This article is an analysis of the coalition-building process in the human services that has emerged in response to continued cuts in funds for social programs. Two case studies of a local and a statewide coalition and interview data from forty human service agencies in the San Francisco Bay area are presented and discussed. The findings point to an increasing role for coalitions in the 1980s as more agencies are threatened by funding cuts.
