This is the second instalment of a series of studies of the welfare and community aspects of public housing. The first study, entitled Public Housing and Welfare Services, by James S. Brown, David Kogawa, and Raymond Peters (undertaken as theses, now published), extensively reviewed the most relevant recent literature relating to the welfare services required by public housing tenants, as well as issues of community relationships. The present study, on the other hand, focusses on characteristics of families living in the developments, and all that the move to public housing involves for them personally. With this objective, data was obtained from the United States and Britain, and the experience of these countries in the field of public housing was examined. A comparison was made between statistics and related information brought together from both the United States and Britain, and those of the local Vancouver projects, relating to (a) the types of families, the number of children and elderly persons, the age structure of the communities, (b) family incomes and rents, and (c) components of "balance" in the developments. In sum, it has been found that, in general, in all three countries similar family profiles exist, with some exceptions, notably concerning the number of old people. Both in the United States and in the Vancouver projects the proportion of elderly tenants is frequently higher than in British public housing developments. Furthermore, in Britain, where public housing has formed a large part of the housing stock for many years, the standard family of father, mother and children comprise a much greater proportion of the tenant population than is found in the two other countries. On the other hand, there are similarities in the high proportions of children, and of young married couples. The incomes of the majority of tenants are low, and many are supplemented by government assistance benefits. Some common problems emerge relating to difficulties in adapting to the "new" life, and many of these could be alleviated by more awareness of the human aspect of housing, relocation, and services provision on the part of planners, housing authorities, welfare agencies and the general public. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

This study is the initiating phase of a long-range attempt to examine social work intervention in community life. It raises the question "Is it possible to identify both the theoretical concepts which accurately describe community interactions set up by social work intervention, and the variables which are operative in those interactions?" A good deal of attention has been given in recent years to social work attempts to enhance community life. Sociological and other material has been utilized to build social work theory and practice specifics related to community social change and development, but little precision has been achieved. There has been a preoccupation with theory-building itself, particularly in the area of conceptual models, and with social problems in community life, so that systematic observations of what happens when social workers intervene in communities are virtually non-existent. This study has a theory base which seeks to take account of the work that has been done in this area while bearing upon the concrete operations undertaken by actors in community interactions. The major concepts identified as useful for this purpose are: interactional field, action system, intervention, change agent, task and maintenance processes, horizontal and vertical linkages, social process, social structure, social change, and stimuli for social processes. The design of the study lends itself to a field study which can explore variables in observed interactions while making no specific attempt to explore the interactions between variables. An interview schedule is the data-collection instrument utilized. The study reached completion of the pre-test stage, where in two community action episodes involving social workers were studies. No effort was made to analyze data with reference to the variables themselves; the analysis was confined to the implications of the data for the utility and potential utility of the study formulation, design, and instrument. The conclusion drawn at this stage is that the study has potential for the discovery of the variables in interactional fields in community life, if it is modified and applied to an appropriate sample of action episodes. A series of recommendations for the revision of weak elements in the study are submitted for the use of persons interested in continuing the study. These recommendations embrace such issues as the sample size, data-collection revisions (language, explicitness, reliability), number of respondents in each action episode, continuity of data collection from study formulation, specific instructions for data-collection procedures, and the nature of general hypotheses that might be attempted. The study team are optimistic about the promise held out by this line of inquiry for the achievement of a better understanding of the genericity and specificity of social work operations which result from the interaction of method and field in community-oriented social work practice. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate
