Abstract
This report, focusing on the national relationship to local organizations, local and regional coalitions, and the forging of complementary relationships, shows that the work of advocates based in Washington can be bolstered by a renewed immersion in the day-to-day challenges of "local" groups. The frustrations of the "local" groups can be mitigated with a deeper appreciation of the constrained realities of federal advocacy in a period of devolution, retrenchment in social services and relentless assault on the role of government in providing basic supports for people and their communities. The evaluation was constructed using a total of 216 surveys that were completed. Focus groups were conducted in Albuquerque, Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco. Additionally CURL conducted a set of case studies of local and national neighborhood leaders.
