Interorganizational Collaboration and Policy Reform: Moving Young Families on Welfare Out of Poverty.

Environmental factors such as broader policy reforms can often affect inter-organizational collaboration. This learning case showcases how recent reforms within California's Welfare-to-Work programming impacted an innovative interorganizational collaboration focused on moving young families out of poverty. Such policy changes have brought in state funded mandates that have affected established collaborative arrangements. The case thereby raises questions necessitating the needs of partners involved to see how the goals of their respective programs can be mutually reinforcing, and to keep them focused on their shared vision of family well-being.
