Kenny suggests that community development and action is based on a set of common commitments;

• Powerless people and social justice.
• Citizenship and human rights.
• Empowerment and self-determination.
• Collective action.
• Diversity.
• Change and involvement in conflict.
• Liberation, open societies and participatory democracy.
• Accessibility of human services programs.

This page provides access to information and resources to develop community development practice with homeless people and communities of services in the context of thse commitments.
