HUMAN SERVICES (GENERAL)

The Human Services (General) collection explores immigrant integration from a variety of perspectives. Some studies seek to identify promising practices in providing social services to immigrant and refugee populations. Other studies look at the important role played by specific institutions, such as community-based organizations, libraries, and child welfare agencies. Some researchers examine the extent of English language usage among immigrant populations, analyze federal and state laws governing language access, and identify innovative approaches for overcoming language barriers. A number of studies look at various facets of immigrant family life, including parenting practices of specific communities and the impact of immigration on family members remaining in sending countries. Recently, many researchers have focused on the devastating effects of deportation on immigrant families, as well as the impact of the public charge rule on immigrant use of safety net services.
