An Annotated Bibliography on Solving the Problem of Homelessness in New York City
How is it that in the greatest city on Earth so many people do not have a place to call home? An average of 60,000 people, about two thirds of them families and children, are sleeping each night in the city’s homeless shelters in the current fiscal year (New York City Department of Homeless Services, 2020). This statistic does not even take into account the many thousands of unsheltered homeless in New York City. The homeless come from all parts of the city and include people of all races, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Not surprisingly, however, homelessness tends to impact racial minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people with substance addictions, and people battling mental illness. According to the Coalition for the Homeless, there are numerous causes of homelessness, but the largest single factor is a lack of affordable housing. As such, the solution will focus on providing more affordable housing in New York City.
Baker, Homelessness in New York City
Baker (2017) reviews Thomas Main’s 2016 Homelessness in New York City: Policymaking from Koch to de Blasio. Baker identifies three major themes in homeless policies in New York City from the Ed Koch era of the 1980s through the current leadership of Bill de Blasio: entitlement, paternalism, and post-paternalism. The era of entitlement is associated with the Koch administration, when policies were created based on the idea that housing was a basic right. Under David Dinkins, entitlement gave way to paternalism, as access to housing was made contingent on participating in drug treatment or work programs. The post-paternal era is associated with Michael Bloomberg, who enacted a housing first program aimed at getting homeless people out of the shelter system and into permanent housing.
One of the most interesting points that Baker discusses, and one that is relevant to my essay, is Main’s perversity thesis, which is essentially a variation on the concept of moral hazard, which is rooted in behaviorism. In a nutshell, the perversity thesis is based on the fear that providing homeless people, particularly those with long-term substance abuse problems, with permanent housing encourages people to become homeless just to take advantage of the program. Even if the program is effective, critics argue, it just seems unfair that it appears to reward bad behavior.
Burton, String calls affordable housing overhaul vital for New York City
Burton (2020) outlines New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer’s proposal to provide additional affordable housing. Stringer, who previously served as Manhattan Borough President, is generally considered to be a leading candidate mayoral candidate for 2021, when Bill de Blasio’ ...

Social Problems: Homelessness

Homelessness
Homelessness arises from a situation where an individual lacks a permanent dwelling as a shelter such as a rented apartment or a purchased house. Homeless persons often live in streets and alleys in towns and cities. Such a situation subjects them unsafe and unhygienic living conditions. Undoubtedly, homelessness is a social problem. Therefore, this paper will outline its implications and how it can be addressed.
Description of the Social Problem
According to Lancione (2013), homelessness is a situation where an individual or a family lacks a regular or preferably fixed nighttime residence. Therefore, homeless persons opt for living in a public or private location which was not designed for human beings to sleep. In his research article, Lancione (2013) frames homelessness as a problem by stating that it is associated with the poor, drunks, addicts, the dispossessed, the mentally ill and rubbish collectors. The association of a person’s life with any of the mentioned terms implies that the individual is undergoing a degrading quality of life and therefore needs interventions to prevent further implications which may result in sickness or death.
Scope and Consequences of the Problem
Galeo (2016) shares methodologically sound conclusions to the consequences of the problem by stating the individual implications of homelessness which include having a higher rate of premature mortality due to causes such as unintentional overdose, extreme weather conditions, and injuries. For instance, in 2016, 239 homeless people died in New York City alone (Cheney, 2017). They also experience reduced quality of life brought about by chronic pain, poor sleeping conditions, insecurity and unsanitary conditions. Social implications include fear and uncertainty by members of the society since homeless persons are associated with drugs, mental illness, and petty theft. Another social problem is the decline in value and serenity of a location where homeless persons have set up their residence. Such areas often become unattractive due to the accumulation of filth thus reducing their appeal.
Society’s Responses to the problem
Sanchez (2010) explains that society, particularly faith-based organizations have responded to homelessness using funding schemes from donors and well-wishers which were used to facilitate the purchase and construction of homes. The US Government formed the US Interagency Council on Homelessness which was provided with funding meant to facilitate programs for the homeless such as enlisting them in Medicaid and Social Security Disability Insurance. Unfortunately, the interventions are not sufficient since homelessness is still a persistent issue despite the solutions being commissioned in the 1980s (Sanchez, 2010).

QUESTION 1
David Harvey’s text provides an analysis of how the need to expand markets under capitalism impacts urban development, often favoring the interests of investors over the urban public. He describes the many instances in modern history where government regimes and private interests have identified urban expansion and “revitalization” programs as a means of reinvesting surplus product to create surplus value (i.e. profits). For this question, explain:
1.
Why does Harvey believes the process of finding new markets to reinvest surplus value is relevant to a discussion on urban development? In your answer, explain what surplus value is and why capitalists need to constantly find new markets to maintain profits.
2.
Explain how this process was manifested historically by relaying one of the examples in Harvey’s text (i.e. Haussmann’s reconstruction of Paris under Louis Napoleon, postwar suburban development in the U.S, etc.)
QUESTION 2
Jane Jacobs’ book The Death and Life of Great American Cities was an attack on city planning. It came at a time when cities across the country were feeling the negative impact of Title I, Title 2, and Title 10 legislation by the federal government, and the private real estate development industry’s capitalization on that legislation. This included increased suburbanization, in which predominantly white middle income families were provided with incentives and support to purchase homes outside the city. This also meant they took their tax dollars with them—and often jobs relocated to the suburbs as well. As a result, center cities began to deteriorate, and those that remained found it difficult to secure good paying jobs. As the housing stock declined, those with profit interests in the city advocated widespread “slum clearance,” replacing older communities with new public and private housing towers. This led to a lot of displacement, upsetting tight knit communities and leaving many low income and ethnic and racial minorities in insecure housing situations—and sometimes even homeless.
1.
How might terms like “urban renewal” or “urban revitalization” be used politically to enact slum clearance or other programs that, in Jane Jacobs’ observation, eradicate great neighborhoods?

The Effects of Neighborhood Change on New York City Housing Authority ResidentsNYCOpportunity
In May 2015, CEO and Abt Associates released a report, examining how the socioeconomic makeup of neighborhoods surrounding New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments, and recent changes in that makeup, affect public housing residents’ quality of life.
The economic landscape surrounding many NYCHA developments – often first built in low-income neighborhoods - has changed over time. Researchers separated neighborhoods surrounding NYCHA developments into three classifications of persistently low, increasing, or persistently high income when compared to the NYC median over three decades.
Researchers found statistically significant differences in earnings for NYCHA residents living in different neighborhood types, unlikely to have been affected by resident selection bias. Annual household earnings average $4,500 higher for public housing residents in high-income neighborhoods as compared to persistently low-income neighborhoods. Earnings are $3,000 higher for those in increasing income neighborhoods.
The study engaged NYCHA residents as research partners in three in-depth case studies in Morris Heights, Long Island City, and Chelsea. The qualitative results complement the quantitative findings by describing residents’ personal experiences of neighborhood change, highlighting some of the ways this observed difference in incomes may be offset by higher costs for NYCHA residents in high income neighborhoods. In all three types of neighborhoods, residents expressed a need for more enrichment, skill-building, and employment opportunities, of the sort offered by CEO and NYC Young Men’s Initiative (YMI) programs. The report was conducted in partnership with the NYU Furman Center, BronxWorks, Hudson Guild, and Urban Upbound, and the New York City Housing Authority.

Re:Module 3 DQ 2
The major types of program evaluation are summative and formative. The summative evaluations bring support to the decision to terminate or continue a program (Nieveen, & Folmer, 2013). The formative evaluations look at the areas that require improvement (Nieveen, & Folmer, 2013). The decision on which be better is effected by the reasoning for the evaluation. However, it can be prudent to perform both a formative and summative evaluation. The formative evaluation brings insight into what needs improvement (Nieveen, & Folmer, 2013). The summative evaluation identifies of the changes that need to occur which ones are feasible. Weighing the feasibility of the changes according to resources of personal, finances, and time provides support for continuing or discontinuing a program.

DEFINITIONS
According to the Stewart B. McKinney Act, 42 U.S.C. § 11301, et seq. (1994), a person is considered
homeless who "lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate night-time residence; and... has a primary night time
residency that is: (A) a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary
living accommodations... (B) An institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended
to be institutionalized, or (C) a public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, a regular
sleeping accommodation for human beings." The term “homeless individual” does not include any
individual imprisoned or otherwise detained pursuant to an Act of Congress or a state law." 42 U.S.C. §
11302(c)
The education subtitle of the McKinney-Vento Act includes a more comprehensive definition of
homelessness. This statute states that the term ‘homeless child and youth’ (A) means individuals who lack

Center for Immigration Studies Report Exaggerates Immigrant Welfare Use
By Alex Nowrasteh
Share
The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a new report this morning on immigrant welfare use. CIS found that immigrants use far more welfare than natives do. CIS’ methodology, parts of which are suspect, is what produced this result – as we’ve pointed out to CIS multipletimes. They also omitted a lot of information that would make for a better comparison between immigrants and natives. Simply put, the CIS study does not compare apples to apples but rather apples to elephants.
The first issue is that CIS counts the welfare use of households, which includes many native-born American citizens, rather than individuals. There might be some good reasons to do this but the immigrant-headed household variable CIS uses is ambiguous, poorly defined, and less used in modern research for those reasons. To CIS’ credit they try to separate out households with children but didn’t separate out American-born spouses. There is debate largely over whether to count the American born children of immigrants as a welfare cost of immigration. If we should count them, shouldn’t we also count the welfare use of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren of immigrants? Such a way of counting would obviously produce a negative result but it would also not be informative.
Another problem with counting households rather than individuals is that immigrants and natives have different sized households. According to the American Community Survey, immigrant households have on average 3.37 people in them compared to 2.5 people in native-born households. All else remaining equal, we should expect higher welfare use in immigrant households just because they’re larger. CIS should have corrected for household size by focusing on individual welfare use – which is included in the SIPP.
The second issue with the CIS report is that it does not correct for income. Since means-tested welfare programs are designed for those with lower incomes, it makes sense to only compare use rates among those with lower incomes. It is not enlightening to statistically compare the welfare use rates of rich immigrants and Americans like Elon Musk or Bill Gates to poorer immigrants and Americans as the CIS report does.
The interesting question is not whether poor people use more welfare than rich people but whether poor immigrants are more likely to use more welfare than poor natives. Our research found that poor immigrants are less likely to use welfare than poor natives. The CIS report isn’t very useful because it doesn’t correct for this.
The third issue with the CIS report is that they omitted the cash value of welfare benefits consumed by immigrant and native households. CIS only analyzed the use rates for each welfare program but they do not tell you how much welfare was actually consumed. For instance, the cash value for many welfare benefits are determined by the number ...

Case Study - "Hubble Trouble":
Some years ago work began on the development of the Hubble Space Telescope....which was placed into low earth orbit in 1990.
The capability provided by the Hubble Space Telescope is a historic prescedent for mankind.....vis a vis the advanced imaging of the cosmos.....from a vantage point in space....free from image distortion caused by the earth's atmosphere.
Considerable care and planning was associated with the development of this complex space based instrument.
Unfortunately, the Hubble Space Telescope experienced several delays and cost over-runs.
The deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope was further delayed due to the un-related loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger.
Once the Hubble Space Telescope was ultimately deployed it was discovered that the telescope suffered from a significant optics error in the development of it's primary reflecting mirror.
Fortunately, a team was able to develop a solution to address this error....at considerable additional expense....and opportunity loss (vis a vis...the re-allocation of space shuttle missions to implement the solution....).
Questions:
What went wrong in the development of the Hubble Space Telescope ?
What was the impact / consequences associated with this error ?
What actions did the Hubble Space Telescope development team employ to preclude the problem from happening ?
Why weren't the actions that the team employed sufficient to prevent this embarassing problem from occuring ?
What Systems Engineering processes / actions should the James Webb Space Telescope development team consider employing to preclude such a problem from occuring in this successor space telescope ?

A health psychologist in a northern climate wants to evaluate the claim that UV lamps help lower depressive symptoms in middle-aged women. She recruits volunteers who meet the criteria for clinical depression and assigns them to two groups: one group receives a standard treatment for depression and undergoes a half hour of UV lamp therapy each day; the other group receives the same standard treatment for depression but without UV lamp therapy. At the end of two months, she administers a depression inventory where lower scores indicate fewer depressive symptoms (lower levels of depression). Assume all other variables are controlled for in the study. Evaluate the claim that depression treatment plus the UV lamp results in
lower
depression scores than depression treatment alone. (16 pts)

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

An Annotated Bibliography on Solving the Problem of
Homelessness in New York City
How is it that in the greatest city on Earth so many people do
not have a place to call home? An average of 60,000 people,
about two thirds of them families and children, are sleeping
each night in the city’s homeless shelters in the current fiscal
year (New York City Department of Homeless Services, 2020).
This statistic does not even take into account the many
thousands of unsheltered homeless in New York City. The
homeless come from all parts of the city and include people of
all races, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Not
surprisingly, however, homelessness tends to impact racial
minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people with
substance addictions, and people battling mental illness.
According to the Coalition for the Homeless, there are
numerous causes of homelessness, but the largest single factor
is a lack of affordable housing. As such, the solution will focus
on providing more affordable housing in New York City.
Baker, Homelessness in New York City
Baker (2017) reviews Thomas Main’s 2016 Homelessness in
New York City: Policymaking from Koch to de Blasio. Baker
identifies three major themes in homeless policies in New York
City from the Ed Koch era of the 1980s through the current
leadership of Bill de Blasio: entitlement, paternalism, and post-
paternalism. The era of entitlement is associated with the Koch
administration, when policies were created based on the idea
2. that housing was a basic right. Under David Dinkins,
entitlement gave way to paternalism, as access to housing was
made contingent on participating in drug treatment or work
programs. The post-paternal era is associated with Michael
Bloomberg, who enacted a housing first program aimed at
getting homeless people out of the shelter system and into
permanent housing.
One of the most interesting points that Baker discusses,
and one that is relevant to my essay, is Main’s perversity thesis,
which is essentially a variation on the concept of moral hazard,
which is rooted in behaviorism. In a nutshell, the perversity
thesis is based on the fear that providing homeless people,
particularly those with long-term substance abuse problems,
with permanent housing encourages people to become homeless
just to take advantage of the program. Even if the program is
effective, critics argue, it just seems unfair that it appears to
reward bad behavior.
Burton, String calls affordable housing overhaul vital for New
York City
Burton (2020) outlines New York City Comptroller Scott
Stringer’s proposal to provide additional affordable housing.
Stringer, who previously served as Manhattan Borough
President, is generally considered to be a leading candidate
mayoral candidate for 2021, when Bill de Blasio’s term ends.
According to Burton, Stringer’s housing proposal consists of
two main features: a universal requirement of 25% affordable
housing units on all new developments and elimination of the
421-a tax subsidy, which Stringer believes is wasteful and
counterproductive.
Because my main solution to the homelessness problem is
the creation of more affordable housing, this article is highly
relevant to my essay. According to the article, de Blasio and
Stringer are at odds over the 421-a tax subsidy. Mayor de Blasio
believes 421-a encourages development in underdeveloped
areas, whereas Stringer cites a study showing that developers
have been substantially overpaid by the program. I will need to
3. look into this issue more closely to determine who is right, but
the universal 25% affordable housing requirement is worthy of
serious consideration.
Coalition for the Homeless, Why are so many people homeless?
According to the Coalition for the Homeless, homelessness
has persisted in New York City primarily due to the failures of
state and local leaders. The Coalition is highly critical of Mayor
Bill de Blasio as well as Governor Andrew Cuomo. Mayor de
Blasio is faulted for policies that have led to an increase in the
number of homeless people living in city shelters, and Governor
Cuomo is criticized for failing to work together with the mayor,
instead engaging in political one-upmanship.
This article shows that although both Mayor de Blasio and
Governor Cuomo claim to care about the homeless and want to
provide solutions, their actions do not match their rhetoric.
New Yorkers must demand that their elected leaders take
meaningful action. Part of my call to action is to ask readers to
get involved by contacting their local leaders, and this article
supports the idea that politicians need to do more.
New York City Department of Homeless Services, stats and
reports
The New York City Department of Homeless Services stats
and reports page features data dashboard charts from 2012–
2020. The charts provide information on the average total
number of homeless people sleeping city shelters, broken down
by race, age, families, children, and single adults. The charts
show a growth in the number of homeless people living in
shelters over the years, though it does not specifically mention
if this is due to a growth in the total number of homeless
people, an increase in the capacity of homeless shelters, or both.
These reports are highly relevant to my essay, in that they
establish the problem of homelessness in New York City.
Furthermore, they show that the problem is getting worse and
will most likely continue to do so unless something is done
about it.
4. Sweeney, The poor among us
Sweeney (2015) provides an in-depth review of The poor
among us: A history of family poverty and homelessness in New
York City, written by Ralph da Costa Nunez and Ethan G.
Sribnick in 2013. The book traces the history of poverty and
homelessness in New York City from colonial times through the
Great Recession of 2008. Sweeney notes that strategies of
dealing with homelessness are rooted in social theories. For
example, Sweeney mentions that in the late 1800s it was
common for children in New York City to be removed from
their homeless parents based on the assumption that
homelessness was essentially a moral failing. More recently,
welfare reform laws took aim at the dependency supposedly
created by programs aimed at helping the homeless.
Although the article was written in 2015, in reference to a
book published in 2013, the source is still relevant and useful
given that its primary intent is to provide a historical overview
of the problem of homelessness in New York City. The most
useful point that Sweeney makes is that homeless policies are
often based on misguided notions of who the homeless are and
why they are homeless in the first place. It is important to deal
with these misconceptions.
