...Social Program: Homeless Antone N. Green HSM/240 PUBLIC POLICY DEVELOPMENT IN HUMAN SERVICES April 19, 2015 Introduction: Homelessness has become a national issue. “At a point in time in January 2012, 633,782 people were experiencing homelessness. The national rate of homelessness was 20 homeless people per 10,000 people in the general population. The rate for Veterans was 29 homeless Veterans per 10,000 Veterans in the general population” (N.A.E.H, 2013). Due to the lack of affordable housing has resulted in vast and growing homelessness among individuals and families. Homelessness is not only a type of poverty but also a severe state of residential instability. Homelessness is increased by behavioral problems, alteration of mental health rule, differences in health and health care, racial disparities, substance abuse, domestic violence, variation in affordable housing, and lack of social support. Thesis Statement: The deficiency of affordable housing has resulted in widespread homelessness and has become a national problem The" Mission for the National Homeless" has decided to combat homelessness by providing food, shelter and other benefits and services to the homeless people. We will focus on providing housing, food distribution to fight hunger, educational, vocational and other services. We intend to fund our programs through private donations as well as federal and state funding. Problem: “Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines homelessness...

...surviving-requiring the necessities of life” (13). As Lemert points out “sociological competence comes to an awareness of the bigger social things by beginning with what is right or wrong” (25). He observes the competence of the homeless: “They know what poverty is because they experience hunger first; they know what it is like, to search for shelter, warmth and food every night but they still get by each day because they accept these facts in order to survive (Lemert, 25). Sociological competence helps us to get by in life without real instruction on how to do so; when one looks on how to survive each day they...

...PERSUASIVE SPEECH TRANSCRIPT Poverty Video Link 16.3 Speeches in Action Notice how this attention getter grabs the audience by using an interesting story. Joy introduces the topic and shows the importance in this section. The speaker gives a simple but effective preview of the main points to be covered in the speech using Monroe’s Motivated Sequence. In this section, Joy cites recent and credible evidence to support her claims. 440 Chapter 16 Joy Zoodsma Western Michigan University Bohn Fawkes was a B-17 pilot during World War II who flew a number of missions over Germany. On one such occasion, his fuel tank was hit by an enemy missile, and he was forced to land the plane. Miraculously, he survived, upon which he discovered the missile had not detonated. If it had, his plane and he would have exploded immediately. Upon returning to the United States, Fawkes asked to keep the unexploded missile as a souvenir, a sign of goodwill toward him. However, upon further investigation it was found that not one but eleven missiles had hit his fuel tank. They were immediately sent off to intelligence for further investigation where it was revealed that all eleven missiles were empty, save one. The one missile contained a note, written in the Czech language, that said, “This is all we can do, for now.” A courageous Czechoslovakian factory worker had disarmed the missiles and written the note. He realized he couldn’t end the war, but he could save...

...Service Learning Assignment: Houston Food Bank Volunteer Day Service Learning, volunteerism and community service are similar acts of service, but they are certain characteristics that distinguish the three as well. Service-learning involves students in community service activities and applies the experience to personal and academic development. Service-learning course objectives are linked to real community needs that are designed in cooperation with community partners and service recipients. Service-learning engages students in a three-part process: classroom preparation through explanation and analysis of theories and ideas; service activity that emerges from and informs classroom context; and structured reflection tying service experience back to specific learning goals. Volunteerism is any activity that involves spending time, unpaid, doing something that aims to benefit the environment or someone (individuals or groups) other than, or in addition to, close relatives. Central to this definition is the fact that volunteering must be a choice freely made by each individual. This can include formal activity undertaken through public, private and voluntary organizations as well as informal community participation. Community service is services volunteered by individuals or an organization to benefit a community or its institutions. The terms are similar because they are all benefiting an individual and ultimately an entire community. Also, each method is a learning experience...

...of the SNAP program is the benefit to the economy. The increase of one billion dollars in SNAP expenditures raises the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which raises employment (Wilde, 2013). In addition the increase in benefits recently also contributed to the economic upturn. According Gundersen (2015) the SNAP program has shown to reduce poverty and improve children’s health and historically has proven social policy can work. Unfortunately, with such an enormous policy there will be weaknesses and limitations. Even as big as the program is it still excludes families just above the poverty line (Wilde, 2013). Furthermore benefits allotted to families is still not enough. For that reason many people still utilize food pantry and soup kitchens even though they receive SNAP benefits. According to a report written by the USDA inflation due to the recession raised food prices (Nord, 2013). Causing a direct effect on benefits not being enough to get families...

The studies include a sizable group of parents and other caregivers who received TANF at the point of sample selection or shortly thereafter, and share a wide range of similar measures of economic well-being. This analysis provides descriptive information on how these families are faring over time. Our results confirm what has been found by previous studies. Many families remain dependent on public benefits, and are either poor or near-poor, despite gains in some indicators of economic well-being. We caution that these aggregate statistics may mask important heterogeneity among families. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: PRWORA; TANF; Welfare reform ⁎ Corresponding author.

...Assignment 4: Rewarding Volunteers Due Week 8 and worth 200 points The Online University has established a broadcasting station that must be staffed with volunteers because of budgetary constraints. Volunteers are selected and trained to fill certain roles. The program director did not have a leadership style that worked well with the volunteers, and ultimately he left. For nine months, there was no program director. Another newly hired program director did not get along with the volunteers, and this time, the volunteers resigned and left the station with little help. Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you: 1. Analyze the causes of the problem with understaffing at the Online University. - Budgetary constraints - Who trained and selected the volunteers - What type of trained they received - Leadership - Why did the director leave? - For nine months, no program director. - New program director did not get along with the volunteers (what type of leadership style he or she have) - All volunteers resigned without warning. Business environments these days make it vital for organisations to have a competent manager and leader, who knows his own responsibilities; but can also guide and direct others in their work areas. Companies select leaders who can use their leadership techniques to modify their company into a secure and profitable business. Effective leadership undoubtedly affects work motivation, as it can increase team morale and motivation and can...
