Sharing the inspiring story of one such partnership, Corey Shdaimah, Roland Stahl, and Sanford F. Schram recount their efforts working with an affordable housing coalition in Philadelphia, helping activists research low-income home ownership and repair. Their collaboration helped create the Philadelphia Housing Trust Fund, which funnels millions of dollars to people in need. This volume describes the origins of their partnership and its growth, including developing tensions and their diffusion in ways that contributed to the research. The authors personalize methods of research and the possibilities for advocacy, ultimately connecting their encounters to more general, critical themes. Building on the field's commitment to social justice, they effectively demonstrate the potential of change research to facilitate widespread, long-term difference and improve community outcomes. 606 $aHousing$xResearch 606 $aSocial service$xResearch 615 0$aHousing$xResearch. 615 0$aSocial service$xResearch. 676 $a363.5/53072 700 $aShdaimah$b Corey S$0789102 701 $aSchram$b Sanford$01131002 701 $aStahl$b Roland W$01892248 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962320903321 996 $aChange research$94537561 997 $aUNINA
