ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kapasitas lembaga  kewirausahaan sosial lokal dengan taraf hidup masyarakat tunagrahita di Desa Karangpatihan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif dan didukung dengan data kualitatif yang melibatkan responden warga tunagrahita.

Temuan ini didukung uji kuantitatif yang menunjukkan adanya korelasi signifikan antara kapasitas lembaga Rumah Harapan dan taraf hidup warga tunagrahita. Hal ini tidak terlepas dari adanya faktor internal dan eksternal yang mendorong Rumah Harapan.

Persoalan sosial tidak hanya bisa diselesaikan dengan memberi ‘bantuan’ tetapi  memberikan kompetensi atau kemampuan melalui pendekatan komunitas.
