HRCs in seventeen cities with varying charasterics were studied, using qualitative procedures which allowed for exploration of varying aspects of these organizations and their environments. The descriptive analytic focus is on the emergence, goals, structures, and strategies of HRCs. Data is used as support for a model of community systems which purposively promote system integration
