Hope Community Case Study

The strategy of CAMBA’s Park Slope Women MICA Shelter is a long-term plan of sustained growth of customer care in New York City. They are strategic when it comes to meeting the pressing needs of New York City dwellers. To begin with, they have identified that mental illness and drugs and substance abuse renders many city dwellers homeless and desperate. Most of the dwellers are hopeless with nowhere else to turn to and CAMBA’s Park Slope Women Shelter comes in as a source of hope for them. This strategy reflects the correct planning on the side of their leaders. This is evident from the fact that market share should be just adequate to cater for the present needs of the community (Drucker et al., 2008). However, over the last few years they

We decided to focus our community assessment in Dallas County (see Appendix C for the community map) because poverty in this area is a rising epidemic. According to Mayor Mike Rawlings, “the gap between the haves and the have-nots is still too wide, we must close the gap”. Dallas is home to a variety of races and ethnicities, but it is the Hispanic and the African Americans that poverty has effected the most with the rate increasing by 42% over a span of 15 years (Dallas City Hall, September 7, 2016). Our focus was more on South Central and Southeast Dallas spanning across Districts 5, 7, and 8 because of the significant increase in poverty in these areas.

New Hope Housing likely had strengths related to their employee development program, their effectiveness in housing people in need, and their niche for ensuring individuals who would typically be rejected housing. Some of their weaknesses likely related to their secured funding and current dependence on government funding. Some of their opportunities relate to finding solutions for permanent housing, as this is currently a struggle for the people they serve. Lastly, their threats likely also have to do with their government funding. As budgets change, money is moved around and can impact this organization for the better or for the worse.

In 1983, Urban Ministries Center in Durham, North Carolina was a host site for local area services for the homeless community of Durham. However, in 2001 three organizations, Durham Community Shelter for Hope, St. Phillip’s Community Café, and United Methodist Mission Society merged into one organization, Urban Ministries of Durham (UMD). UMD was established to address issues and to provide resources to the homeless community of Durham, North Carolina (“Mission and History,” 2009, para. 5). The organization changed their focus in 2014 to help people and families seeking temporary shelter, while addressing their barriers with hopes of obtaining permanent and sustainable housing.

There is an estimate of over half a million homeless people living in the United States today, one hundred thousand living in Michigan alone. These individuals lose their jobs to an unbalanced economy, have health complications or simply fall upon hard times. Fortunately there have been numerous nonprofit organizations set up in efforts to aid these people in their time of need.
