Housing Team Work Case Study

First and foremost, one of the purposes of Live Green is it encourages all ISU students, faculty, and staff to be fully committed. Also, it engages to make our campus to have a “green” environment. It takes some challenges for those who join this program. It leads in sustainability among land-grant institutions. It also recognizes that the involvement and dedication of every member in ISU is necessary to achieve the goal. (About)

On this date worker received a call from Tori Pettit. Ms. Pettit stated that Serv-Pro had visited Ms. Smith's home did an assessment and sent off the mold samples. The results came back that the house is not livable due to mold infestation. The mold is in the walls, ceiling, basement, and air vents. Ms. Pettis has spoken with Ms. Smith and Ms. Rachel Rodgers about Ms. Smith moving ASAP. Ms. Pettit stated that Tri-County could place Ms. Smith into a group home now due to her home being deemed unlivable. However, Ms. Smith is not interested in-group home placement and would rather live independently. Ms. Rachel Rodgers has agreed to assist Ms. Smith with apartment applications and any other thing need in order for MS. Smith to find residence.

The social housing program will be a means tested program. Families with an annual household income of $30,000 or less will be eligible for affordable housing. This requirement is set for the possibility of reducing racial inequality since Hispanics and African-Americans are disproportionately ranked the poorest in the United States (Halfmann 2017). I also aim to narrow the gap of these racial disparities by proposing that these new apartments and houses be as eco-friendly as possible. This can be achieved by installing solar panels and energy efficient appliances. These adjustments will lower utility costs tremendously for the household while simultaneously reducing the transmission of greenhouse gases

The core focus of University Colloquium is to explore and practice communicating about the environmental concepts of sustainability, ecological literacy, environmental education, and sense of place. Both exploration and communication of these core concepts was amply carried by participation in this event. Tabling consists of 2 parts: communicating to students about environmental concepts pertaining to farmer’s markets, and researching what to communicate at home. Therefore, through research, I explored the concepts of colloquium because I had to mention research to curious students. Regarding sustainability, facts mentioned focused on how local farmer’s markets tended to act in a greener and more environmentally sustainable way. For example, small farms more often readily adopt environmentally friendly practices including: rebuilding the diversity of crops and insects, using fewer pesticides, using cover crops to improve soil, and providing wildlife with safer border areas (Cho,2012). Ecological literacy and environmental education involved understanding the earths complex web of ecological

Client Contact: A HV was conducted by the Housing Specialist. The Housing Specialist gave Ms. Sims information about the free online writing course that she could attend at her local library. Ms. Sims seemed excited to enroll into the program and was very thankful for the information. Her home needed to be deep cleaned. All of her utilities were on and functioning. There were no needed home repairs and no record of destruction of the property. The visited went well.

Finding permanent supportive housing for single adults and families living with special needs, including chronic homelessness, HIV/AIDS and mental illness, as well as young adults aging out of the foster care system is an issue relevant to social workers. I would like to create an organization that provides counseling and supportive services to help clients stabilize their lives, maintain their housing stability and advance towards their individual goals, including financial independence. The organization’s services are comprehensive. We will provide person-centered case management, employment services, mental health treatment, including onsite psychiatric treatment at certain sites, health and wellness programming, nutrition coaching, food service, independent living planning and community referrals. The organization would need to regularly partner with government, private banks and syndicators, national housing intermediaries and local community service organizations who also share the organization’s view that

In order to keep Wesley Housing’s vision alive, a new concept will be implemented to target the second and third generations. That is, mentoring. A mentoring initiative that challenges residents from the beginning of middle school to young adulthood to set higher standards for themselves. Warren (1995) refers to this as starting with a new population. For example, worship services with different worship styles are being added to reach people that are not being reached by current worship methods (p. 180). Likewise, the future of Wesley Housing is rediscovering its vision to reach the younger population so that the mission and vision of the organization is not

As a highly involved and environmentally conscious student, Shamae Burrell was always present at bake sales, rallies and cooperative events on campus involving sustainability and environmental justice. She had many friends who were also environmental and social justice activists, whom she highly supported. Shamae begun her freshman year elected to her dorm’s hall counsel representing her floor. She then became involved in an on campus fraternity named Alpha Phi Omega which allowed her to exhibit her innate interests in community service and fellowship with her fellow brothers in the organization. During her summers, she worked for environmental justice organizations organizing for local campaigns such as ceasing natural gas pipeline leaks

I would like to express my interest in interviewing with EDEN, Inc.

Habitat for Humanity traces its origins to the time Linda and Millard Fuller spent at Koinonia Farm in 1965. The couple had a successful business in Montgomery, Alabama before they started a new life of Christian service.Habitat for Humanity, is an international, non-governmental, and nonprofit organization, which was founded in 1976. Habitat has been devoted to building "simple, decent, and affordable" housing, a self-described "Christian housing ministry," and has addressed the issues of poverty housing all over the world.The international operational headquarters are located in Americus, Georgia, United States, with the administrative headquarters located in Atlanta. There are five area offices located

Proper marketing and understanding of the consumer needs have always been strong suites of the print industry and could be carried over into a new consumer need, sustainability. Corporations and consumers are now paying closer attention to companies and their actions as it pertains to environmental impact. One area where the industry has adapted well is providing the consumer with substrates that reduce, or enable recycling or re-use. When it comes to how corporations regulating environmental issues, the print industry has not quite caught up. Corporations are looking at greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants often involved in the industry. This being said, companies in the industry are beginning to ask

Additionally, on a socio-cultural level, many consumers feel that restaurants partaking in green initiatives and operations are doing their part to not only help sustain the earth but also to conserving natural resources (Hu, Parsa & Self, 2010). “Going green” is not simply a trend in the food service industry but around the world and in all forms of business. Corporate companies consider “going green” as a sensible business strategy in building recognition for corporate social responsibility among consumers concerned with environmental conservation efforts. Lastly, technological initiatives such as Energy Star appliances (dishwashers, refrigerators, ice machines, etc.) and faucets that use less water must also be analyzed in their ecological conservation capability and weighed against their financial costs (University of Notre Dame, 2014).

recycling campaign. The only way to do that is to help make recycling appeal to more of the vast student population that currently attends our University. How might this be done? The University already places a recycling bin in every dorm room around the campus; anything more would exceed the current funding for the recycling project. Perhaps the institution of a recycling center at the Russell House could cause the impulse to become a habit. But, that would take too much money--with the salaries of workers and the annexing of what would amount to a new wing of the building--to consider for too long. Another solution could be to have the students elect a "recycling committee" to evaluate the problem and decide on the appropriate solution. However, I feel that with the current lull in our recycling campaign, even that would be ineffective. As an altrenative to these two solutions I propose that we, as students and faculty united, institute a plan that is so simple it is already in place in many of the high schools around the state. I propose a system of rewards.
