Cordero-Guzman, H.(n.d.). Building Networks and Social Capital: The Role of Community Based Organizations in the Incorporations of Immigrants. In Progress.

(Book manuscript in progress)-In recent years there has been growing interest among sociologists and academics from various disciplines on non-profit organizations—particularly those emanating from and serving a variety of immigrant and ethnic communities. The literature on non-profit organizations (Salamon 2002, DiMaggio and Anheier 1990) has focused mostly on the larger organizations in the sector and examines issues of efficiency, service and client mix, human resources, organizational structures, resources and funding, and organizational strategies while the literature on immigration has recently focused on the development of social capital, the formation and use of social networks in immigrant communities, and on the development and maintenance of transnational ties and activities (Massey et. at. 1987, Portes, et. al. 1999). Very few studies, however, (see Cordero-Guzman 2005) have focused directly on the role of immigrant groups, organizations, and service providers in the development of social capital, in the identification of needs and the provision of socials services, and in the maintenance of dense immigrant community networks, and in the formation of transnational ties in immigrant communities. Historically, CBOs have been key institutions in the adaptation and incorporation of migrants into their new environments. Eastern European Jewish immigrants arriving to New York City in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, for instance, formed various types of organizations (e.g., landsmanshaftn, mutual aid societies, fraternal orders) that provided members with material and social benefits necessary to navigate their new environment. Newer immigrants have continued establishing various types of groups and associations in their efforts to secure materials resources, to provide services and improve their social and economic well-being, to gather political power at the local level, and to maintain cultural and social ties with their communities of origin (Cordero-Guzmán, 2005; Rodríguez-Fraticelli, et al., 1991; Levitt, 2001:181-183). The types of organizations that migrants form are varied and range from informal social clubs, mutual aid societies, hometown associations, artistic groups, to more formal organizations such as nonprofit groups, advocacy networks, and issue based coalitions. Community based organizations (CBOs) are essential to immigrant communities and play a central role in all aspects of the migration process. First, immigrant organizations assist individuals and families in petitioning for family members, entering the country, and they provide a range of supports related to the immigration process itself. Once immigrants arrive, CBOs provide a wide array of social services and community programs that meet the various needs of the community and contribute to the socioeconomic adaptation and incorporation of immigrants and their families. Third, these organizations act as mediators between immigrant communities and local and state level government department, agencies, and institutions. Through advocacy and community organizing, immigrant organizations articulate the needs and represent the interests of immigrant communities to local level government officials and policy makers and provide a terrain where members of the immigrant community get the skills, experience and networks they need to connect to mainstream networks. Lastly, CBOs provide dynamic bi-directional linkages of goods, information, services, resources and culture connecting immigrant communities to their countries and communities of origin (Cordero-Guzman, 2005). While there is growing interest in immigrant organizations, to date, there has not been a comprehensive, systematic, comparative study of immigrant organizations in the United States despite the fact that this is a time of intense demographic and socio economic change. This project seeks to provide new information about immigrant organizations, their activities, and challenges that will be useful to funders, academics and the immigrant organizations themselves. While there are some organizational case studies in the literature they are too small, and unrepresentative, to provide information about the broad characteristics and ecology of the population of organizations, the broad field of immigrant service providers, and the larger context within which non-profits and community groups operate. The Immigrant Organizations Project [IOP] emerged as a collaboration between Baruch College in New York City, The University of Notre Dame\University of Illinois in Chicago, and the University of California in Los Angeles. Each of these institutions were originally funded through separate proposals, but with the Rockefeller Foundations’ encouragement, we all used the same methodology and survey instrument to examine immigrant-serving community-based organizations in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. This manuscript used data from the survey to explore the role of organizations in the social, political and economic adaptation and incorporation of immigrants.

Cordero-Guzman, H.(n.d.). Poverty and Human Service Research Partnerships in Puerto Rico . In Progress.

Examines trends in poverty in Puerto Rico and the social service infrastructure that supports the Federal TANF and Head Start Programs on the Island.

Cordero-Guzman, H.(n.d.). The Changing Demographics of Upper Manhattan. In Progress.

This project involves preparing a demographic analysis of the uptown population in New York City by Census PUMA (community district) and examine demographic and socio-economic data at the district level. There are four community district uptown (Central Harlem, East Harlem, Morningside Heights and Washington Heights). First, I will compare the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the four neighborhoods. I will look at age profile, gender composition, education level, work status, occupation and industry, sources and levels of income, family structure, and poverty levels. Second, I will prepare a demographic analysis of the East Harlem population by race and ethnicity. I will look at age profile, gender composition, education level, work status, occupation and industry, sources and levels of income, family structure, and poverty levels by race and ethnicity. The goal is to better understand the nature of demographic changes is low income neighborhoods in Manhattan. This project is being done in collaboration with the Hunter College School of Social Work and the CUNY School of Public Health.

Cordero-Guzman, H.(n.d.). The Demographic, Social and Political Dimensions of Evolving Social Movements. In Progress.

The purpose of this study is to understand the volume and levels of use of websites associated with these emerging social movements and to better understand the characteristics of users of the website, persons supporting the movement, and persons participating in the activities coordinated by the various groups and organizations involved.

Cordero-Guzman, H.(n.d.). The Distribution and Uses of NYC Council Discretionary Funds. In Progress.

My research project involves analyzing the recipients, givers, and the users of City Council discretionary (Schedule C) funds between 2010 and 2015. The purpose of the project is to better understand the sources of funding for discretionary projects, how the characteristics of different councilmembers influence their level of funding, the recipients and uses of these funds, and the characteristics of organizations and communities that receive particular types of discretionary NY City Council funding.

Cordero-Guzman, H.(n.d.). The Organizational and Strategic Development of Worker Centers and Worker Center Networks. In Progress.

This project involves analysis, research, and writing on the evolving characteristics of low wage workers and low wage labor markets and the role of community based organizations and worker centers in development of programs, strategies, and policies that improve access to training opportunities, human capital building, adult education and facilitate connections to good jobs and the development of high road strategies in the low wage labor market.
