Residential Alienation, Home Ownership And The Limits Of Shelter Policy, Peter Marcuse
Residential Alienation, Home Ownership And The Limits Of Shelter Policy, Peter Marcuse
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
There is greater public confusion over housing policy today than there has been in any comparable period in the last thirty years. The Nixon-Ford administration's wholesale program terminations and budget slashes only cloak the problem temporarily. Everyone agrees that the ostrich ought to get his head out of the sand, but few agree where he should go once he doel so. Housing allowances, at this point, seem to many the best answei; at least they haven't been proven wanting yet. But others disagree, and certainly there is reason to be wary.
Environmental Influences On Decisions Regarding Structure And Function Of Homes For The Aged, Jordan I. Kosberg
Environmental Influences On Decisions Regarding Structure And Function Of Homes For The Aged, Jordan I. Kosberg
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Many of the stereotypes of homes for the aged* are carryovers from the past. By and large, these homes had rather limited objectives which revolved around the notion that homes should be custodial institutions. It can be said that these institutions had been extensions of the poor farm, giving shelter (and little more) to the aged who had nowhere else to go.

The nature of American society during these years (before urbanization and large-scale industrialization) …

The moving process, whether forced or voluntary, involves the following phases: a decision to change the place of residence, an exploration of housing opportunities in various areas, the final selection of one of these, activities associated with making the move, and activities associated with getting settled in the new house and neighborhood.
Social Work Practice And The Social Context, Jeffry Galper
Social Work Practice And The Social Context, Jeffry Galper
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Any effort to define appropriate tasks and directions for social work practice must necessarily come to grips with some analysis of the particular social-political-historical situation within which that practice is being formulated. Too often it seems as though we attempt to define practice abstracted from the particular period in which that practice takes place. It is true, on the one hand, that it is important to develop generic principles of practice. Similarly, it is true that the definition of the social work task is not a matter left solely to the discretion of the profession. In fact, the profession may …
