This document provides an overview of integrating substance abuse treatment and vocational services. It discusses the need for vocational services in treatment, different types of vocational programming and resources, clinical issues related to integrating vocational services, integrating onsite vocational services, effective referrals and collaborations, funding and policy issues, legal issues, and working with ex-offenders. The goal is to show how employment can play a key role in recovery from substance use disorders.
This document discusses digital inclusion projects for public housing developments. It outlines key assumptions around digital access as a utility and its benefits. Pilot implementations included the LeClaire Neighborhood Network providing computer access and training, and the Lowden Homes wireless network for civic engagement and job searches. The RightMovesNet extranet helped residents find alternative housing. Benefits included increased access to technology, services, civic participation, and safety. Projects increased resources and aligned with strategic plans, while providing access kiosks, orientation to e-government, and computer training.
The field of prevention is undergoing significant changes due to factors like new technologies, political climates, and decreased funding. Access to the field is expanding as universities offer new prevention-focused programs. There is increased collaboration between prevention specialists and other professionals, but also potential duplication of efforts. The language of prevention is also changing as specialists are asked to quantify outcomes and participate more in behavioral research. The scope of issues addressed by prevention is expanding beyond substances to include other social problems. Through it all, prevention specialists must continue sharing their knowledge and advocating for families and communities.
The Chicago Housing Authority was awarded a $897,993 grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce to create a system allowing seamless information exchange across organizations to help public housing residents during relocation. The project, TheRightMovesNet, developed an online geographic information system with 3D tours of housing and information on topics like education and transportation. It equipped 10 public housing sites with public access to help residents make informed choices. The system also featured an electronic bulletin board for communication. Additional funding from the MacArthur Foundation was leveraged for this project and future collaborations.
The document describes the Chicago Housing Authority's Project Management Office (PMO), which centralizes and coordinates the management of CHA projects. The PMO uses a uniform, industry-approved approach and trained Project Executives to ensure the successful execution and completion of projects. It also discusses how the PMO assists with program and portfolio management by examining projects for strategic alignment and benefits to CHA.
