Living In A Residential Community Analysis

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.

If you serve in the military, you know that moving is a regular event that can be stressful. Relocating to a new area doesn’t have to be taxing for you and your family. Here are some helpful Ft. Bliss housing resources for military family families relocating to El Paso.

On January 31st, 1934 Eva Mozes Kor and her twin sister, Miriam, were born in a small village in Portz, Romania.

The Compass Housing Alliance has long history of assisting people in need, dating back to the 1920s. The Compass Housing Alliance was originally the Lutheran Sailors and Loggers Mission in Pioneer Square, which was founded by Rev. Otto and Mrs. Alva Karlstrom. Their mission was to follow the Good Samaritan, by helping those in need. The Lutheran Mission included services such as a chapel, reading room, Americanization school, a kitchen, bedding (mattresses on the floor), and a postal desk. In 1926, the Lutheran Mission was renamed Lutheran Compass Mission. Because of the Depression, the homeless population grew rapidly in the 1930s. As a result, the Karlstroms went to a fund-raising tour, which covered 10,000 miles and fifteen states in the

Two main reasons contribute to why I would love to become a Housing Ambassador. To help get many prospective and current students excited and involved in campus housing is the first reason. So many people shoot down on campus housing because of the price; however, people do not realize housing is more than just a room you pay for. You live here, study here, and have fun here. There are many events, free stuff, and free food that residence halls and RSA provide for students. I want to be able to show students that off-campus students do not have the same experiences as on-campus students. The second reason I would like to become a Housing Ambassador is for the experience. Ultimately, I would like to become a dean or chancellor of a college in my golden years. Being an Housing Ambassador would provide me with life-long experiences that I could take into my future careers as a business leader, politician, and dean/ chancellor.

One of the things that dormers are responsible for is their finances. When a student chooses to commute, they tend to save money. Commuters do not have to pay for their meals, utilities, furniture for their dorm room, and more. One very expensive fee that commuters avoid is the housing fee. Plus, they are more motivated to get a job which translates to more money in hand.

There has been many physical changes/improvements in the residential life and dorms at Doane. The living experience in the dorms has enhanced over the years, with heating systems instead of having to use stoves, food available in vending machines, drinking fountains are available no longer having to go to spring, which is three hundred feet from each building (Perry et al. 55). It is becoming easier to make friends as there is common spaces for guys and girls to hang out and mingle for example, in the Frees basement where you can watch movies with friends, play pool, and cook.

During the 19th century the Canadian government established residential schools under the claim that Aboriginal culture is hindering them from becoming functional members of society. It was stated that the children will have a better chance of success once they have been Christianised and assimilated into the mainstream Canadian culture. (CBC, 2014) In the film Education as We See It, some Aboriginals were interviewed about their own experiences in residential schools. When examining the general topic of the film, conflict theory is the best paradigm that will assist in understanding the social implications of residential schools. The film can also be illustrated by many sociological concepts such as agents of socialization, class

Suddenly, Colleen M.’s tone softened, then she began answering some of the questions I need to be able to enter into the transitional housing data collection system. She began by stating that she was sober, but she is not working and was currently waiting to have a surgery done. She also said she is having some other health issues, and adamantly stated that she did not want to get into it further. Subsequently, I said I appreciated her time, and apologized for any intrusion. After, I notified Jami of the disgruntled lady, and Jami responded by saying that she was probably drunk. Even though the lady was rude, I was proud that I did not let her rant upset me, but after all, I have dealt with worse already this morning down the street

Within the actual transitional housing community I feel as if my clients feel a sense of belonging. I feel this way because I have witnessed many of the clients relating to one another about the circumstances they are experiencing. Many of them go to one another for support, because they feel as if they are not being judged by others in their same position. Within the transitional housing program all the clients are experiencing homelessness or chronic homelessness for one reason or another. I find that many of the individuals within this community support each other and give advice when needed. In regard to the complete neighborhood that the agency is located within, I do not feel as if the clients feel a sense of belonging. Perhaps clients

Washington, D.C. is rapidly changing in front of the citizen’s eyes. It is becoming a victim of “The Plan,” a theoretical conspiracy plan construed by whites to take over D.C.’s real estate, physical space, and politics. Gentrification in Washington, D.C. can essentially be defined as a shift in the community to attract and accommodate newcomers at the expense of the current inhabitants. In Washington, four neighborhoods are currently in the process of gentrification: Barry Farm, Lincoln Heights/Richardson Dwellings, Northwest One and Park Morton. These particular neighborhoods were specifically targeted by the government for their high crime rates, significant population of impoverished citizens, and inclusion of a certain economic class.

Australia's public housing is not adequately providing safe and secure housing for the disadvantaged and needy. This paper will demonstrate the issues that arise from the poorly planned public housing developments, particularly the issues concerning spatial concentration of commission homes in low socio-economic areas. Australian government agencies are currently exploring solutions to the problems caused by public housing estates, developed primarily following World War II to address the shortage of housing. These homes built around the period of 1940-1960 have created 'stressed' suburbs (National Archives of Australia, 2011). The physical problems of aged infrastructure and inadequately designed housing reflect only part of the issues

“The best that can be said of the conception is that it did afford a chance to experiment with some physical and social planning theories which did not pan out. “ This quote reflects Jane Jacob’s philosophical ideas in an attempt to criticize the social housing’s design approach and its associated urban planning in modern era. “The physical and social theories” outlines the urban planning idea of social housing (Utopian idea) and according to Jane’s statement, such experiment of these theories were deem to be unsuccessful. It is inevitably certain to some extent that a provocative statement towards modern era social housing approaches would hold true due to the minimal success the plans brought to the city, such as solving the working class commendations temporarily. Nevertheless, it is a failure to deliver long-standing social improvements corresponded with the increasing suspicion of modernism, one cannot simply attribute ill fate to its “innovative physical features” (As Jane said, the Utopian and Utopia), but should rather considered a range of other elements in the larger aspect of society: factors such as difficulty of racial integration, problems of financing and management, lack of bridging between architecture and planning, as well as the increasing preference of suburban lifestyle from the rising mid class. These problems reflected evidently in some stereotypes of social housing communities built in the modern era such as Pruitt-Igoe, sunny side Gardens, Paul

In your post you bring up a really great point, “As the reading points out we feed them and offer temporary shelter - we help support their basic needs but it seems to end there.” Based on this reading, this seems to work well for 80% of the homeless population, but not the 10% of extreme cases. Concurring with your post, this is because society is disconnected and because society judges the homeless as shameful. Case and point, while I was reading another post, I believe someone referred to the homeless as scum. Another case and point, with the upcoming nuptials of the royals, because homelessness is viewed as a disgrace and embarrassment, theirs an accretive effort underway to remove the homeless people from sight. Regardless, I believe
