- Title
Family-centered Project of St. Paul.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the Family-centered Project of the Greater St. Paul Community Chest and Council in St. Paul, Minnesota. The story of the project is more than a story about research and treatment of multi-problem families. It is the story of how a community was stimulated and organized to retain its focus for a period of ten years on one project in competition with the regular duties of the day and other important community programs. The story reveals a community's concern about those families in its midst who were so beset by a multiplicity of problems that, despite the best efforts of both voluntary and public social agencies over a period of years, they still required a large share of the total community welfare services. It is also the story of a community's search for some better plan of treatment for these families. The story of the project has been the story of a co-operative enterprise undertaken by all the agencies that had been concerned about these families in an effort to work out together a better plan for treating them.
