Accessibility and Stability of Nonprofit Service Providers: Faith-Based and Community-Based Organizations in Urban and Rural America (Chapter 4)

This study examined the role of faith-based and secular community-based nonprofit service organizations in providing a safety net for the poor in urban and rural America. It explored whether certain types of faith-based or secular nonprofit service organizations are more accessible to poor populations than others, how faith- based organizations (FBOs) and secular nonprofit service organizations are funded, and whether service provision is more stable and consistent across FBOs than secular organizations.
