The Homeless Program: A Short Story

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.

Ben joined the Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County in 2013 as a part-time Facility Manager. Through his hard work and dedication, he was promoted to the Case Management Department as a Men’s Case Manager by the end of 2013. Having acquired his Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington, Ben’s attentiveness in serving the homeless population advanced as a team-player and recognized this was where he belonged.

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.

Kathy and Raymond have visits one day per week for two hours per day. Worker supervises these visits once per month. The first visit this worker will be supervising is on November 23, 2016. These visits occur at the Godfrey, Illinois McDonalds play place, but were taking place outside in the community prior to this when the weather is nicer.

Johnathan spent most of the visit in the play place and Zoey spent most of the visit on the tablet. Raymond left the visit and returned 20 minutes later telling Kathy “they (the children)

The followings are the possible extraneous variables that can be influenced the study include: Settings, present health status, and the tool using (tape recorder). Settings can influence the result of this study because homeless individuals who live on the streets roam around and they normally do not have a stable place to be. Fortunately, these particular homeless individuals can be controlled because they can be targeted at Salvation Army Ministries lunches serving streets in most of the Polk County. These individuals regularly roaming on these specific streets and corners to get lunch every day and they will be the best participants to recruit for this study. The present health status must also consider because if their basic needs such

Miranda C. Watkins usually I send a private email to those who are leaving the Homeless Program... in my 19 years of working here, truly I find joy in getting to know and work with you. We built a trust that I pray will last for years to come and hopefully out paths will one day cross again...

The homeless assistance programs in the United States are overloaded. There are more than half a million people who are currently homeless, either sleeping outside, in a transitional housing program, or in some sort of emergency shelter. Nearly 180,000 of those people are considered as unsheltered, meaning they sleep outside on the streets, or in makeshift tent cities (The State of Homelessness in America 2015, 2015). While the stigma of those who are homeless is widely perceived as those who are drug addicts, there are many other reasons people can find themselves without a place to call home. Foreclosure, poverty, eroding work opportunities, decline in public assistance, lack of affordable housing, domestic violence, and mental illness are

In the midst of the homeless situation Bloomberg introduced a new prevention program Homebase, who worked mostly in the preventive service. Homebase worked with landlords in the legal aspect to prevent families to enter the shelter. Also, Bloomberg presented two different programs to assist family to exit the shelter. First Housing Stability Plus and the Work Advantage. Both programs failed to assist enough families to transition into a permanent location. The programs was a double-edge sword. Families moved out, however in order to be eligible for the program families needed to eligible for Public Assistance in top of it, families could not go over the poverty line, because the families will stop to be eligible for the program. By the end of Bloomberg at least 10000 families were in shelter. Lastly, the tendency showed no signs of reversing in the last years of Bloomberg administration. (Asher, Colin 2011).

Homelessness affects millions of Americans each year, with approximately one third of this population suffering from severe mental disorders. In Las Cruces we have a number of homeless people that have a mental disorder. Las Cruces does not provide the homeless mentally ill with sufficient services. it is necessary to provide them with support, protection, treatment, and rehabilitation.

The implication of my essay is, unless the criminal law of Victoria changes, the regulations of homelessness will consist of unreasonable restrictions of their movements to satisfy the majority population. The law has to balance the needs and wants of every person, and initially the law protects the right to protest (Mitchell 2005, p88). However, as time progresses, the individuals’ rights to privacy in public were prioritised instead (2005, p88). Although this statement referred to political dissent, it can also be interpreted for the anti-begging law that has restricted the homeless ability to communicate in public places, in order to produce a situation for the majority citizens to travel the streets of Melbourne undisturbed. As stated previously,

percent increase since the homeless count in 2013 (Halstead). These numbers are only expected to go up in the coming years, as long the problem of not enough room in shelters exist.

Who would have ever imagined years ago there would be so many people living out onto the streets. So many people just go on with their day to day lives not even paying attention to the struggling ones around them. There are some many people just walking past them every day without stopping to just asking them questions or even so just simply judging them. Ronald Davis- homeless Chicago man who had been living on the street for one year and a half as of April 2013 tells a heartbreaking story of surviving on the streets. He explain how he attempts to make his day to day living. Now this is just one of the 100 million estimated homeless people in the world. People tend to tell them to get a job, but how are they suppose to get a job if there is no phone to call them on? Or how are they supposed to get a job if the employer says that they are not dressed well enough. So, is there any room to ask what is there seriously being done to help homeless people?

The homeless stand down was an eye-opener experience for me. I had the opportunity to interact with several individuals, and one family. Initially I conducted some interviews with them to help complete the questionnaire; and the remainder of the time, I escorted the individuals and helped them choose items that were necessary for them. As I talked to each of them, I realized that the present state of these individuals were a product of the current economic situations. According to the National Homeless Coalition (2009), work factors are one of the many reasons why individuals are homeless. One of the individuals that I spoke to informed me that he was working a regular nine to five job at a construction site, but now due to the

As with every service planning area, there are numerous services or shelters that tend to the homeless. With the San Gabriel Valley services being so distant and clustered, it was difficult to assess the overall feel of the homeless services. That is, it was difficult to find any homeless shelters even with the use of a handheld GPS and map, signifying that access to the homeless services is not as simple as it sounds. On the other hand, it was not at all difficult to find other services that seemed, to be very helpful for the homeless in general. A screenshot of the area (above) shows the charity and centers grouped within a few blocks of one another, yet very distant from the other groups.
