| dc.description.abstract | There is a growing sense of urgency to improve policy and programmatic outcomes in urban neighborhoods with persistently-high concentrations of poverty. In the United States, the population in extreme-poverty neighborhoods rose more than twice as fast as suburbs and cities, as a whole, in the last decade after declining in the 1990s. The population in extreme-poverty neighborhoods - where at least 40 percent of individuals live below the poverty line rose by one- third during this period. Poor people in cities remain more than four times as likely to live in concentrated poverty neighborhoods (Kneebone, Nadeau, and Berube, 2011). Studies have found that poor individuals and families are not evenly distributed across communities or throughout the country. Instead, they tend to live near one another, clustering in certain neighborhoods and regions (Kingsley, Coulton, Pettit, 2014). his concentration of poverty results in higher crime rates, underperforming public schools, poor housing and health conditions, as well as limited access to private services and job opportunities. The urgency and complexity of concentrated poverty issues places a burden on community development organizations generally strapped of financial resources and with limited management capacity. The use of transparent and effective performance management techniques can be an important planning and administrative tool for community development organizations involved in the delivery of programs and services to neighborhoods with high concentrations of poverty. | |
