Community Development in the USA: An Empowerment Zone Example.

O'Neal, Gwenelle S.; O'Neal, Rondald A.

Community Development Journal, v38 n2 p120-29 Apr 2003

A survey of 26 human service agencies in an empowerment zone found the following: 73% used interns, few from social work; 57% used empowerment in mission statements (more economic than social agencies); 69% of these wanted community practice interns; and higher-budget agencies were better able to negotiate the empowerment zone system.
