Keystone Outreach Program Plan

Based on the current working conditions and the economy, implementing a policy of helping the homeless finding low-wage jobs to the adjusted living wage would greatly mitigate many obstacles that the working poor as well as the homeless are facing. This would allow Jennifer to be able to provide for herself and for her kids. In her current conditions, the low-wages have prevented her from taking care of herself properly as well as forced her to be homeless as she struggles to pay the rent for the apartment as well as provide adequate food for herself and kids. By implementing this policy, this would greatly reduce the amount of poverty the United States is currently having as well as provide the basic necessities that all humans should

Housing in Toronto is at an all time high, through research found it has become apparent that there is a significant problem with affordable housing. Although finding affordable housing is not necessarily impossible, those who are lucky enough to find affordable accommodations end up with other issues that are beyond their control such as pests and property maintenance issues. Many families living in Toronto are considered middle class and could easily afford to live anywhere else, the rent prices are too steep in the city for them to afford. The city is growing at a healthy rate and there is already a significantly high homeless rate in the city. The purpose of this proposal is to introduce a few organizations that have plans to help this

First, government provides housing assistance to low-income families. Low-income families just need pay 30% of their total income for rent. Second, mainstream programs provide a safety net for homelessness. This net makes mainstream programs like housing assistance, welfare, and substance support could provide what homelessness need quickly. Third, Communities created a data system to record information about homelessness. These information could be analyzed to help people know the cause of people become homeless, how long people become homeless, what exactly homeless people need, and the effect of mainstream’s support. Government already saw some positive influence of these programs. The number of family homelessness decreased 43 percent in Hennepin Country. New York creased 11 percent of homeless families was placed by a permanent housing. (National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2010)

For some it will allow them to find employment ,and for others it may help with learning how to live independently through their independent living program. (South Metro Human Services, 2015). This human service entity also helps those who are homeless by teaching them life skills such as budgeting money, obtaining a representative payee if they receive government assistance, as well as meeting their immediate basic needs such as food, shelter and clothing if when needed. They have a staff of clinicians, therapists, ACT nurse, receptionist among a host of others that allow this center to be successful in its endeavors. (South Metro Human Services, 2015).

With Youngstown leading the nation with a poverty rate of 49.7%, it is clear that this isn’t a good place to live. It is one of six cities with greater than 40% poverty in the U.S, and has over 63.3% of children living below the poverty line. The metropolitan statistical area of which Youngstown is a part of is ranked just 16 from the bottom of the poverty barrel. While it’s apparent Youngstown is struggling, there is one

Poverty has been a problem in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for years. The introduction of TANF seemed to be a hopeful new start for families in need, but what has TANF really instituted and accomplished? After years of a system of welfare “recipients” gaining cash assistance from the government, the new system was meant to inspire welfare “participants” to actively work in order to earn their cash assistance. While TANF has been implemented across the country, it’s effect on Milwaukee has yet to show any great significance. Temporary Assistance to Needy Families is simply a reformation of the welfare system with stringent work requirements, yet lacking the employment opportunities and resources necessary to accomplish its broad range of goals, ultimately to the disadvantage of those dependent on it.

In order to combat homelessness and restore the people of the united states to their fullest capabilities, the government has to take the initiative to provide more funding for the homeless. This includes providing shelters for the homeless, while also building jobs for the unemployed ,and raising awareness to all that homelessness is a problem that needs to be addressed.

With the SAHP agency and its various functions and programs developed in light of the needs assessment, agency qualifications will be thoroughly presented and clarified. Additionally, collaborations with surrounding human service agencies will be mapped out and further discussed. As for dissemination of information and marketing, SAHP literature will be distributed to surrounding community centers catering to the homeless population and the surrounding areas of Lancaster Avenue.

I have spent copious amounts of time in communities stricken with low socioeconomic statuses, less fortunate than the usual neighborhoods I see in Pikesville. The experiences has engrained a strong moral compass into me, leading me to have a solid goal; of beautifying and bettering areas of destitute.

The Fruitful Blessing Outreach will assist with reintegration of the homeless back into the community providing homes and jobs. Programs established in Alachua County will achieve reintegration of the homeless population. The Fruitful Blessing Outreach places the homeless in contact with the appropriate agencies responsible for finding them jobs in the community, and low-income housing. “Alachua County Coalition for the Homeless and Hungry” are one of the organizations set in place to help the homeless community within Alachua

I hope this message finds you in good health. As you know home and supplies are some of the most important necessities people need in life. Helping out individuals deprived of these necessities is a must for those with the power to do so. Today, I am contacting you on behalf on my team with a goal to build affordable houses for the people who are financially able to move out of the shelters and start living on their own. As we have made the intent to build a housing society for homeless people, achieving this goal is not so easy which is why we want your company, J.C. Penny to help us make this dream true. Accomplishing this goal will help to decrease the number of homeless in Dallas and also ensure that those who are ready to move into homes will no longer have to wait for available housing.

Family Promise of Summit County is an emergency hope center for homeless families with children. Family Promise began in 2004 when community leaders saw the desperate need for families with children to find a shelter where they could stay together. These leaders set to work by researching the necessary human and financial resources to create the Interfaith Hospitality Network, now Family Promise of Summit County. While many programs must separate children from their families during a homeless crisis, their mission is to help families with children stay together while they achieve sustainable independence (Family Promise of Summit County). Their vision is as follows: “To Keep Families Together, to alleviate the trauma of homelessness and assist families in securing a stable home environment” (Family Promise of Summit County).

The agency I am doing my internship at is SEK-CAP CHOICES Head Start here in Pittsburg, Kansas. I am following a family service worker who works with families to reach their individual potential for self-sufficiency. In this paper I will talk about the history, the structure and support, direct services, and cultural awareness of SEK-CAP CHOICES.

New York City is home to about 186,000 young people between the ages of 17 through 24 who are homeless, in foster care, involved in the justice system, or are neither employed nor enrolled in an educational institution (Opportunity Youth Agenda). These youth have been coined the term “opportunity youth” by the White house. An estimated fewer than 40,000 disconnected youth were reached by city programs which leaves over two thirds of youth underserved. The percentage of youth ranging from ages 16 to 24 participating in the labor market has decreased from 45 percent to 29 percent. This in turn has spiked unemployment rates from 13 percent to 20 percent for that age group. According
