Working Under the Safety Net

Working Under the Safety Net focuses on groups most affected by changes in American welfare state policy over the last decade. @3Against the background of a recent intensification of poverty, Burghardt and Fabricant consider six disadvantaged groups -- the homeless, the hungry, the elderly, Black single mothers, the physically disabled and the new unemployed. They analyse the policy debate surrounding the needs of each group; the new type of services, advocacy and empowerment emerging within the groups; and the organizational directions of future agency structure and practices. They also synthesize the policy debate and distil the practical and organizational lessons into a new and exciting framework.Burghardt, Steve F. is the author of 'Working Under the Safety Net', published 1987 under ISBN 9780803927001 and ISBN 0803927002.
