Elements of low income housing advocacy
•
0 likes•173 views
Initial survey results show that low-income housing is a significant issue in the area, with 50% of households spending over half their income on housing, and over 40% living in overcrowded conditions. Residents complain about poor maintenance, high costs, and dirty living conditions. To advocate for these residents, community meetings and shuttles will engage more of the community and bring them to government meetings. Letter campaigns and paper ballots will give residents a voice to influence public officials and potentially rewrite housing rules to enable more affordable and dense housing development.

Urbanisation in india (Sociology)
Urbanisation in India refers to the increasing concentration of population in cities and towns. It is driven by industrialization and modernization of agriculture which provide work, as well as improvements to transportation, communication, education, and other services that attract rural migrants. The effects of urbanisation include a decline in traditional social controls as people focus more on themselves, increased incidents of crime, broken family systems, and the rise of slums in large towns.
Studio Visivel
While studying at the University of Minnesota – Carlson School of Management, the primary focus was to develop MVP’s (minimum viable products) for possible and real-world business entities. Studio Visível was a concept predicated on the idea of local artisans connecting with local enthusiasts: the success and impressions the artists in our community leave. Our mission on this project was to create an atmosphere of artistic and interactive, social sophistication while increasing community awareness and support to local artisans. In short, we wanted to build an entire community arts festival under one roof.
Rural innovation in the US

Gender, agriculture, and assets conceptual framework
This document presents a conceptual framework for analyzing the gendered impacts of agricultural projects and policies. It shows how context, assets, livelihood strategies, shocks, incomes, consumption, savings, and well-being are all gendered and can be analyzed separately for women and men. It then applies this framework to analyze the impacts of a homestead vegetable production project in Bangladesh, finding some improvements in women's incomes, nutrition, social networks, and empowerment but also increases in women's workloads.
Migration And Push Pull Factors
- The document discusses migration push and pull factors, with push factors being reasons people leave an area like lack of services or poverty, and pull factors being reasons people move to a new area like higher employment or better services.
- It also addresses population growth issues in LEDCs, noting high birth rates balanced by high death rates in Stage 2 of the demographic transition model. Urbanization is increasing in LEDCs due to migration, high birth rates, and declining death rates.

Rents, affordability and poverty
Rising housing costs are a major factor influencing poverty in the UK. Research has shown that high rents reduce the incentive for those in poverty to seek work. Social housing is highly targeted at low-income households and is the most effective aspect of the welfare state in reducing poverty, as it provides affordable housing. However, many low-income working households still struggle with housing costs, relying on in-work housing benefits to afford their rent.

Philanthropy and Community Engagement
Nikki Rineer, President of Holleran, gave a presentation on June 11, 2014 about promoting philanthropy through community engagement. She discussed the differences between for-profit companies like Coke and not-for-profit development organizations. For-profit companies collect real-time data and move quickly, while development organizations often evaluate projects after they are finished. Both tap local talent for volunteers, but development organizations' volunteers may have fuller schedules. The presentation also covered defining and profiling the external community through statistics, interviews with area experts, and identifying needs and opportunities for strategic partnerships that could empower and strengthen the community.

Economics of slums in developing countries
description of the economics in the developing countries, either why it's exist and why it remains and why does it always contradict with the government strategies in the upgrading with the slums area and it economic in order to make it apart of the community's economic.
Urban social problems (Sociology)
Urban social problems include inadequate housing, pollution, and overcrowding. Shortages in housing have led to the formation of slums - areas of substandard housing lacking basic facilities where poverty and disease are prevalent. Pollution results from industrial waste discharged into the air, water, and environment. Transportation and access to resources like water have also been challenging in cities due to large populations. Other issues include a decline in religious values, weakening family structures, rising crime, and a loss of social controls.

Describe basic elements of rural-urban migration.
Rural-urban migration refers to the movement of people from rural agricultural communities to larger urban non-agricultural communities. There are two main types of migration: internal migration within a country, and external or international migration between countries. Rural-urban migration systems involve potential migrants in rural areas being encouraged by poor rural conditions to migrate, facing rural social controls, adjusting to life in urban areas through employment opportunities, and providing feedback to encourage or discourage further migration through information channels.

Bell_D_The impact of pokies on newly forming communities
This document provides an overview of a research project studying the impact of poker machines (pokies) on new and developing communities in Melbourne, Australia. Specifically, it will examine the effects of pokies on community wellbeing in Greenridge, a growth suburb of Whittlesea. Greenridge residents are seen as vulnerable due to housing stress, reliance on cars, and lack of community infrastructure and cohesion in the new development. The research will use pre- and post-surveys to measure changes in problem gambling, wellbeing, and community attitudes after pokies are introduced to a new pub located centrally in Greenridge. The goal is to study impacts at the community level rather than just focusing on individual problem gamblers

The United Workers Party is seeking clarification from the President of the Senate, Mr. Claudius Francis, regarding his comments about a donation of two infrared thermometers. Mr. Francis had suggested the donation was a personal gesture from him to the government and people of Saint Lucia. However, contrary media reports identified the true donor as Mr. Dennis Ishmael, an Atlanta-based Saint Lucian who has made previous donations to the less fortunate in Saint Lucia. The UWP is requesting Mr. Francis immediately clear up any confusion about the true donor to restore integrity and confidence.
Vibrant Communities #starterfor10k
This document discusses the re-focusing of public services in East Ayrshire, Scotland. Drivers for change include drops in public sector funding, demographic changes, increased demand, and national reforms. A new service called Vibrant Communities was created by combining over 100 employees from various departments. Vibrant Communities takes an asset-based approach, focusing on community-led action plans, volunteering, and connecting community assets. These plans have led to increased community involvement, new organizations, and communities taking a more proactive role in their development. Small community projects have had big impacts through activities like litter cleaning, crowdfunding, and youth programs.
Soft Market Presentation
This document summarizes a housing assessment report for Venango County, Pennsylvania. It analyzes housing market data using quantitative and qualitative sources. Key findings include:
- The county housing market is weak overall with declining population and aging housing stock. However, conditions vary between submarkets.
- Townships are generally stable while boroughs and cities face more issues like blight and abandonment.
- Recommendations focus on strategies for different submarkets, including removing blighted properties, assisting elderly homeowners, and increasing affordable housing options.
- The report concludes the underlying challenges are related to an aging population, low wages, and a surplus of older, lower-quality housing requiring upgrades that many residents cannot afford.
Affordable and Senior Housing
The document discusses affordable and senior housing. It defines affordable housing as housing costs not exceeding 30% of total household income. It then outlines barriers to affordable housing such as low household incomes, lack of equity, and high housing costs.

90 homes 90lives
Project 90/90 aims to end over 30 years of entrenched homelessness in Woolloomooloo, Sydney through a collaborative Housing First approach. Statistics show high numbers of rough sleepers in the area, with 25% of all primary/secondary homelessness located in Woolloomooloo. The project has housed 62 people through partnerships between government, community, corporate, and philanthropic groups. Key achievements include securing funding for housing 70 rough sleepers and analyzing costs that show it is more efficient to house the homeless than leave them on the streets. Ongoing work includes exploring private rental opportunities, new builds, and meetings with government to discuss solutions.
FfT for City Council

The document discusses building partnerships between government and community. It outlines two approaches: agency services which are top-down and focus on needs, and burgerkracht which empowers citizens and focuses on community strengths. Communities face crises like single-use zoning and increased mobility that reduce social connections. The government's role includes providing basic services while ensuring rights, but true partnerships require moving beyond top-down approaches and silos to empowering communities and supporting their priorities. Steps include funding community-driven projects, removing bureaucratic barriers, and building capacity through leadership training and networking forums. Success is measured not just by numbers but also by stronger, self-sufficient communities.
