The sample consisted of 3,570 African Americans and 1,621 Blacks of Caribbean descent drawn from …

Manual and electronic searches were conducted, with two coders independently reviewi…

Family-Centered, Community-Based Asset Building: A Strategic Use of Individual Development Accounts
This research examines individual development account (IDA) programs as part of a broader community development strategy for low-income/low-wealth communities, particularly communities of color.

Leveling the Playing Field: Epitomizing Devolution through Faith-Based Organizations
The original New-Federalism agenda that emerged with the Reagan administration weakened federal programs and transferred power to states and localities. While Ronald Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush's years were characterized by block grants and dismantling public assistance, the Clinton years will be remembered for the dismantling of AFDC. Recruiting faith-based organizations to provide social services epitomized the second Bush presidency.…
The Other Philadelphia Story: How Local Congregations Support Quality of Life in Urban America
For many living in U.S. cities, social services come not from the government but from local churches.

Fruitful Partnerships in a Rural African American Community: Important Lessons for Faith-Based Initiatives
Rural African American congregations often have been pitted against their urban counterparts, with the urban churches viewed as superior social agents with a wider range of community services. An examination of social service provision in rural areas is necessary because both policy and programmatic responsibilities increasingly are delegated to state and local governance and ultimately to local communities. Legislation referred to as Charitable …
