Abstract: With the rapid development of economy and society, the governmental payment for social work services focusing on the livelihood of the people has also aroused widespread concern of the local government. Since the community residents’ demands for service are different, community social work services must be timely, targeted, orderly and effective, and satisfy the needs of each resident. By taking Guangzhou as an example, we try to explore a new urban community work pattern consistent with the social and economic development, that is, a work pattern based on the street comprehensive service center, depending on organizations for community service, spreading throughout households, and reflecting the local characteristics.

Key words: social work, community service, innovation mode
