Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A frontburner issue on the public policy agenda today is the increased use of partnerships between government and nongovernmental entities, including faithbased social service organizations. In the wake of President Bush's faithbased initiative, many are still wondering about the effectiveness of these faithbased organizations in providing services to those in need, and whether they provide better outcomes than more traditional government, secular nonprofit, and forprofit organizations. In Faith, Hope, and Jobs, Stephen V. Monsma and J. Christopher Soper study the effectiveness of 17 different welfaretowork programs in Los Angeles Countya county in which the U.S. government spends 14% of its entire welfare budgetand offer groundbreaking insight into understanding what works and what doesn't.Monsma and Soper examine client assessment of the programs, their progress in developing attitudes and resources important for finding selfsupporting employment, and their experience in finding actual employment. The study reveals that the clients of the more explicitly faithbased programs did best in gaining in social capital and were highly positive in evaluating the religious components of their programs. Forprofit programs tended to do the best in terms of their clients finding employment. Overall, the religiously active respondents tended to experience better outcomes than those who were not religiously active but surprisingly, the religiously active and nonactive tended to do equally well in faithbased programs.Faith, Hope, and Jobs concludes with three sets of concrete recommendations for public policymakers, social service program managers, and researchers.
