Abstract: Excerpt from the Introduction: For convenience in presentation, the materials have been divided into six major categories, according to the subject matter with which they are principally concerned, namely: (1) The general study of poverty; (2) Community and neighborhood organization and planning; (3) Employment, unemployment and job training; (4) Education; (5) Health, welfare and related activities; and (6) Housing and urban renewal. Each major category has been subdivided in turn into five sub-categories, according to the focus which is brought to bear in the study -- (A) Studies which are primarily general in character; (B) Studies in which the principal concern is a particular geographical area – a region, a state or a locality; and finally, studies which are primarily focused on particular segments of the population, including (C) Youth; (D) The aged, chronically ill or handicapped; and (E) Minority groups.
