Mobilizing Communities cover

As communities face new social and economic challenges as well as political changes, the responsibilities for social services, housing needs, and welfare programs are being placed at the local government level. But can community-based organizations address these concerns effectively? The editors and contributors to Mobilizing Communities explore how these organizations are responding to these challenges, and how asset-based development efforts can be successful.

“Green and Goetting begin Mobilizing Communities with an excellent overview of the strategies employed by needs-based and asset-based community development [ABCD] efforts.... accessible to most audiences…Mobilizing Communities is a welcome addition to the community development literature."
