DAVID RUBEL ASSOCIATES

About David Rubel Associates

Mr. Rubel has been practicing as a consultant in community planning and development for the past 13 years. Mr. Rubel's consulting practice is divided between two areas: a) program design and development services to non-profit neighborhood and citywide providers of human services b) social policy research and program solutions.

Program Design and Development: Mr. Rubel has worked with City, State and Federal government agencies on developing new programs for his clients. Based on his work with clients, Mr. Rubel has extensive direct experience with the many current issues in government funded interventions and community work. In 1997, Mr. Rubel was hired by clients to assist them with setting up the following programs: early head start, community based foster care prevention, a new home care business for Medicare eligible elderly, welfare to work, supportive housing for the elderly and a new housing program for the developmentally disabled. The connections between seemingly very disparate areas of need and intervention are a strong area of interest and inquiry.

Social Policy Research and Program Solutions: Mr. Rubel designs and develops projects for government, public policy and research organizations and human service practitioners in New York City. He identifies issues, problems and programmatic solutions that will be of immediate use to practitioners (defined as individuals such as executive directors and program staff, government agency staff, elected officials, and anyone else engaged on a day to day basis in some form of service delivery, advocacy, or decision making). These information products are marketed in the form of two to three page concept papers. He sells the concept papers to interested parties including government, human service organizations, foundations, citywide advocacy and public policy organizations. When a concept paper is sold, Mr. Rubel undertakes the research and/or program design that was described in the concept paper.

Recent Publications: Mr. Rubel is the author of three social policy/research/advocacy publications. These publications have been reported on in the following periodicals: The New York Times, New York Newsday, New York Daily News, City Limits Magazine and El Diario. His work is widely used by community organizations and neighborhood wide collaboratives and coalitions. Click here for more information.
