  • Bringing the Campus to the Community: an Examination of the Clark University Park Partnership After Ten Years
    Bringing the Campus to the Community: An Examination of the Clark University Park Partnership after Ten Years John Brown Jacqueline Geoghegan © 2007 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Working Paper The findings and conclusions of this paper are not subject to detailed review and do not necessarily reflect the official views and policies of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Please do not photocopy without permission of the Institute. Contact the Institute directly with all questions or requests for permission. ([email protected]) Lincoln Institute Product Code: WP07JB2 Abstract This case study examines a campus-community partnership conducted by Clark University, the University Park Partnership. Since 1995, this partnership has focused on improving educational opportunities and other neighborhood amenities for residents of the target zone. The study compares developments in the market for housing inside and outside of the target zone after establishment of the partnership. Although the turnover of properties changed little, owner-occupancy within the target zone increased substantially. Evidence from repeat-sales indices and hedonic analysis of the sales prices of homes points to a significant capitalization of benefits within the target zone. About the Authors John C. Brown is a Professor of Economics and teaches in the Urban Development and Social Change Concentration at Clark University. His affiliations include the NBER and the Leverhulme Center for Globalisation and Economic Policy. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1987. His research interests are in historical urban and international economics. He has researched housing, labor markets, public health and demographic change in the context of rapid urbanization.

  • Regions II and III TANF Directors Meeting, PA
    RAPID RESPONSE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE TO NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF) Regions II and III TANF Directors Meeting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania April 26 - 27, 2005 Overview The enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) in 1996 provided States the flexibility to develop TANF programs geared toward assisting families achieve self-sufficiency. The requirement that an increasing proportion of a state’s TANF caseload participate in specified work activities that encourage self-sufficiency is a significant feature of the PRWORA legislation. States in Regions II and III have been successful in helping families move to work, addressing the goal of self-sufficiency and meeting the required participation rates with the assistance of the caseload reduction credit. PRWORA, which was to expire on September 30, 2002, has been extended through a series of continuing resolutions while reauthorization legislation is considered by Congress. Though reauthorization of the TANF statute has not yet occurred, the proposed bills each include some level of increase to the number of hours of work required each week and the percentage of the caseload that must be working. Proposed legislation also includes either an elimination or recalibration of the caseload reduction credit that allows the state to lower its required participation rate. An employment credit has also been proposed that would allow states to include, for a period of time, those who have recently left TANF due to wages. The Regional Offices regularly hold meetings for State TANF Directors and policy managers to focus on issues impacting the operation of the TANF Program. These meetings provide an opportunity to promote and enhance collaboration and partnerships within the region, among states and with the Regional Office.
