Having the current homelessness program analyzed for effectiveness and needed changes would be the first place to start in order to get the outcome I desired in the end. I would also hit the streets and speak with the people in need, as well as the people that are in the field, running these programs and working with the needy. Then he would’ve gotten a better understanding of what is lacking and what is actually needed to get the targeted groups of people off the streets and into the shelters and housing assistance
Chief Barbra Grogan finally made her decision and promoted Durwood Wentworth to the rank of sergeant and assigned him to fill the vacancy in Squad Z. Durwood had come to the town of Utopia police department as young college graduate with a degree in criminal justice/public administration. He worked a summer job as a park ranger with the city of Pleasant police department. After 6 months on the job he became the desk sergeant’s assistance with the responsibility of dispatching fellow officer to calls for service within the town of Utopia. He became concerned with the day to day activities of the police department. He attended meeting and did follow up reports that are mainly the sergeants’ responsibility.
Another problem was that even though there are anti-discrimination policies, a slight differential treatment towards minorities is still present. Employers expect and demand more input from minority groups and that is why people are hesitant to leave their workplace to cast a vote (Rivers, 2012). An outside source looks at voting from a different perspective. An interestingly opposing statistic is that minority groups with higher education and social status take the time to participate, as voting is very important to them. They want to take part in the choice of their government because it took so long and so much effort for them to receive the equal rights and abilities to enjoy democracy (Speel, 2010).
he cleared his throat and started speaking saying, “The three strike law that has been instituted has been far from beneficial to our community. We as a community need to take the steps to first realize what this law is doing to our good citizens and what benefits we are given to the people that have made the mistakes, not people lake us sitting here today. I come to communicate how we can abolish this law and get what we rightfully deserve through our tax dollars. First we must gain signatures in hope of displaying a ballet initiative/ measure to a wider audience, or social group rather than keeping quiet in our community. This will allow us to be approved to appear on a statewide ballot to be voted on by the people of California.
We know what causes homelessness, but we are still learning the causes of mental illness. What I would like to accomplish in human services is a better way to manage the lives of those in need. We need better strategies for the programs which we have available in every community of the United States. The way I go about solving personal
Human services assist those who are homeless with finding either a homeless shelter or permenant home. They can assist with their clients basic needs like food, taking care of themselves and their families and at the minimum temporary shelter until they are able to get back on their feet to move
Our mission is to provide shelter, meals, and support services to individuals and families without homes. New Mercies Open Arms is a cost efficient, effective, and replicable community response to homelessness. The primary demand for homeless services is a constant need. Fully 50% of Gwinnett County estimated at 7,100 homeless and 35% of the homeless people are disabled. Due to their severe disabilities and limited incomes, disabled adults have an extremely difficult time securing permanent housing in the competitive market.
In a 1998 survey of 30 cities, it was found that the homeless population was 53% African-American, 35% Caucasian, 12% Hispanic, 4% Native-American, and 3% Asian (Study, 1998). In June 1998, Mayor Schell spoke to the media to address the needs of homeless families and single women in Seattle. He felt that they should address this as a major emergency that affects our society. He noted that as Americans we need to come together to generate solutions to end a growing epidemic of homeless people. This analysis will address Mayor Schell’s zero homeless strategy for the people of Seattle (Ensign & Panke, 2002).
If once position is against giving panhandlers money, donating money to legitimate organizations is a must. Many of these organizations fully dedicate themselves to fighting homelessness. Volunteering some time to organizations and service agencies addressing this issue is another possible venture. When donating money to an organization, make sure that 100 percent of donations help towards getting people off the street into a safe and manageable manner, and often times gets them the proper treatment they need (drug or alcohol addiction). Panhandling is a contentious matter that will most likely never be fully resolved, but being well educated and determined on the subject will help solve the
I could gain support from Ibrahim Mubarak. He’s the co-founder of 2 other homeless villages in Portland. Dignity Village and Right 2 Dream Too. He was once homeless and living on the streets of Portland before he got on his feet and founded these villages. “If the city starts it, it’s not going to be successful, unless they have the houseless people leading it, because they don’t understand living on the street,” Mubarak said (In Portland).
