“The National Center on Family Homelessness currently estimates that as many as fifty U. S. children (1.5 million) are homeless or “precariously housed” in temporary quarters such as motels and shelters” (Cohen, 2009). Today’s economic crisis is not helping this growing number of families that are being relocated as home foreclosures and loss of jobs add to the overwhelming number of homeless

Purpose: To inform my audience that there are kids out there that need our help and to have the audience persuade to donating.

Under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, the fifty states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia received funding to investigate the number and the needs of homeless children, to identify obstacles that would prevent them from receiving an education and to develop a plan to overcome these problems (Pawlas, 1996). The McKinney Act also provides emergency food assistance, adult literacy instruction, job training, health services and other programs. Under this act, homeless children are ensured access to the same, free appropriate public education other children in the state receive.

In an effort to address the youth and child poverty issues, the local government created the Child Poverty Prevention Council fund in 2008, its purpose and its goal to present and establish “programs which will reduce child poverty in the state by 50% over the next 10 years” (Child Poverty Prevention Council for Louisiana, 2009). This council is comprised of 19 member organizations that represent the state legislature, the state executive agencies, businesses and labor groups, higher education institutions, and New Orleans professional advocacy groups. The outline of the priority stages of action to tackle the child poverty within the city are improving birth outcome, early childhood education initiatives, strengthening disadvantaged youth connections to school and work, and raising the EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) from 3.5% 27 percent of the Federal EITC amount. The greater New Orleans Foundation is a local governing foundation this housing and community development in the wake of hurricane Katrina includes the community revitalization fund. This five year $25,000,000 initiative is designated to support organizations, people, and systems that produce a portable workforce housing in the city of New Orleans. The greater in New Orleans foundation also works closely with the Center for

Being able to stay rent free and being provided home cooked meals will give them the opportunity to work and build their finance. The community could even give them jobs to work that way they can spend time with their families and work on themselves. By building the schools, the youth not only will have places to live and food to eat, but easy access to the classroom close to home. The Plos medicine editors states " But charities such as Crisis and Shelter are already warning that the risk of homelessness for many people is closer than we have previously assumed and now more than ever, homeless people can no longer be considered outside of society. Political will at the highest level is needed to put them back into the mainstream political and therefore health and social agenda." (Plos medicine, 5) Ignoring the fact that people need help is unebenfital for society because this allows ofr people who are homeless but have a lot of potiential to be left on the backburner and forgotten. There are many homeless youth roaming through the united states , and to deny them of the same support other finaicla youth receive, is to completely attempt to stop someones life before it even

The McKinney-Vento Act not only provides immediate shelter and food to the homeless, but it also guarantees a homeless child’s right to an education. McKinney-Vento assures that homeless students who struggle attending school have access to a proper education and gain other necessary services necessary (Katel). The McKinney-Vento Act recognizes the importance of an education by providing homeless students with basic educational rights, transportation and other basic school necessities. Although there are still major complications in educating homeless students, this act

Many of these students experience great difficulty in continuing their education and maintaining their grades due to their unstable living conditions. Most are hungry, don’t have a place to do homework with an internet connection, or even a place to shower. School becomes a hope and distraction for them, and most likely is their only way of escaping homelessness. Patricia Julianelle, director of state projects at the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth, said on a conference call with the press, “For many of these students, school is their primary safety net or their only safety net.”

Have you ever seen a child somewhere and you just want to help them and let them know that they matter? Every time I see a child on the street that is wearing dirty clothes, I want to take them to the store and let them pick out their favorite clothes. Because I would love to work for an organization that helps youth in the community, I chose to do my project on the Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Inc. This incorporation is located in North Charleston, South Carolina. Lowcountry Orphan Relief also known as LOR has existed for 12 years. In this paper, I am going to give you information about this program and how they help the adolescents of the city who are not taken care of adequately or are completely neglected. The mission of LOR is “to provide basic

Under the federal McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 2002, homeless children and youth must have access to a free, appropriate public education. Homeless children and youth who become homeless can choose to continue school in the school they were attending before they became homeless or they can chose to attend school in the area in which the child is actually living. The decision is based on the best interest of the child, and the school must give consideration to a request made by a parent. Homeless children and youth must be allowed to participate in school meals programs, before and after school activities, and must be given services comparable to the services offered to other students in the school. These services include transportation services, educational services, and programs for the handicapped, bilingual, programs for students with limited proficiency, vocational programs, and programs for the gifted

Homelessness is a major issue and there are not enough laws to support it. One of the policies that has a lot of history and has being going on for a long time is The McKinney Act where it addresses long-term solutions for homelessness children. The McKinney act is funded by the government and treats children the same to make sure they get their education under their circumstances. It gives them the opportunity to learn and gain enough knowledge, to be able to make a change in their lives. Unfortunately the act was declined from many states because of its insufficient funds and it’s failure of the mission and goals. Also, this article explains the critique of this act. Some of the critiques that imply to this act are not identifying families and students that are homeless in schools due to not enough staff, not enough funding, lack of knowledge and lack of awareness of the needs that homelessness needs. Policy recommendations and policy funds are also included in this document. The McKinney Act is a great policy that is needed more than ever for the homeless population and it needs to get back into the school systems. It is important because we need everything that can help the vulnerable population and their families by using these services and sources to give every child a chance to go to school and be successful but without these funds that chance is easily vanished

Low-income families experience unique challenges. They often do not have access to necessities, let alone their wants. Programs like Girls on the Run are great and could really help these low-income girls, but these are the girls who are likely unable to participate in the program. Although the walking school bus is a step in the right direction, it is not all that is needed to provide greater access to

On the 29th of August in 2005, a category five hurricane named Katrina made landfall in New Orleans, Louisiana. The winds of the storm were up to 174 miles per hour with a surge of 20 feet of flood waters. This hurricane was so strong it broke this city’s only hope of protection; the levees. The flood waters destroyed more than half of the city’s homes, schools, and businesses. The storm left the city in ruins with little hope of rebuilding. But despite all of the doubt, the city is progressively coming back and certain things are better than ever. One of the things that have been overwhelmingly improved is the public school system. In the ten years since Katrina, dropout rates have continued

Salaries expense is considered deductible by a business according to Publication 535, if the amount is ordinary, necessary, and reasonable. Ordinary means that the expense occurs regularly and necessary means that the expense facilitates the reaching of desirable business goals. The IRS scrutinizes compensation paid to the owner over employees due to lower salary expenses and masking salaries into a large distribution. Mr. Jones and Mandy’s salary amounts of $180,000 and $70,000 respectively are reasonable, however, outstanding distributions are red herrings for masking compensation not included in owner salaries. If Mr. Jones decides to take a cash withdrawal and take dividends, he needs to pass two requirements: prior year dividends were issued to shareholders and his salary is over the 60% profit threshold. To protect the business from IRS suspicion, Mr. Jones and his daughter need meticulous records regarding salary payments
