Affordable Home Case Study

I work with families that are involved in child protective services and I am always amazed at the lack of social policies that are in place to assist these families. These families often times are faced with poverty, addiction, and homelessness. Although there are many social policies that improve the quality of life for individuals that live in poverty there continues to be needs that go unmet for families living in poverty. There are several treatment facilities that treat addiction, but many of the clients that I work with do not have insurance that the treatment facilities accept. A typical client that suffers from addiction does not have the financial ability to pay cash for treatment. I recently inquired about the cost of treatment for a client without insurance and was informed that the cost of inpatient care was approximately $1,000 a day. There is no client on my caseload that can afford to pay the cost of inpatient treatment. The lack of affordable housing for families living in poverty is another very frustrating social policy. One town that I work in has one low income housing complex that has a current waiting list of three years. The waiting list for housing assistance in this particular community is currently closed and will not accept applications at this time. The closets homeless shelter is forty-nine miles away from the town. I currently have five clients on my caseload in this area that are

Families are the majority of homeless in Licking County and all over the country. Something needs to be done about the overbearing number of homeless families and individuals in the county and the country. Some type of program needs to be implemented that will help parents, also other men and women who are homeless, to provide a roof over their kids heads and minimum wage jobs will not be enough to make this change. The poor need need something more substantial than $8.10 an hour and raising minimum wage will only increase everything else..

While reading the article "Black Charity in the Progressive Era Chicago" and the textbook "The Reluctant Welfare State" chapter 14, I became enlightened on the subject of child/youth homelessness. Child or youth homelessness is something that I had not thought much about nor have witnessed for myself, but it made me wonder what social workers can do to help minority children who are homeless. What preventative measures can social workers do to help minority children who are homeless and are often discriminated against due to not being the norm of society? What kinds of direct service organizations, such as children's shelters and children's homes, can help to end children/youth homelessness in various cities? How does race and/or the color

There are programs that can help these individual and families. People can get help though their local Human Services Department. The Human services provides aid to low income families and individuals. Some of these services include, housing, referrals for food pantry, emergency shelters, and outreach centers. Low income families and individual that qualified for these programs can include; single individuals, couples, families with children, elderly, veterans, and single mothers. Here is some information for programs for the homeless the State Rental Allowance Program (RAP) is a rent assistance program for the homeless that aid families and individuals. This program will help these individuals with temporary rent assistance for approximately

As a social worker working with the downtown homeless community, and in order to gauge the need for additional resources, I would begin with the five primary methods of the key informant approach (Rubin and Babbie, (2013), and Royce, et al. 2010). The goal is to build rapport, and form relationships with various key informants within the community. The first step is the key informant step (Rubin & Babbie, et al. 2013). I would contact a group of knowledgeable individuals and business groups regarding the homeless crisis. Those groups would comprise of the San Diego City Council, the Regional Task Force on the Homeless, several of the leading homeless nonprofit organizations, such as the Salvation Army, Goodwill and the San Diego Regional Continuum of Care Coalition, a group that includes several non-profits with a mission to end homelessness (KUSI,

I wish to talk about an organization which is currently in operation, and whose internal structures and staffs I have been very familiar with for the past twenty-six years. The organization is called Builders for the Family and Youth (BFFY). BFFY is a nonprofit organization which is owned by Catholic Charity. The organization owns several facilities which are homes to different population of people. Some facilities house a Mentally Ill Homeless (MIH) population; while other facilities house a Mentally Ill Chemical Abuser (MICA) population. Each facility owned by BFFY has its own Administrator. Each of BFFY's facilities provide specific services to its population. All of BFF's facilities have two specific goals in common, and they are:

If I were to organize a group to help out my community, I would start a foundation to shelter to homeless. This foundation would be to help the homeless get on their feet a little and help them build up their self-esteem and make them want to better themselves so they won’t have to be in the predicament that they are in now any longer. Mostly I would start this foundation to because, of the simple fact that homeless people tend to sleep anywhere out in the open and it tends to make others very uncomfortable. My shelter would have most needed essentials of: carts, blankets, food, and beverages to keep the people happy and have them feel as if they are safe and comfortable. My foundation will only be open every Monday’s, Wednesday’s, Friday’s,

Interestingly Cal doesn't require incoming freshman to live on campus which means I could stay with my relatives in San Francisco. Although Cal highly recommends new students to live on campus as stated by their website 95% of the incoming freshman choose to stay on campus. Most likely I think I might live on campus for my first year just because I think it would a good experience to get accustomed to. At Cal there are theme housing where people with similar majors live together. I know a couple of people who go to Cal and they informed me that the Engineering house is where all the boring people go, however I am going to change that as I am a very interesting person as I plan on majoring somewhere in the engineering field.

Introduction: My family was never the richest, always looking for help in many different ways. A struggle was my mom trying to take care of three children all on her own, ensuring there was a roof over our heads, food in our stomach and clothes on our backs. We have moved many times since I was about four years old, but never did I think about how hard it was to find a new home each time. Although my mother was able to get section 8 (which can be considered as the Housing Choice Voucher which is money given to low income families to help pay the rent), it is still very tough to find a home which the voucher covers.

The firm I work for is growing, and they have announced the opening of facilities in ten states. I currently live in Idaho and with no family ties; I am interested in making the move. Moving expenses will be paid, since the job description will remain the same, I will still receive my current salary of $60,000 per year. The firm provided information on its cost of living policy adjustments based on the median home price. If the home prices are within the 95% confidence interval of the mean of median home prices in the nation, there will be no cost of living adjustment. The cost of living adjustment is 6%, so if I move to a location where median home prices are outside the confidence interval, I will get a 6% adjustment making my new salary $63,600. When I

For my kids that age out of the system they have nowhere to go that’s safe and will support them. This organization would provide a free living space for young adults in need and would help them to find jobs and other places to live.

With a new, untested business model and a recently organized REIT with a limited operating history, American Homes 4 Rent (AMH) is at a disadvantage when evaluating the potential implementation of its chosen investment strategy and operating policies. The company has limited resources to compare against, as no similar REIT companies currently exist with an established long-term track record — thus, evaluating the performance may be difficult and risky. Unanticipated problems such as, economic and target market conditions, interest rate levels and volatility, judicial and regulatory developments, and acquisitions may negatively affect “operational results and the ability to make shareholder distributions; consequently, share prices will decline

The organization that I chose to analysis is the Save the Children Campaign. This organization relies heavily upon ethos and pathos to get support for their cause. This organization uses many means to get their point across to people. This organization uses the emotional appeal to their advantage and mostly they use this technique to get donations and volunteers. The use of credibility strategies has helped the organization also with receiving donations and getting people to volunteer. The mission of Save the Children is to create lasting, positive changes in the lives of children in need. Save the Children works to achieve this mission through community-based programs designed
