In an effort to end homelessness in Washington, DC, low barrier shelters, such as the Harriet Tubman Woman’s Shelter were implemented. Located in the center of DC General Campus in Southeast, DC, the Harriet Tubman Woman’s shelter, “is a 100 bed low-barrier emergency shelter for women over the age of 18 who are in urgent need of housing, food or case management” (Catholic Charities Archdiocese of Washington, Inc., 2010). A low-barrier shelter is “usually primarily short-term shelter for individuals. Low-barrier shelter is designed to keep people safe, is often open only 12 hours a day, and is often in a congregate setting. This type of program is provided, on a first come, first served basis, to any adult presenting as homeless. It is sometimes also referred to as emergency shelter” (Interagency Council on Homelessness District of Columbia, 2010, p.4) For all shelters in the Washington, DC area the women are to be out of the shelter from the time of 7am until the doors open again at 7pm. For those women who are not a part of the work program or have nothing to do during the day, the women have a chance to participate in the day program located in the shelter.

Authorities and programs that allow reimbursement include: 1915(c) HCBS Waivers, 1915(i) HCBS State Plan Optional Benefit, 1915(1b) Community First Choice State Plan optional Benefit, 1915(b) Waivers, 1905(a) State Plan Services, Section 1115 Research and Demonstration Programs and Money Follows the Person demonstration.1Some of these authorities offer greater coverage opportunity than others.1 Medicaid offices have the opportunity to play an important role in convening state program offices and other partners to identify other non-Medicaid funding sources to support

Sanctuary – Homeless young people arriving at our door are often frightened and mistrustful. Young men and women can grow only when they feel safe and secure. Covenant House protects them from the perils of the street and offers a critical sense of security.

California streets are overwhelmed day-to-day by the homeless population, yet city and county services are limited and the issue continues on. To address the problem of homelessness in California, city and county leaders have collaborated and proposed future plans across the region. The city council recently approved a plan that involves the creation of services and programs to those who are homeless, but realizes the budget for funding these plans are not available at hand. The effort to solve the homelessness problem is not within the plans of strategies; however funding these strategies is the solution to making these plans a reality. Focusing on the issue, the city and county leaders have different roles that each are responsible for and the funds needed for these plans exceeds over $1.85 billion over the next ten years and currently about $30 million is already spent on strategies to reduce the homeless population.

Our senior project’s purpose is to give back to our community and feed the less fortunate families in Long Beach. Just in our city alone there are more than 53,000 homeless families. Our target market is mainly the less fortunate families but we are opening it up to other groups as well. Our motivational values such as effort, teamwork, dedication, individual worth and integrity, folds our mission together. Long Beach is considered the 9th highest district of the less fortunate families in our major cities. Families become homeless because of many reasons such as job loss, violence, divorces, and family disputes. Other reasons follow such as depression, illness and stress. We want to be able to provide meaningful essentials

This case study examines homelessness and some of the difficulties encountered when trying to solve this problem. The woman in the story, Tracy, works for Fairmont Christian Housing Alliance. Tracy does not support the new panhandling legislation, which allows police the power to give citations for intimidating conduct if it is accompanied by an act of solicitation (Pg. 93). She does not feel that further criminalization of homeless will stop their panhandling and will not promote positive change. Unfortunately, due to the possible loss of funding sources, her employer and other service providers have chosen to publicly support the new law. Tracey wishes to truly help her clients in a compassionate manner, rather than just hiding them away

Background and Issue Issue takes place in a middle class suburban area in the NE part of the United States. The central argument surrounds a building planning board that is tasked to bring a federally funded homeless shelter into a suburban township area. Advocates for the shelter have already done preliminary work and presented plans for a 200 room, hotel style arrangement that provides privacy, showers, etc. Many of these individuals are working, but women and children of a class known as "the working poor." Those opposed are worried about a number of emotional issues: crime, property values, perception of the area around the hotel, etc. The scenario surrounds the Board meeting that will decide the fate of the shelter.

The nature of Carey Counseling Center Inc. is much different than that of a for profit company such as a car manufacturer. We have similar organizational structure, but utilizing grant services is much different than producing a car for sale on a lot. One objective we utilize to complete the housing process is the draw down system for payment. This process is an attempt by the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to make the organizations utilizing these funds as efficient as possible which will in turn make their utilization more effective in theory. Carey prides itself in the efficiency in which it can bring in a homeless individual and house them, provided they are eligible and housing exists. The process of drawing down funds occurs

Harrisburg has a strong network of social service agencies. The Capital Area Coalition on Homelessness (CACH) coordinates initiatives designed to address homelessness across multiple nonprofits and its work was mentioned several times during in-person interviews (CACH, 2015; K.

Thank you, Dr. Lowery. To provide shelter/homes for this population, I will solicit local government to collaborate with Light House homeless shelter in Polk County to help them expand their facility to house as many homeless individuals as possible. This intervention will help me monitor the cost of healthcare compared to those who are left on the streets accurately. I will also solicit government officials to provide a long-term housing solution with the Housing First Programs to help them with housing placement. These programs are transitional to help stabilize the homeless individuals with their families' long-term goals and any subsequent
