Silver Linings
Goals and Missions of Silver
Linings Are:  My organization will work with homeless women and
children residing within my current Oklahoma
community. We will help them by:
1. We will offer homeless women and children a safe
shelter and help to see the silver lining again.
2. Complete a self-needs assessment.
3. Identify what happened that brought them to be
homeless.
4. What is preventing them from not being homeless
anymore?
5. Set a plan to obtain services that will lead to them
achieving success.
6. Connect them to services within the community and
support groups as needed.
7. We will offer substance and mental health counseling.
8. On-site daycare.

3. Political, Economic, Social, and Technological
Social, Political, and
Economical Factors:
1. A Lack of Financial Stability leads to not
obtaining or keeping affordable housing.
2. Mental Health Issues/Health Issues and
lack of treatment are obtained.
3. Substance abuse problems could be
present.
4. They may be experiencing
unemployment, issues obtaining a job, or
transportation to work or daycare.
5. Being able to shower daily could impact
them.
6. They may not have many clothes to
change into or food to eat.
Other Social Factors:
1. Being able to obtain or find
rehab or counseling.
2. Lack of education or training
could prevent gainful
employment for some of them.
3. Having a support group to
encourage them not to give up.
Technological Factors:
1. They may not have access to a
phone to obtain rides to
appointments, doctors, or giving
them the ability to find shelter,
food, clothes, jobs, and stay
connected with anyone.
2. They may not know how to use a
computer to make resumes, gain
skills for future jobs, or search
for help.

4. Culture and Diversity
HOW IS SILVER LININGS CULTURALLY DIVERSE AND
INCLUSIVE:
I think that the most significant factor of culture and
diversity that my clients will be affected by is the
prejudgment that follows the stigmatism of being
homeless. Our client’s may struggle with them being
judged, harassed, and made fun of by community
members. This happening may cause them to want to give
up and continue to feel like it is indeed hopeless. My
organization will have to continue showing them the light
at the end of the tunnel. The women will face prejudice,
racism at times, and discrimination—or even being treated
like they must be drug users, alcoholics, criminals, or like
they chose to be homeless and are not equal to everyone
else due to their situation. Silver Linings is here to help all
women equally without judgment no matter the gender,
race, or beliefs they hold.

5. The
Organizational
Theory We Use:
THE MATRIX THEORY WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN
ORDER TO ENSURE THAT OUR CLIENTS WILL BE
SUCCESSFUL IN ACHIEVING THEIR GOALS.
THE STEPS OF OUR ORGANIZATIONAL THEORY:
 CLIENTS WILL COMPLETE AN INTAKE
ASSESSMENT
 CLIENTS WILL BE ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER
THEY WILL SEE ONCE A WEEK.
 CLIENTS WILL BE ASSIGNED A THERAPIST THEY
WILL SEE WEEKLY.
 CLIENTS WILL SEE A DR. THEY WILL SEE
MONTHLY.
 CLIENTS WILL ALSO HAVE A LIFE COACH THAT
THEY WILL WEEKLY OR AS THEY NEED TO IF MORE
THAN WEEKLY.
 THERE WILL BE WEEKLY TEAM MEETING HELD.
THIS WILL KEEP ALL THE TEAM UP TO DATE ON
HOW THINGS ARE GOING, AND IF CHANGES NEED
TO OCCUR. IT WILL ALSO GIVE EVERYONE A
CHANCE TO OFFER IDEAS, THOUGHTS, AND
CONCERNS THERE MAY BE FOR THE CLIENT'S
TREATMENT PLAN.
 BY HAVING A TEAM OF PEOPLE WORKING
TOGETHER TO HELP EACH CLIENT WE ARE
ENSURING A HIGHER RATE OF SUCCESS AND
COMPLETION FOR EACH CLIENT.

7. Information that will be Documented:
WE USE A FORMAT TO KEEP TRACK OF EACH CLIENT THAT ENTERED OUR FACULTY. TO KEEP TRACK OF SUCCESS RATE, THE
ADVANCEMENT OF EACH ONE A SCHOOLING, ETHIC TO KEEP ALL CLIENTS EQUAL.
CASE MANAGERS WILL NOTATE WHERE EACH CLIENT SEES THEIR LIFE IN ONE YEAR AND WHAT THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE AT
SILVER LININGS. KEEPING THIS INFORMATION CHARTED, OUR PERSONAL LIFE COACHES WILL KNOW HOW TO HELP GIVE
DIRECTION, AVAILABLE PATHS, AND CLIENT CHOICES. DOCUMENTING THEIR PROGRESS, EACH CLIENT HAS A DIFFERENT
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF SCHOOLING, ETC., AND IDENTIFYING BARRIERS THEY MAY BE STRUGGLING WITH.
THE LIFE COACH WILL ASSIST CLIENTS IN FINDING JOB OPPORTUNITIES, TRANSPORTATION, CONNECTING THEM WITH
RESOURCES, ETC.—HELPING THEM MOVE FORWARD IN EVERY STEP. THIS WILL ALSO INCLUDE HELPING THEIR CHILDREN, IF
APPLICABLE, AND KEEPING A RECORD OF IT ALL, WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH OTHER TEAM MEMBERS EVERY FRIDAY AT
STAFF MEETINGS. THESE RECORDS WILL ENSURE THAT THE TEAM IS ON THE SAME PAGE, HELPING THE CLIENTS WORK
TOWARDS THE SAME GOALS AND THAT THEY ARE ALL INFORMED.
THERAPISTS AND DR.’S WILL HOLD INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS WITH ALL CLIENTS. THEY WILL NEED TO DOCUMENT THESE
SESSIONS, SUCCESSES AND FAILURES, CONCERNS, THOUGHTS, AND AREAS THAT NEED WORKED ON.
ALL INFORMATION DOCUMENTED WILL BE USED TO ENSURE SUCCESS OF OUR CLIENTS AND TO DETERMINE WHAT IS NEEDED
TO HELP THE CLIENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT REACHING ALL GOALS.

9. Evaluation:
Our organization will use Quantitative and qualitative
methods to decide if we successful met all the original goals
and objectives. By using the quantitative method analyzes
different variables and factors using surveys, analysis, and
observations. While the qualitative method uses facts
gathered during assessments and group meetings, other
cases with the clients and even the staff notes would come
into play. The clients and staff will complete surveys
throughout process, there will be a suggestion box to gather
ideas. Before the clients are leave the program, they would
again complete another questionnaire that asks them what
they think worked best for them to enable them to complete
the program successfully and what they feel needs
improvement. The same for the staff also. We will also
analyze recorded data like how many people completed the
program, how many were successful when they left my
organization, and whether we have any return clients
because they did not make it once they left. The two
methods together will give me a better understanding of
whether we succeeded at our goals and exactly how our
company and the clients reached the objectives. I would use

10. Conclusion:
In the world today Domestic Violence and Homelessness are real problems. It is my
organization mission to get the women and children that fall victim to these problems off the
treat and help them to obtain a fresh start. We will offer them necessary programs, therapy,
rehab, help each step of the way to become stable, empowered, and self-sufficient so that
they are able to heal past trauma, and obtain a home, better lifestyle, be healthier, and
become stable and safe.
Each client will be assigned a team of people from my organization that will walk this
journey with them and guide them through making decisions. This team will only have their
best interests at heart and will be dedicated to see the client's success.
