Resettled Refugees and African Americans in the Same Neighborhoods
After resettlement, refugees are situated to navigate new environments and social relationships with nonrefugee residents in the United States. This study focuses on the intergroup dynamics between refugees and native African American residents with whom refugees often share spatial boundaries in urban neighborhoods. Based on 30 in-depth interviews in Albany, NY and Clarkson, GA, our findings suggest that both groups share the experiences of soci…

Understanding service navigation pathways and service experiences among homeless populations
Previous homelessness research examined common pathways into homelessness, yet not much is known about how people navigate through services while experiencing homelessness. This study explored the service pathways of homeless individuals in the U.S. context, which show their connection with multiple organizations and their lived experiences of using services over time. We conducted 12 semi-structured in-depth interviews to grasp the history of se…
Food Pantries and Food Deserts
Access to emergency food is critical for the survival and health of vulnerable populations, but its importance is not understood in the context of food deserts. Using a cross-sectional survey based on Albany and Troy, New York, we compared the two food desert models, one based on paid (e.g., grocery stores) and the other based on free food options (e.g., emergency food sites such as pantries and soup kitchens). Structural equation modeling was co…

“Do You Know How Much I Suffer?”
The emergence of mental distress presents significant difficulties and dilemmas for adolescents and early adults about being open with their troubles and emotions. To better understand the communication practices and challenges that reflect the lived realities of marginalized youth struggling with mental health disruption, this study examines 136 anonymous personal stories disclosing self-harm behaviors or suicidal thoughts on a Facebook "secrets…
Coordination Networks among Local Human Service Organizations
This article examines service coordination patterns across various service areas in Albany, the capital city of the New York State. Based on 42 in-person interviews with executive directors at various human service agencies, inter-organizational network was constructed and analyzed. The network displayed sparse and multipolar connectivity, suggesting that organizations operate in silos, with few organizations holding key positions of structural i…
Business Improvement District
Business improvement districts (BIDs) are self‐help organizations that collect resources to manage and improve commercial areas. As local governments have cut back on the delivery of services, local stakeholders such as property owners and business owners have initiated new roles in providing private services to their surroundings. The emergence of BIDs represents a shift in the main actors that contribute to district management and local revital…
The role of local businesses in addressing multidimensional needs of homeless populations
Contrary to the perception that the business community can be hostile and exclusive toward individuals experiencing homelessness, local businesses can and do serve homeless populations at multiple levels. This article proposes a theoretical framework that links the versatile roles that local businesses can play in addressing various dimensions of human needs. This theoretical framework is illustrated through two models in Washington, D.C. and Los…
Residual Inequity
Energy policies and public health are intimately intertwined. In New York City, a series of policies, known as the Clean Heat Program (CHP), were designed to reduce air pollution by banning residual diesel fuel oils, #6 in 2015 and #4 by 2030. This measure is expected to yield environmental and public health benefits over time. While there is near-universal compliance with the #6 ban, a substantial number of buildings still use #4. In this paper,…
A case study in public child welfare
Racial disproportionality has been a longstanding issue within child welfare. The continued overrepresentation of black children in the foster care system is troubling. The authors of this article conducted a case study of two counties in New York State that have steadily decreased the number of black children in foster care in an effort to identify what aspects of their child welfare practice impacted the decline. The case study employed documen…
Multidimensional access to financial services
Although better access to financial services is known to lead to various economic opportunities, most studies have approached ‘access’ as a one-dimensional variable, such as availability of services or distance to services. This study proposes approaching access as a multidimensional concept and examining its impact on household economic outcomes. Using panel survey data collected in Indonesia between 2000 and 2014, this study examines how econom…

Microfinance resonates with core social work values and benefits from social work skills such as ho…
Struggles to form business improvement districts (BIDs) in Los Angeles
Autonomous efforts to improve local business environments have become an increasingly important impetus for economic development. Business improvement districts (BIDs), as one of such autonomous organisations, have clearly demonstrated benefits for promoting commercial areas over the last two decades. When BIDs spread over a city, however, not every commercial district succeeds in establishing BIDs despite some initial efforts. This research exam…
Social Work–Business Sector Collaboration in Pursuit of Economic Justice
This article examines social workers’ perceptions, experiences, and prospects regarding working in the business sector after participating in an MSW field practicum with a local microlending program. Social workers’ insights suggest that cross-sector collaboration leads to vast opportunities not only for the populations served by the collaborative efforts, but also for social work as a profession. However, several challenges are revealed, includi…

Social Work’s Role in Ending the Criminalization of Homelessness
Historically, homeless people have been viewed as deviant, immoral, and in need of management. In particular, behaviors associated with street homelessness, such as panhandling and public drinking, triggered negative perceptions of homeless populations from the early 1900s to the late 1950s (Howard, 2013). Although the legal community made some efforts to decriminalize vagrancy and public intoxication in the 1960s, the intersection of homelessnes…
Development of Chinese enclaves in the Seoul-Incheon metropolitan area, South Korea
Ethnic enclaves are emerging in the Seoul metropolitan areas. Some ethnic enclaves have been developed to become tourist spots while others have evolved into semi-slums. This study examines how Chinese enclaves have evolved in relation to the provisions of government policy and the demands of natives towards the enclaves. This study compares three major Chinese enclaves: one that has become an official Chinatown, one that struggled to become a Ch…

Ecological Factors and Adolescent Marijuana Use
The findings suggest that "poverty", "crime", and "drug problems" may not be synonyms and thus can be understood discretely. As Latin American countries re-examine their drug policies, especially those concerning decriminalizing marijuana use, the findings suggest that attempts to reduce adolescent marijuana use in disadvantaged neighborhoods may do best if efforts are concentrated on specific features of the "substance abuse environment
