autonomy affects their willingness to participate in interlocal collaboration. This study addresses this gap by examining the influence of increased local autonomy from home rule on local governments’ economic development collaboration. Using a fuzzy regression discontinuity design and Illinois mu…
Does digitally induced task integration improve user outcomes
Driven by digital transformation, task integration across and within different organizations eases recipients’ access to service delivery. Applied to the case of the Employment and Welfare Plus Center (EWPC) in South Korea, this study examines how digitally induced task integration into a one-stop shop relates with user outcomes. By using a two-way fixed estimator, the study finds one-stop shops do not relate with better user outcomes. EWPC may f…
Cultural Competence in Community‐Level Initiatives to Advance Racial Equity in Homeless Services
This study investigates how organizations in collaborative networks in the United States address racial inequality in homelessness through cultural competence continuum and actionable initiatives. Conducting a content analysis, we deductively and inductively code the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) funding applications to identify the cultural competency of actions for homelessness taken by CoCs. CoCs mo…
Still Unplugged
Situated in a context of rapid technological innovation, coupled with federal and state efforts to foster sustainability, the continued growth of electric vehicle adoption presents new challenges concerning the capacity of existing transportation infrastructure. This study explores the diffusion, adoption, and prospects for adoption of a new technology: battery electric vehicles within local government fleets. Coupling archival data of municipal …
Does merging mandated collaborative governance networks improve community-based community outputs
Service providers’ competing for resources when solving complex public problems often worsens community outcomes. In these situations, a higher authority may mandate collaboration, although little research has explored the optimal scope of the collaboration. This study examines the relationship between merging mandated collaborative networks and community outputs within the context of homeless services within the United States. Using a non-direct…
The effect of merging mandated collaborations on performance in homeless services
Mandated collaboration forces a tension, where organizations must work together to create a strong collaboration while pursuing their organizational missions. Merging these mandated collaborations can increase collaboration, but at the cost of local responsiveness. We ask whether merging mandated collaborations improves performance at the community, collaboration, and organization levels in the case of homeless services. We find merging CoCs did …
Navigating service pathways out of youth homelessness
Social equity for wicked problems
Some scholars argue that equity cannot be a separate pillar of public management; it must intersect with its core theories and elements. By using mixed-methods in studying racial equity in homelessness, we forge connections between public management – leadership, planning, collaboration, budgeting, implementation, and evaluation – and social equity – representation, procedural fairness, access, quality, and outcomes – to develop the Social Equity…
Break my stride? The impact of collaboration entrants on community-level performance for economic development
While prior studies note that interlocal collaborations sometimes change their member composition, the relationship between membership changes and the community-level performance of interlocal collaborations is unclear. This study attempts to provide evidence by exploring the impact of entrants on the performance of Illinois enterprise zones. We conducted event study analyses to estimate the plausibly causal relationship between entrants and comm…
Do Criminalization Policies Impact Local Homelessness
Local criminalization policies draw on the logic of deterrence to levy costs on individuals who engage in behaviors that are closely associated with various public concerns, such as those criminalizing behaviors associated with homelessness, thereby potentially reducing community‐level costs. Yet, it is unclear whether the presence of these policies can be relied upon to reduce the frequency of a social crisis within a local municipality. To answ…
Am I My Brothers’ Keeper? A Critical Review of Mandated Collaboration Research
To synthesize and examine the growing literature on mandated collaboration, we conducted a critical literature review of the growing literature on mandated collaboration, asking what the field of public administration knows about its purposes, mechanisms, contexts, and performances. Mandated collaboration occurs when a third party requires and enforces collaboration among other potential collaborators. We find four takeaways: (a) mandators requir…

Applying organizational density to local public service performance
What happens to local services’ performance when service-provider density increases in a community? The answer is difficult. To explore how density relates to multiple aspects of performance, this study aims to examine the effects of service-providers’ density on service outputs and policy outcomes. Using a panel dataset of local homeless service planning bodies, the Continuum of Care Programme, we found that service outputs improved; however, th…
The Dynamics and Measurement of High School Homelessness and Achievement
How school districts measure homelessness among their students has implications for accountability and funding, as well as for supporting student success. Yet, measuring homelessness among high school students is challenging because students move in and out of experiencing it. Using administrative student-level data from a mid-sized public school district in the southern United States, we show that different commonly used procedures to measure wh…
What Does it Mean to be Homeless? How Definitions Affect Homelessness Policy
Government agencies use varying criteria in defining homelessness. While scholars debate over and use different definitions of homelessness, little research has explored the impacts the definition has on perceived problem severity and the types of communities receiving aid. I first explore four definitions of child and youth homelessness used by United States’ federal agencies. I then use panel data for school districts, which report homelessness…
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Why Participants Leave Collaborative Governance Arrangements
What drives collaborating participants to leave collaborative arrangements? Collaboration is a dynamic and emergent process rather than a static condition. Previous studies focus on collaboration’s emergence and performance; few empirical studies examine why participants stop collaborating. We address this question by studying how the history and structure of the Illinois enterprise zone program relate to local governments’ renewing enterprise zo…

Do Federal Grants for Medication-Assisted Opioid Treatment Reduce Homelessness
The federal government awarded $115 million to local entities between 2015 and 2018 for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs to treat opioid use disorder. These programs integrate the use of medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to reduce withdrawal symptoms and other adverse, individual-level effects of opioid misuse. Mounting evidence shows the benefits of MAT interventions among individuals, but little is known of whethe…
Complementary policies for multidimensional problems
Governments use multiple policies targeting different severities of housing insecurity to address multidimensional urban problems such as homelessness, where poverty and unaffordable housing intertwine with many causes and contexts. Previous studies have focused on the determinants of housing insecurity or using affordable housing alone but not on how using multiple policies jointly reduces homelessness. We explore if affordable housing created b…
