Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has been funding Community Outreach Partnership Centers (COPC) as are part of its �community building� initiative since 1995. Using a quasi-experimental research design, we identify and measure the network structure of affordable and fair housing partnerships in 12 cities that have COPC funded Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) and 12 cities with IHEs that did not received COPC funding. We argue that networks form the core of community development initiatives. This paper examines the effectiveness of networks in planning and implementing redistributive programs in the policy area of safe, decent and affordable housing. Data is generated from a survey of 24 cities and a quasi-experimental design is used to test for the differences in network structures of community development efforts.
