The community information service of the Community Chest and Council, Vancouver :a study of the process of community organization in the development of the community information service and a description and evaluation of its operations during an eight month period, 1953-1954McRae, Donalda Elizabeth January 1954 (has links)
The widespread use of modern media of mass communication, the growth of the profession of social work and the direct impact of voluntary and government welfare programs on individual and family life have made the ordinary citizen aware of the existence of health and welfare services in his community. This awareness, however, is often generalized and may not prove sufficient to enable a person, at the point of human need, to communicate with that agency best fitted to serve him. To overcome these barriers in communication and to provide a continuing demonstration of the existence of and the co-operation between social agencies, governmental and voluntary, many communities have developed central information and referral services.
This study seeks first to trace the development of central information services on the North American continent and in Great Britain. The process of community organizations leading to the inauguration of a "Community Information Service" in Vancouver, British Columbia, is described and evaluated, as is the pattern of administration and practice in the Vancouver Information-referral office during the first year of operation on an experimental basis.
To evaluate the role of the Community Information Service, Vancouver, a compilation of inquiries according to source, nature and disposal during an eight month period is presented and analysed. The program of the Community Information Service is studied against six developed criteria. From this basis and from the replies received from eight organizations in response to a questionnaire, reasons for and against the continuation of the service beyond the agreed period of experimentation are presented and equated. Some modifications and simplification of agency structure may be anticipated. Schools of Social Work may lay greater emphasis on generalized preparation for practice. These factors may minimize the need for referral between agencies and with it the need for central referral services. But until the movements described above become more visible, the ordinary man living in a metropolitan area may still benefit from the existence of central information-referral offices. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

A methodology to improve third sector investment strategies: the development and application of a Western Cape based financial resource allocation decision making modelSmit, Andre de Villiers 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DPhill (Social Work))—University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / South Africa has high levels of social need which are steadily growing. While the third
sector is large and contributes substantially to social service provision, it together with
government is seemingly incapable of providing adequate social services, particularly
in the more poverty-stricken rural areas of the country. Among other, at the root of the
third sector’s inability to adequately serve the needy, is a lack of funding caused by
poor funding policies and uninformed financial resource allocation decision making.
As such, this study set out to develop an automated financial resource allocation
decision making model that would provide extensive organised data to better inform the
allocation decision making process – the first component of the study. It was also
purposed to provide a range of otherwise lacking empirical data on the third sector to
determine service and staffing norms, patterns of funding and to assess financial
management of this sector.
In so doing the Community Chest of the Western Cape was selected to serve as the
locus of the study – their existing manual allocation approach was analysed and a new
more sophisticated automated model was developed. Data generated by the model
pointed to a further research need, that of a better understanding of the funding and
financial management practices of the third sector. This gave rise to the third
component of the study, a survey of 232 beneficiary organisations of the Community
Chest. An analysis of the data generated by the model and collected from the survey
highlighted yet another need, the poor financial management acumen of the sector.
In order to address this need and hence the efficacy of the model, a survey of 207
University of Cape Town management accounting students was conducted to determine
the feasibility of using their financial management knowledge and skills to support
financially and IT-illiterate organisations – the fourth component of the study.
The study primarily adopted a quantitative research paradigm; the research design was
exploratory-descriptive and used a primary data design with limited secondary data
analysis. Data was captured in MS Access and analysed using Statistica and MS Excel.
Results indicated that the country’s funding policies were wanting and that the
allocation of state and state-controlled funding agency resources were not being
allocated in concert with adopted policy. In almost all cases the poorer rural areas had
and received fewer resources. Most organisations surveyed were not financially
secured and their ability to fundraise was very limited. Their financial management
ability was not good. Fortunately a substantial number of accounting students indicated
a willingness to improve the financial management ability of such needy organisations.
The study concludes by recommending further development of the model, utilisation of
accounting students and calls for a major assessment of third sector needs, its funding
and financial management. It also recommends the formulation of new funding
policies.

Limitations and liabilities: Flanner House, Planned Parenthood, and African American birth control in 1950s IndianapolisBrown, Rachel Christine 09 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis analyzes the relationship between Flanner House, an African
American settlement house, and Planned Parenthood of Central Indiana to determine why
Flanner House director Cleo Blackburn would not allow a birth control clinic to be
established at the Herman G. Morgan Health Center in 1951. Juxtaposing the scholarship
of African Americans and birth control with the historiography of black settlement
houses leads to the conclusion that Blackburn’s refusal to add birth control to the health
center’s services had little to do with the black Indianapolis community’s opinions on
birth control; instead, Flanner House was confined by conservative limitations imposed
on it by white funders and organizations.
The thesis examines the success of Blackburn and Freeman B. Ransom,
Indianapolis’s powerful black leaders, in working within the system of limitations to
establish the Morgan Health Center in 1947. Ransom and Blackburn received monetary
support from the United Fund, the Indianapolis Foundation, and the U.S. Children’s
Bureau, which stationed one of its physicians, Walter H. Maddux, in Indianapolis. The
Center also worked as a part of the Indianapolis City Board of Health’s public health
program. These organizations and individuals did not support birth control at this time
and would greatly influence Blackburn’s decision about providing contraceptives.
In 1951, Planned Parenthood approached Blackburn about adding birth control to
the services at Morgan Health Center. Blackburn refused, citing the Catholic influence on
the Flanner House board. While acknowledging the anti-birth control stance of
Indianapolis Catholics, the thesis focuses on other factors that contributed to Blackburn’s
decision and argues that the position of Flanner House as a black organization funded by
conservative white organizations had more impact than any religious sentiment; birth
control would have been a liability for the Morgan Health Center as adding
contraceptives could have threatened the funding the Center needed in order to serve the
African American community. Finally, the position of Planned Parenthood and Flanner
House as subordinate organizations operating within the limitations of Indianapolis
society are compared and found to be similar.
