Community-based initiatives (CBIs) attempt to link community participation with service integration to address a wide range of social issues. The promise of CBIs to provide more responsive and cost-effective social services has not been easy to realize. This “case story” illustrates the tensions between the founding principles of service integration and wider community participation. The author concludes that despite good theory, policy makers, social service professionals, and community activists must deal carefully with these natural dynamics to overcome the barriers to successful implementation of CBIs
