A Community in Transition: A Statistical Study of the Changed Composition, Needs and Resources of the Astoria-Long Island City Area During the Years 1940-1957, Based on the Records of the Astoria Office of the Family Division, Brooklyn Catholic Charities
Abstract
Background and Timeliness of the Study, In 1937, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Brooklyn opened an office of their Family Division in Astoria, Queens. This office, a branch of the borough central office in Jamaica, was assigned as its territory a relatively small geograpical area in western Queens. The particular reasons for setting aside this area as a separate territory were two : its remoteness from the central office and the consequent travel difficulties involved in using that office on a continued basis; second, the large population concentrated in this sector which justified the establishment of a separate office for its exclusive use.
