Reforming Social Services in New York City - How Major Change Happens in Urban Welfare Policies

"This book examines efforts to respond to the challenging problem of inner-city poverty by examining the shifting policies of New York City's Human Resources Administration (HRA) over the course of six decades. The efforts to redirect an entrenched bureaucracy onto an innovative path have had mixed results, even as the overall history of the HRA has shown what works and what does not work in urban management."--
