Description
One of the most significant consequences of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 (P. L. 104-193) was its impact on the decades-old partnership between the state and the voluntary sector. It affected relationships among nonprofit organizations as well as those between nonprofit agencies and public welfare departments (Bloom, 1997; Burt, Pindus, & Gapizzano, 2000; Cnaan, Wineburg, & Boddie, 1999). Little research has assessed how the legislation affected the patterns of interorganizational relationships that have emerged among providers (Allen & Kirby, 2000; Besharov, Germanis, & Rossi, 1997; Hassett & Austin, 1997; Perlmutter, 1997). Most recent research on the organizational effects of PRWORA has focused on public agencies (Carnochan & Austin, 1999), with only a few studies examining its effects on private nonprofit organizations (Alexander, 2000; Withorn, 1999). Research on community well-being, however, has long established the importance of organizational infrastructure at the neighborhood level (Etzioni, 1996; Figueira-McDonough, 1995; Warren, 1970). Other research has revealed how changes in nonprofits' external environment produce new patterns of intraorganizational behavior and interorganizational relationships, including alternative resource development strategies and the creation or expansion of collaboratives and networks (Alexander; Bischoff, 2001; Bischoff & Reisch, 2000; Bielefeld & Scotch, 1998; Reitan, 1998).
