Programs For The Homeless Home Analysis

Homeless is taking place throughout the world. That is an issue because some people still end back on the street or never had the opportunity to get off the street. Some inviduals may still be on the street and never go the opportunity to get off the street. Each inviduals have their own story of how they became homeless. Some inviduals may have ended up homeless due to unemployment, house caught on fire, was staying with a family member who later passed away, never had money save in case of a emergency and the list goes on. The issue that relate to housing for the homeless is that it is not enough space for everyone. The programs that is available tend to be overcrowded due to so many people being homeless with nowhere to go. Another issue with housing for the homeless is the environment in some programs. The environment can be harmful and unhealthy to an inviduals and especially a homeless child. When a child is homeless, that has a effect on them growing up as far as their mentality and their skills and ability of learning.

I have decided to create a social program that identifies the social problem of Homelessness. The new human services, social program will target helping homeless individuals and families to get off the streets. In order to have a successful program I have to come up with an outline and cover all of the basics. This program will have many different resources available to homeless or about to be homeless individuals and families. There are so many homeless people out there and her in the state of Florida there are not many places for homeless people to turn to for comfort and safety. So I am truly excited to be creating this new program that will help many people to go forward and live wonderful and successful lives, no matter what they have been through. Throughout this paper I will be discussing some of the things that are needed in order to start an organization. This paper will serve as an outline or an information source on how to create a social program as well as the social program that I am creating.

Veterans have a higher possibility in becoming homeless than the general population especially if they are in poverty or a minority (Thompson & Bridier, 2013). In human services and other services that have counselors would be able to start a plan of action. A plan of action will provided proper resources for this population. A counselor can also find programs to help find shelter and to get them back into the workforce by looking into the Veteran Affairs (VA) programs.

The bill S1680 relates to school placement and stability for homeless children. The purpose of the bill is to amend the social service law and the education law, in relations to children that are homeless are in out of home care. The bill also creates a process in which New York State is in compliance with the federal fostering connections to the success act. It also clarifies the rights afforded to homeless children in choosing the school and school district they will attend, by changing the language to 3209 of the education law with subtitle B of title VII of the federal McKinney-Vento homeless education assistance act, 42 D.S.C.11431 et seq (NY senate). The purpose of this paper is to get a better understand and illustrate the processes

A Homeless Task Force was created by the Mayor of Sidney, Ohio. He saw that there were homeless citizens who were suffering in the cold. He created a Task Force in order to start programming and community services for these individuals.

The number of the homeless sheltered population in New York City have risen by 73% since 2002 in New York City. By March 2015, there were 60,067 homeless people sleeping each night in the New York City municipal shelter system. Families comprise almost four-fifths of the homeless shelter population. There are 14,245 homeless families with 24,704 homeless children. There are also more than 5,000 homeless individuals staying in additional public and private shelters.

Under overpasses, under graffiti-covered walls, and amid piles of trash, it is sad to see the America's homeless get by the best they can. Homeless build cardboard and plastic shelters, insulate abandoned cars, sleep on mattresses which have been thrown away, and store their belongings in garbage bags. I have also seen them use baby strollers to store their belonging in.

While reading, I felt as if I was in the future, and actually living through the eyes of Charity. I personally can relate to some aspects of Charity. This writing was effective in the way that it kept my attention and very rarely got dull. When it was revealed that Charity’s father was her kidnapper, I felt the shock like it was my own situation. The strengths of this book was its ability to captivate its readers. Not only this, but this book can entertain people of all ages. The weaknesses of this book was that it could often get confusing. But for the most part, it was later explained and figured out. I found this book to be moving. It shows the reader that you can’t truly trust anyone, and that even the people closest to you can go to extreme lengths to get the things they want. I would recommend this book to people of all ages. It will keep you eyes glued to the pages and will make you feel sympathy for the characters at the same

While homelessness may be an issue that is so far from the minds of the average American family, the truth remains that the current homelessness statistics in America suggest that the issue of homelessness is far more average than one could ever imagine. As of January 2012, The National Alliance to End Homelessness published a series of reports that listed the number of homeless Americans at 636,017 with a rate of homelessness at 21 homeless people per 10,000 individuals in the general population (NAEH, 2012, pp.1). While 636,017 may seem small in comparison to the country's 311,291,917 citizens, homelessness remains an issue that stems through the ages, through families, through neighborhoods, through ethnicity and the like. Homelessness detrimentally effects families in their health, mortality rate, and ability to seek out employment and basic education. In further viewing the statistics at hand regarding the homeless, their health and behavior, as well as understanding how these people and this issue can be remedied within our country, an overarching assessment of family life and the causes and relief measures of homelessness must be taken into account.

The housing assistance programs started back in the Great Depression period in 1937 when Congress passed the U.S. Housing Act that represented the start of federal housing assistance in the United States. The program’s purpose was to provide funds to develop public housing units for low-income tenants that were maintained and managed by the local public housing authorities. (Barrymore, 2008) During this time, the nation’s housing stock had very poor quality in most parts of the country. Housing conditions were insufficient. Poor families had to deal with poor conditions such as the lack of hot water or dilapidation. Luckily, public housing was an improvement for those who had the chance to get it. In 1965, HUD was created by the Congress, Housing

The moral solution to chronic homelessness is to create a support system that encourages independency as we are morally obligated to offer help, which benefits society as a whole since providing shelter is more cost efficient than the alternative and provides the foundation for people to become productive members of society. Because we are obligated to help those who cannot help themselves, creating a system that provides basic needs is a moral solution. By implementing a system that provides necessities for the homeless, we reduce annual taxpayer costs; therefore, minimizing harm on society. By encouraging independence in a system while still providing basic needs, it gives the chronically homeless the opportunity to become self reliant,

Individuals and families become homeless for all manner of reasons: loss of jobs, loss of affordable housing, loss of relationship, domestic violence, drug abuse or addiction, chronic mental illness, chronic illness, release from incarceration or other institutional settings with no place to return to, sudden loss of housing due to war or natural disaster, and others. Most of the reasons revolve around poverty and the lack of available and affordable housing.

My first field placement was at a homeless sheltering program for families with children, not a crisis center. All of the families that were involved in the program were experiencing financial hardships and needed the necessary resources to bring them back to self-sufficiency. Reading the article, Understanding the Psychodynamics of Chronic Homelessness from a Self-Psychological Perspective, provided a deeper understanding of the many different aspects which could cause an individual to become chronically homeless. It is quite disheartening to see homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks in the city, and I never gave it much thought as to why they are out there alone on the streets, especially when there are homeless shelters available to

Damian had came to realize that the problem with homeless growing in Los Angeles is an impossible thing to change. The most that they can do is just bring supplies to them. Everybody has their reasons for becoming homeless. It is an impossible thing to do. As well with kindness to others, if somebody wants to mistreat somebody else by the position they are in their life then they are just fools who take things for granted. We don’t come to realize how lucky we are to be living in a home and having all the things we have now.
