The Hard-core Family: A Study of Money as a Casework Tool, Used by Catholic Charities Family Service, New York City in Five “Multi-problem Families,” 1963–1964
Abstract
Background of the Study. Suffering families living under the strains and stresses of an inhospitable world have been the focus of literary themes for centuries, but it has been only recently that the phenomenon of families in trouble has been subjected to systematic research. Today studies of this nature are being undertaken in many countries and by several different disciplines. It is a heightened awareness and a concern with the seriously disorganized family that have led public and private welfare agencies all over the nation to establish projects and services on behalf of these families. A survey of the State Charities Aid Association listed ten different programs in the State of New York alone. A survey by the Community Chest and Councils of the Greater Vancouver (BC) Area revealed that as of 1962, at least 14-3 communities out of 260 surveyed in the United States and Canada are engaged in some kind of activity designed to cope with the problem of the multi-problem family.
