Similar to traditional program design, community-based program design often utilizes a range of tools and models which are meant to enhance the efficacy and outcomes of the program's design. The difference between traditional design and community-based design, when using these tools, is in the dynamics of the relationship between the designers, the participants, and the community as a whole. It evolved from the [[Charity Organization Society]] (COS) and the [[Settlement movement|settlement house movements]].
 
One advantage is a learning experience between a consumer and a social services provider. One disadvantage is a limited availability of resources. The models that can be used for it are:

* the [[Social ecological model|social-ecological model]], which provides a framework for program design,
* the [[logic model]], which is a graphical depiction of logical relationships between the resources, activities, outputs and outcomes of a program,
* the [[social action model]], whose objectives are to recognize the change around a community in order to preserve or improve standards, understand the social action process/model is a conceptualization of how directed change takes place, and understand how the social action model can be implemented as a successful community problem solving tool,
* and [[Program evaluation and review technique (PERT)|program evaluation]], which involves the ongoing systematic assessment of community-based programs.
