“…Frisch and Servon (2006) suggested that the Community Development Corporation model might enable the LGBT community to leverage protection, and especially when confronted by a planning process like Atlanta's that enables fast tracking for development investors and dilutes neighborhood input. Businesses such as bookstores provide essential community gathering places and are important in establishing and maintaining a sense of neighborhood identity.…”

In the past forty years, gay and lesbian populations have established a visible presence in many cities, but recent gentrification has put pressure on LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered) neighborhoods. This article uses a case study of the Atlanta metropolitan area to examine the effects of resurgent gentrification on LGBT neighborhoods. The study finds that rising housing values have dispersed the LGBT population, and former LGBT neighborhoods have become less tolerant of LGBT people and the businesses that anchor the LGBT community. The article considers ways that planning practice might seek to preserve LGBT-friendly neighborhoods and the people and institutions that depend on them.

“…In the community development literature, scholars argue that housing and community development organizations have evolved over time to form a community development industry system (Yin, 1998;Ferguson & Stoutland, 1999;Silverman, 2001;Frisch & Servon 2006).This system entails integrated layers of federal, state, local, and grassroots activities that coordinate and sustain community development and housing initiatives. At each level of the community development industry system, actors inform and advocate for policy development, plan programs, oversee and evaluate their implementation, and build capacity at the grassroots level.…”

This article examines charter schools applying a nonprofit conceptual frame of reference. The proliferation of charter schools is framed as a form of nonprofitization of public education. The implications of this trend are discussed. This discussion is contextualized through an examination of charter schools in New York. The case analysis is supported with data from the New York State Department of Education, the US Census Public Education Finance Report, and IRS Form 990 data. The findings suggest that there is mixed evidence for better school outcomes between charter schools and other public schools, while differences that do exist may be driven by socio-economic inequalities and other factors. This raises questions about the future of nonprofit schools and the degree to which they are accountable to traditional constituencies served by the public education system.

“…Drawing on the experience of Community Development Corporations, Frisch and Servon (2006) argue that the place-based community development approach could be an effective organizing strategy by integrating local concerns in policy formulation. The place-based approach has a long history.…”
