Social Justice Manifest: A University-Community Partnership to Promote the Individual Right to Housing
Patterson, David A.; Cronley, Courtney; West, Stacia; Lantz, Jennifer
Journal of Social Work Education, v50 n2 p234-246 2014
This article examines an ongoing university-community relationship that fuses innovative technology delivery, university-outreach research, and social work practice/research education into a unique, collaborative intervention to reduce homelessness. In doing so, we apply a social justice framework to homelessness, arguing that housing is a right rather than a privilege. In the case study, a university, in partnership with a local homeless coalition, maintains a management information system to collect and analyze real-time data on homelessness in the community. The overarching social justice intention of this partnership is to improve client outcomes for homeless individuals by producing community-based research to inform policy decisions for governmental and organizational partners.
