“…The new paradigm of governance allows more flexibility of government tools to move and adjust to evolving social issues faster and more efficiently than the traditional government paradigm originally permitted (Frahm & Martin, 2009). Policy makers will be able to address the entire complex issue of juvenile crime by incorporating all aspects of the child within the family.…”

“…Therefore, the focal point is on the programs created to deal with social and public policies (Salamon, 2002). However, in the governance paradigm, the focal point rests on the tools required to address social issues (Frahm & Martin, 2009). According to Salamon (2002) a tool refers to an instrument of public action that has an identifiable method through which collective action is structured to address a public problem.…”

a governance approach, policy makers and practitioners benefit from more flexibility to move and adjust to evolving social issues; this approach is faster and more efficient than the traditional government paradigm originally permitted. The question for the next generation of policy makers is to determine what governance tools are appropriate for addressing this growing poverty epidemic. The goal of each tool should be to place the power in the hands of individuals familiar with welfare problems and solutions.

“…In the nonprofit sector, administrators are challenged to develop contract proposals for governmental funding bodies and to maintain relationships with their funding agencies to insure the financial stability of their agency (Green, 1998;Austin, 1995, Patti, 2000. Frahm and Martin (2009) conceptualize the change in government as a change from a "government" paradigm to a "governance" paradigm. In their view, the new paradigm is emerging from the policy debates of the 1980s and 1990s that revolved around either the government paradigm or the market paradigm (Frederickson & Smith, 2003;Kettl, 2000;Osborn & Gaebler, 1993).…”

“…From the governance perspective, solutions to social problems will be found at the intersection of all disciplines and all sectors: government, nonprofit, forprofit, faith-based, and others (Johansson, 2004). Frahm and Martin (2009) suggest that social work administrators may be uniquely positioned to play a key role in our society's shift to a governance paradigm.…”

Factors Influencing the Relationship Between Contract Providers and a State Funding Agency

This study examines relationships between the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and the nonprofit child care agencies providing services through contract arrangements. The study tested the proposition that the administrators of contract child care agencies will define their agency's relationship with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services as supplementary, complementary, or adversarial (Young, 1998) based on the administrator and agency demographic variables, administrator's attitude toward the role of government, the administrator's view on management, and the agency's financial characteristics. The study found that the percentage of budget from the state agency and the level of education of the administrator significantly predicted one type of relationship (complementary). None of the other structural factors identified were found to be significant predictors. The qualitative findings indicate that the social dimensions, such as mutual respect, fairness, and individual relationships, are more important than structural factors in determining relationships.

Poverty is a major social problem in the United States: in 2014, the U.S. Census Bureau reported 46.7 million people living in poverty and an estimated 14.8 percent poverty rate. The poverty rate has been steadily increasing in the United States, with a 2 percent increase in 2012 over 2007. Federal and state governments have initiated many anti‐poverty programs, starting with the New Deal Program in the 1930s. With the advent of a new governance approach in the 1990s, many hierarchical bureaucratic government agencies were replaced with public, private, network, and collaborative approaches to solve this complex national problem. Tax expenditures, vouchers, and grants are the three major governance tools used by the U.S. federal and state governments to fight poverty. This article addresses three important programs—the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)—used in fighting poverty in the United States and discusses the problem of poverty, the effectiveness of these governance tools, suggestions for future research, and policy implications
