Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Great Recession, nonprofits experienced unprecedented financial strain while demand for their services increased (Anheier, 2007; Golden et al., 2009; Johnson, 2011). This research focuses on nonprofit housing development organizations (NHDOs) in California during the years 2000-2010. NHDOs typically develop and manage housing, in addition to providing social services for low-income persons. Over the past 20 years, many NHDOs have struggled to maintain adequate capital and operating reserves to preserve their affordable housing stock (Bratt et al., 1998). For NHDOs, these financial issues were exacerbated by the housing and economic crises, in addition to the recent elimination of the State of California Redevelopment Agency funds in 2012. A few researchers have studied the effects of the economic crisis on the nonprofit sector, but none have systematically analyzed outcomes for NHDOs. This dissertation is divided into five chapters: Chapter 1: Literature Review, Chapter 2: Research Methods, Chapter 3: Bivariate and Multivariate Analysis, Chapter 4: Qualitative Interviews, and Chapter 5: Analysis of Findings. My dissertation addresses the research question: how were nonprofit housing development organizations affected by the Great Recession that began in 2007? It quantifies the effects of the housing and economic crises on NHDOs regarding survival and revenue. This mixed-methods research has: (1) a quantitative component with bivariate and multivariate analyses from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 990 tax form data of about 800 nonprofit housing developers, and (2) a qualitative component with findings from 18 interviews of executive directors and managers of nonprofit developers and housing associations to assess how and why these organizations experienced variations in survival and revenue. In many ways, the factors that determined a NHDOs' sustainabilty and performance were similar to for-profit and other nonprofit entities. For example, older and larger organizations with more staff and revenue tended to fare better during this ten-year time period. Other factors were unique to the affordable housing sector. The region and type of housing developed by the nonprofit affected outcomes. For example, NHDOs who were predominately general housing developers (rather than specialists in senior or rental housing) were less likely to survive. NHDOs in urban areas, such as the Los Angeles and San Francisco regions, had higher survival rates. In contrast, NHDOs in exurban and rural areas, e.g. the San Joaquin Valley region, were less likely to survive. An unexpected finding was reliance on government funding was negatively associated with NHDO's survival and revenue. This may be an indicator of how government funding decreased or was unstable during this time period. With funding cutbacks on all levels of government (federal, state, and local), NHDOs had to strategically manage their housing development pipeline, real estate portfolios, staffing levels, programs, and services. Organizations that survived and performed well exhibited the following characteristics: (1) diversified funding sources, (2) benefited from agglomeration effects, (3) implemented adaptive management, and (4) established partnerships, joint ventures, and mergers. The lessons and management tactics learned from these NHDOs inform other organizations about how to survive and thrive during tough economic times.
Download or read book Sharing Housing written by Annamarie Pluhar and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book maps out the path from the original thought, “Maybe I should find a housemate,” to actually living with one. Like a guidebook for tourism or hiking, this book describes the milestones and choices on the path. Pluhar shows where the traps and snags are, as well as where the well-trodden and proven paths can be found. There are stories about others who are sharing housing and the methods they have found that work for them. Like finding a job, finding a good housemate is a process with definite steps and decisions. This book maps that process, with helpful advice about what to look for, what to avoid, and when specific actions need to be taken. In conjunction with her blog, www.sharinghousing.com, Pluhar provides worksheets in the book as well as on the website for downloading. This book will hold the hand of the people seeking good housemates—the ones with whom they would wish to live in harmony and comfort.

Book excerpt: Nonprofit housing organizations primarily exist to address the housing needs of low-income residents, whose housing needs are not sufficiently met by the public or private housing market. NHOs are very similar to private corporations in their size, productivity and commitment to the "bottom line." However, unlike private firms, NHOs are "mission driven" instead profit-driven corporations. The development of affordable housing in the nonprofit housing sector requires a myriad of financial and non-financial resources. As competition for financial resources intensifies many organizations are adopting strategies as a means to not only reduce organizational uncertainty and sustain them, but also increase or maintain organizational capacity. The evolution of the role of nonprofit organizations coupled with market pressures such as attracting investment, competing for clients, and retaining and hiring skilled employees shapes the need for them to adopt market culture strategies (Salamon, 1999). A key strategy of market culture is collaboration (Frost and Sullivan, 2006). This dissertation study was designed to examine interorganizational relationships between nonprofit housing organizations in the Richmond Metropolitan area, and the influence of organizational characteristics, environmental conditions, and resource availability on an organization's Level of Collaboration. Furthermore, the study examined the attitudes and perceptions of executive directors of collaboration. The primary research question is: Do nonprofit housing organizations display identifiable patterns of relationships with each other? This study contributes several important findings to furthering the understanding of collaboration within the nonprofit sector, and the relationship between organizational characteristics, environmental conditions, and resource availability and an organization's Level of Collaboration (interorganizational relationships). Study findings convey that the examination of the network itself using social network analysis is a useful tool for examining relationships and identifying opportunities for collaboration. For this network it revealed that the organizations interact on an informal basis as well as identified the prominent actors are in the network. The findings of this study suggests that there are two key factors that influence nonprofit organizations establishing relationships interorganizational learning and personal characteristics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This professional report examines the key contextual and organizational factors affecting community development corporations (CDCs) in the development of affordable housing. Using the findings of a systematic case study carried out by William Rohe and Rachel Bratt, I offer a detailed discussion of these factors in the context of a number of case studies, including an extensive discussion of the life cycle of Eastside Community Investments (ECI), a CDC that served the Near Eastside Neighborhood in Indianapolis, Indiana. Following this discussion, I explore a number of policy implications of this case study for the community development sector. The effective production of affordable housing involves a number of key players, including CDCs themselves, their intermediaries, the government, and the community; the active participation and commitment of all of these organizations is crucial to the long-term sustained success of the entire industry.

This book was released on 2018-08-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.
