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.

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).

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.

Homeless people in Allegheny County, PA are a vulnerable population that needs addressed. Homeless populations consist of individuals, families and veterans who struggle with obtaining the basic needs of life, that many take for granted. A shortage of affordable housing, not enough income to meet basic needs and inefficient support services all contribute to homelessness in the communities (In Nies & In McEwen, 2015, p. 433). Services, help, and resources are available in this county, but getting this vulnerable subset of the population to seek this help, are difficult.

This is just one of multiple people groups that such employees focus on working with. (“What They Do”) This is a hot topic in the field of Human Services because society at large is greatly affected by the homeless population, not to mention the individual value of every single homeless person. (Lara B. Anknin) Assisting them to be able to meet their own needs is the main goal. A huge part of this can be providing transportation for them to make it to the necessary appointments to acquire identification documents and job interviews. Because this position is paid for by a government grant, there is a tremendous amount of paperwork that must be completed. Each client must have a case file that is created and maintained by the Community Support Specialist. This documents their mental, physical, and emotional status. It also documents relevant work history, family history, etc. (Chrystal Butler)

The issue and problem of homelessness is and has been widespread throughout the world; different countries address the problem in a variety of ways. Here in the United States, both the government and nonprofit agencies exist in order to address the wide array of problems homelessness entails. For example, Government programs such as The Collaborative Initiative to Help End Chronic Homelessness exist as a partnered effort by the US Departments of Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Veterans Affairs, and the US Interagency Council on Homelessness. These entities exist in an effort to collaboratively house and deliver services to

Homelessness is an issue in the United States. Individuals often become homeless for reasons such as; joblessness, underemployment, and enervation of unemployment benefits. People with families often do not earn enough income to support a family and provide adequate housing. Some people neglect to pay their rent, and as a result, he or she and possibly the entire family become homeless. In addition, people and families with barriers associated with medical issues, illicit drug use, and sexual/physical abuse may become homeless. The impact of multiple barriers on a person and/or family and lack of available resources to address these needs, is one of the many reasons why homelessness is such a serious issue within communities

Homelessness is a nationwide problem, it has brought tremendous attention to how the issue of homelessness is viewed and dealt with in today’s society. The lack of a solution should be a great concern; society needs to rise up and implement a plan to combat the issue of homelessness. Due to a decrease of affordable housing; lack of job training, along with low wages, and limited mental health and addiction services, the epidemic of homelessness is increasing in the United States. Communities and activist groups must come together and work with nonprofits and government programs to alleviate the homelessness epidemic. There are not enough resources available to deal with mentally ill and drug addicted individuals. Therefore, society has adopted a community and social activist groups to help combat the problems of homelessness.

As a group, we selected the homeless population in Jefferson County, Texas as our advocacy project for Residency II. Our goal was to create a residential organization that would help homeless men to transition back into society. We would offer food, clothing, and an array of services to the clients. Crisis counseling, substance abuse counseling, career counseling, and life skills such as financial literacy to help the homeless clients whose participation would be voluntary. The name of our organization is Homeless Outreach Mentoring & Empowerment (H.O.M.E), we felt that empowering these men with the resources and counseling would reduce the number of homeless men living on the streets.

Homelessness has always been a problem in major cities across the United States and even the world. This problem also affects out local community and even all of us individually. (Daily) A majority of the American people lives paycheck to paycheck, and according to statistics, we are only one or two paychecks away from becoming homeless. While there are many reasons a person or family can become homeless, a majority of those problems come from a lack of income. The job market of today is quickly dwindling and shows no signs of improvement. This market mixed with new government policies is becoming an issue for struggling American’s on the poverty line. Homelessness is becoming a vast problem

Individuals who are homeless or at risk for becoming homeless may experience various occupational issues, such as the following examples, but are not limited to these: difficulties maintaining a job, transportation, and emotional or regulation skills. According to the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) (2008), work is an area of occupation and defined as “activities needed for engaging in remunerative employment or volunteer activities.” Individuals that are homeless have difficulty in obtaining a job due to a deficiency in certain skills sets. Other problems regarding work opportunity is the lack of trust employers may have regarding individuals who are homeless. Society often views people who are homeless lower than themselves and often disregard their talents and
