SHARP Foundation Case Study

New Hope Housing addresses several areas of the McKinsey framework for capacity. Specially, strategy, staff and leadership, funding, and advocacy are addressed within their plan. Although it is interesting, the infrastructure was not thoroughly discussed within their plan, that would need evaluated to address the additional programs and initiatives they seek to accomplish.

From the start of the redevelopment process, community residents from all walks of life were invited to participate in the decision-making process. They came up with unique and realistic ways to address the community’s issues, which were identified through input from those experiencing them. This process empowered citizens to take action, led to the development of unique ideas, and gave the movement legitimacy in the eyes of the community. Without these results, the redevelopment efforts would have either proven ineffective because they would not have address the community’s actual needs or met resistance. Although it began in 1984, the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative is still making improvements to the community in 2017, demonstrating the long-term empowerment that CPBR gives its

The purpose was to connect and to find common ground. The hope was that community stakeholders could work together. The motivation was to invest in the core vibrancy of our community. The ambition was that projects could develop. The priorities were smart design, the arts, and entrepreneurship.

We hope this neighborhood design will fit their needs and help them become more self-efficient. The shared space can help them create a community of support. Other communities they have developed tiny home communities have onsite social workers and counselors available for

Therefore, the goal of the program is to build the Southern Kentucky Community Center in order to expand programs and a fitness area into a bigger space in 2016, beside the Lifeline Home Care in Burkesville. The facility will provide for our main programs, such as, teaching youths to be more involved within the community on a regular bases as well as providing empowerment to teens and adults who are considered at-risk, art and physical education classes, drug use counseling, education and advisement for adults on employment opportunities as well as resume building.

In developing this Plan, the City undertook an extensive community engagement process to understand the community’s aspirations and to establish a foundation based on the vision for the future.” Yes, there are developments aside for continuing to provide the best quality of education, transportations, housing and job

The assessment of Canada’s housing policy is based more upon the need of its citizen versus the right. Over the years, homelessness has developed in size and complication in Canada (Gaetz, Tarasuk, Dachner, & Kirkpatrick, 2006). Originally, the homeless crisis was a major concern of urban centers like Montreal, Laval, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and Toronto, but rising frequency of homelessness in the suburbs is compelling an immediate response (Laird, 2007). In response to the surmounting homelessness that Canada is facing, the Federal Government of Canada proposed $120 million annually from April 2014 until April 2019 with $700 million in new funding to renew its Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) in Action Plan 2011(Government of Canada, 2016). The response to the surmounting threat of homelessness is comparable to the response the United States taken with the PATH policy. Similar to the United States’ policy, Canada’s response is community-based to the need of the citizen afflicted. However, there are key differences in policy such as the PATH policy offers outreach services, screening and diagnostic treatment services, and case management services that are more individual intensive (Benefits.Gov, 2016).

After hours of thinking and discussion our leadership group came to the conclusion that we would, give back to a women's home by the name of Seton Home. This was a domicile for single teen and adult women, with children who were homeless.

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

The most successful, long term, low-income housing projects are those that use sustainable design and address the social, cultural, and economic needs of residents. Traditionally built low-income housing projects are associated with high crime rates and high mortality rates among the residents who live in them. They do not provide for the needs of residents, resulting in many of the problems these low-income housing projects face today. These problems range from endangerment of human life, psychological afflictions due to the high stresses that are endured by residents, disease epidemics caused by overcrowding and unsanitary living conditions (in combination with a substandard public

was developed by the Skid Row Housing Trust with the intention of fighting homelessness with a holistic model to break the cycle of homeless. This particular organization inhabits the complexes with qualified individuals to connect residents with on-site case management, medical care, mental health services, substance use treatment, advocacy and community building (Skid Row Housing Trust, n.d.). The ground floor of the complex is occupied by the Department of Health Services’ Housing for Health division headquarters whose programs aims to house 10,000 of the county’s sickest, most vulnerable homeless in the following decade (Holland,

The issues of accessing more permanent supportive housing options and ending veteran homelessness, has been recognized by many community stakeholders. These community stakeholders consist of Homeless Continuums of Care, including non-profit and faith based homeless service providers, local governments, Supportive Services for Veterans Families providers, Public Housing Authorities, Veterans Services Organizations, human service non-profits, landlords, and businesses. Governor Terry McAuliffe recognizes the need for preventing and ending veteran homelessness by restoring hope and dignity to our veterans and providing the housing stability necessary to rebuild their lives in Greater Richmond (Homewardva, 2015). Even though veteran homelessness

We live in a day and age where most Canadians do not concern themselves with the odds of them being placed in a long-term care facility due to the presence of our health care system, however, a greater number of individuals should be more cogitative about the possibility of needing to be put in a home and that not being an immediate option. According to the Ontario Long Term Care Association (2015) over 40% of the long-term care homes in Ontario are small, with 96 or fewer beds. With the aging of the baby boomers within the next couple of years, 96 beds are simply not enough. The hardship of leaving the comfort of one’s home is stressful enough, without having to worry whether or not there will be open availability in the local nursing home. This report examines

S263). This test is “11 questions in the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Module” and was issued on a scale of one to eight (Montgomery et al. S263). Another test conducted by a different team was used on a scale of either affective or psychotic and it was called the IES-R (Helfrich et al. 119). Both testing groups decided that housing and constant therapeutic sessions were key into reintroducing people to society. The most difficult problem with their conclusions is the aspect of housing. Housing First is one of the many healthcare and housing organizations to yield multiple aids for the homeless and mentally ill (Somers et al. 1). These aids consist of sustainable market housing without the requirement of a lease (Somers et al. 1). “Our findings confirm that HF programs- particularly the ones using scattered site format- promote reductions in offending and reconviction among people who were previously homeless and have a current mental illness ” (Somers et al. 6). By using a “scattered site format,” the organization chose a random sample that pulled many subjects from the streets and put them through the HF program. This was one of the first real solutions shown in reintroducing the once homeless into society. Haven for Hope homeless shelter is centered on returning the homeless and mentally ill to community. They have plans on renovating one of the male housings into a psychiatric facility with rooms for the residents

challenge that is definitely worth accepting. The Eden Project has won numerous awards and has been very economically beneficial for the local economy. In the first three years it is estimated that the Eden project contributed “£0.5 billion to the local economy” (Thomson, 2017). The Eden Project is not just a greenhouse, it is an educational charity, reaching out to help neighborhoods all over Britain through the “Big Lunch” project. These social extensions help to create spaces that connect individuals with each other and the living world. Sir Tim Smit, co-founder of the Eden Project states of it that the interior space is the “best classroom of the world, that is to say we wanted it to be a place where you would learn effortlessly because
