Public Advocacy: Thevillage

The strategy of CAMBA’s Park Slope Women MICA Shelter is a long-term plan of sustained growth of customer care in New York City. They are strategic when it comes to meeting the pressing needs of New York City dwellers. To begin with, they have identified that mental illness and drugs and substance abuse renders many city dwellers homeless and desperate. Most of the dwellers are hopeless with nowhere else to turn to and CAMBA’s Park Slope Women Shelter comes in as a source of hope for them. This strategy reflects the correct planning on the side of their leaders. This is evident from the fact that market share should be just adequate to cater for the present needs of the community (Drucker et al., 2008). However, over the last few years they

Promote the independence of residents while protecting them as far as possible form danger and harm

A halfway house that is fully functioning offers several pros and cons to nearby neighborhoods. It calculating present can be defined in social and financial terms. However, I would not support a half-way house being opened in my neighborhood. In order for one to understand my point of view and meaning of half-way houses, I must first dissect how these dwellings can support or oppose a community lifestyle. One major concern of a half-way house being opened in a neighborhood is safe. When a halfway house is located in a surrounding area there is a chance of insecurity among potential homeowners. Half-way houses provide a place of residence for individuals that have or struggled with major problems including mental illnesses or drug abuse. This

was developed by the Skid Row Housing Trust with the intention of fighting homelessness with a holistic model to break the cycle of homeless. This particular organization inhabits the complexes with qualified individuals to connect residents with on-site case management, medical care, mental health services, substance use treatment, advocacy and community building (Skid Row Housing Trust, n.d.). The ground floor of the complex is occupied by the Department of Health Services’ Housing for Health division headquarters whose programs aims to house 10,000 of the county’s sickest, most vulnerable homeless in the following decade (Holland,

The objectives for the desired outcomes is to ensure that every veteran, regardless of which war, receives the proper care and treatment of their ailments. This is to include housing our homeless veterans in complexes in which they will feel safe, yet give them the freedom they need to work on their journey of healing. In the process, the veterans families that are affected must not be forgotten as

I personally identify with the public-order perspective because I think public safety is most important. Without public-order our country would be much less organized and wouldn’t be as safe for us to live in. I do believe every person is entitled to their individual rights until the safety of the community is at risk. There are many examples of how public-order keeps the community safe, here are just a couple examples.

They bring homeless veterans in and help them fight these issues until they are stable again, but there is a point when the veterans need to move into another place, as the centers need to make room for

Denver’s homeless population runs in the thousands. Homelessness may be caused or exacerbated by an individual’s chronic mental or physical illness, all issues that the Mental Health Center of Denver (MHCD), a member of the National Council for Behavioral Health, addresses. Integrated housing and recognizing the effects of trauma have already been a part of the services offered by MHCD. After participating in a National Council Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Learning Community, MHCD created a workgroup to discuss integrating more TIC principles into the organization. From this, the concept of integrating these trauma-informed care principles into the center’s housing and residential services emerged.

The community that I will be using is in the city Tampa, Florida. It surrounds my place of employment. During my observation, I notice that there are many minority low income families, shelters for the homeless. Include homelessness. There are three hospitals, 2 urgent care center, Walk-in clinics, a behavioral clinic, nursing homes with extended rehabilitation, few colleges and universities, miniature malls, many dental offices, numerous fast food chains and restaurants. There are two sports complexes: Steinbrenner’s baseball field and the Buccaneer’s Stadium. Also there are many churches, Walmart Super Center, a movie theatre and a Zoo.

This population relies on the clinic for what the clinic calls integrative medical care (M. Lind, personal communication, May 10, 2017). In addition, the Santa Monica non-profit organization OPCC (n.d.), offers a “comprehensive system of care” for the “vulnerable and needy members of (the) community—homeless individuals, victims of domestic violence, at-risk youth, indigent Veterans, and people dealing with severe physical or mental illness or substance abuse”. The organization (which also partners with the Venice Family Clinic) has multiple locations and offers assessments for all. OPCC (n.d.) touts the success of its programs, reporting that the organization “has placed 966 people into permanent housing, 95% of whom remain housed.” As far as the homeless population, Elizabeth Anderson of the Human Services Division believes that Santa Monica “does more than its fair share in making shelter beds available year-round”, especially as compared to greater Los Angeles (personal communication, April 27, 2017). Santa Monica’s Police Department (n.d.) also has a homeless liaison unit which partners on this issue.

Politicians are great with their words, they'll have you agreeing with them, when you should be disagreeing.

In this presentation, we will explore a vulnerable population with the focus on the homeless veterans. According to Mckinney Act”(1987) A homeless person is one who lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence. One who has a primary nighttime residence that is a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter, a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized, or a public or private place not ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings. Vulnerable populations are often used to portray groups

My paper purpose is to show you how a housing authority location assist the communities with tutorial programs, Section 8, health factors, and safety, parenting classes to help people with low income to be able to rent a home at an affordable price.

The case study is composed of interviews, media analysis, and a spatial analysis of group homes in Worcester. The interviews with stakeholders in the siting of social service facilities are used extensively throughout the article once the author introduces the case study. These interviews help provide a direct view of the topic which usually wouldn’t be readily available in public channels such as city council, zoning board meetings, or press conferences. An example of is the use of social service administrators voicing their opinion on the Dover Amendment, a law which “exempts religious and educational institutions from local land use laws” (Pierce et al., 2012). The authors go on to use their media analysis to present info that would readily available to the public, such as their use of the social service’s press confrence on their accused abuse of the Dover Amendment. Spatial analysis of Worcester is used to reinforce the presented concept that the best places for social service facilities isn’t where they're located due to the political back channels they need to go

It could be posited that their manifesto is a contradiction because it’s in a book that they themselves created but the aim of the book was to encourage artistic forms of activism, it offered genuine advice on how to set up your own screen-printing workshops specifically and how they can aid your cause. The book in this instance was undoubtedly a success as it influenced social movements the world over.
