FEATURED PUBLICATION: Voices from the Field III Voices from the Field III: Lessons and Challenges from Two Decades of Community Change Efforts, by Anne C. Kubisch, Patricia Auspos, Prudence Brown, and Tom Dewar, came out in September of 2010, and was recently featured in Evidence Matters, a new publication from HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research. Here are some of the things people are saying about Voices III: “I must tell you that I think your review of the community change field is the best, most honest and wisest review of any social programming or policy field that I have ever read. We might actually make progress if there was more thinking like that. Congratulations on an excellent piece of work!” - Gary Walker, President Emeritus Public/Private Ventures |
“Yet another herculean feat. The latest “Voices from the Field” is an astonishing, substance-filled accomplishment. The best part is that, when you re-read the first two volumes and then this one, you really can see what we are learning and evolving as a field! It doesn’t always feel this way on a day-to-day basis, but these books have really marked the path. They’ve laid bread crumbs along the route we’ve taken and shines a spotlight on the path ahead. So thank you for that.” - Elwood Hopkins, Emerging Markets
“This book is required reading, and everyone should study Chapter 6 on “Lessons to Improve the Design and Implementation of Community Change Efforts.”” - Sterling Speirn, President, W. K. Kellogg Foundation
