Abstract
This article develops a comprehensive approach to meeting the needs of urban low-income, multicultural communities. A neighborhood network that focuses on the developmental needs of youths and engages residents as well as interdisciplinary services is discussed. The efforts of one school of social work to help a neighborhood develop such a network are studied. Among the implications is a strong emphasis on preparing social work students for generalist practice.Keywords
