Abstract
With the collapse of the former Soviet Union (FSU), its state-sponsored social, health, and welfare services disintegrated, and the role of voluntary welfare organizations increased. The article discusses a network of voluntary, community-based welfare centers that was developed in the FSU and based on a model of post-disaster community development. Recommendations for implementation in other postdisaster environments are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
