Service Coordination to Achieve Results in Promise Neighborhoods
Author: The Center for the Study of Social Policy | Year of Publication: 2010
This paper shares several observations derived from the history and difficulty of coordinating services in past initiatives.

Second, this requires an agreed on set of results developed through a collaborative process that recognizes a shared responsibility and accountability.
