Cooperative federalism: Welfare reform in Florida

Cooperative federalism: Welfare reform in Florida.
Creator
Smart, Nicole Kimberly., Florida Atlantic University, Turner, Robyne
Abstract/Description
State governments and the federal government, working together, implement more policy innovation in welfare reform. When the federal government dominated welfare policy, only three acts passed, all 20+ years apart--the 1935 Social Security Act, 1964 Economic Opportunity Act and 1988 Family Support Act. Then states, like Florida, became more involved in welfare reform through state waivers after the Family Support Act. Money, voter perceptions, and the states avoidance of becoming welfare...
Show moreState governments and the federal government, working together, implement more policy innovation in welfare reform. When the federal government dominated welfare policy, only three acts passed, all 20+ years apart--the 1935 Social Security Act, 1964 Economic Opportunity Act and 1988 Family Support Act. Then states, like Florida, became more involved in welfare reform through state waivers after the Family Support Act. Money, voter perceptions, and the states avoidance of becoming welfare magnets led to the shift of control to the states. All of their actions had to be approved by federal government state waivers. Florida, being influenced by the federal welfare dependency and culture of poverty ideologies did more in the next few years than the federal government did in the 60 years prior. The federal 1996 Welfare Reconciliation Act continues the partnership by them still working together and more policy innovation continuing to to be seen in welfare reform.

Show moreThis dissertation develops an approach and a model for assessing the effectiveness of faith-based and secular community development corporations (CDCs) in the provision of economic development and other services. This dissertation contends that faith-based and secular CDCs are essentially comparable entities whose characteristics and functions are virtually indistinguishable, thus to speak of organizational effectiveness of CDCs is sufficient to encompass both faith-based and secular CDCs. The study uses an empirical approach, directed by the literature, to discover the characteristics and functions of faith-based and secular CDCs, the extent to which they are involved in economic development activities, and to determine the key factors that are presumed to contribute to their effectiveness. A regression model is developed employing variables and data resulting from a survey of CDCs in the South Florida area to predict and explain the variance in the subjective rating of the perception of organizational effectiveness by executive directors and managers of CDCs in the study population. The study tests a number of hypotheses that are designed to explain the influence of certain variables on organizational effectiveness and discovers a number of factors that are statistically significant in influencing perceived effectiveness. It proposes future areas of research that build upon the current research and may lead to even better understanding of the factors influencing organizational effectiveness of CDCs.
