Analyzing Shelter Organizations and the Services They Offer: Testing a Structural Model Using a Sample of Shelter Programs.

Delany, Peter J.; And Others

Evaluation and Program Planning, v17 n4 p391-98 Oct-Dec 1994

The resulting model showed that services offered by the shelters are best understood as being influenced by organizational structure mediated through the organization's relationship with external actors.
