Unfortunately this process is not without obstacles and we are a long way off from reaching an ideal system. Lack of resources and funding may leave these clients for an indefinite amount of time in such a program. Supportive housing is growing more limited every day with the increasing homeless population in NYC. Clients with histories of substance abuse or with specific criminal backgrounds such as arson or sexual offenses are close to impossible to be placed. There is also a large number of undocumented clients who are not eligible to housing due to their status. These individuals do not have access to any benefits or entitlements, making it impossible to be placed in supportive housing. There are programs to help them go back to their home

Thou didst promise to hearken to our supplications, to dry our tears and to give us consolation and relief. Never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, either for the common welfare, or in personal anxieties, was left unaided.
We are a shelter program that offers safe housing and support for survivors (and their children) of Domestic Violence and or Sexual Assault. It is our goal of the shelter program to help survivors of domestic violence become independent and able to take care of themselves. With this goal in mind, our program provides counseling services, domestic violence and sexual assault information, legal advocacy and crisis intervention. We also provide referrals and information about legal, medical, housing and other social services issues.

As humans, we long to be recognized. When what we are doing is ignored or looked over, it is difficult to find the will power to keep going. Without the Holy Spirit’s daily guidance, it is easy to lose passion for doing what is right.
Many of you are reading this manual as part of your efforts to prepare as a spiritual care professional who will be ready to respond during times of disaster. Your main role will be to provide emotional and spiritual support to those affected by disaster, but it is also critical for you to understand the context in which you will be providing this support—the bigger picture, so to speak.

We must continue to look to God; the only one who can truly help us and the only one who truly cares about us in our time of need.

No-Kill Shelters are very different from Kill and Low-Kill Shelters. For example, Maddie’s Fund wrote that no-kill shelters save all healthy and treatable dogs and cats. They will even keep the animal until it gets adopted. Around 7.6 million dogs and cats are sent to an animal shelter every year. But only 4.9 animals are saved mostly by no-kill shelters. However, if the animal is unhealthy or untreatable, they will put it down. Also, they only take in animals that are adoptable. Pet360 stated, “They do not accept animals without appointments and have a very thorough screening process. Additionally, these shelters often will not accept animals over a certain age,
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 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
I passionately believe in helping and giving back to others, consequently I made a year long project as the president of Interact Club to make a ShelterBox fundraiser. Along with a girl I met during camp, we were the first Interactors to take initiative for a cause that Rotary had always helped. Still, I was like a domesticated turkey lost in the entrance of a maze: not knowing where to start. Though my goal of raising awareness in my community only further pushed me to contact outsiders . However, my partner and I had many incidents of miscommunications and finding a team with the same goal and work ethic was rather difficult.
