[GradNation Webinar] Achieving a 90 percent Graduation Rate: Meeting the Need...America's Promise Alliance
This month's GradNation webinar discussed the impacts of poverty and adversity on academic achievement and to two research-based strategies for supporting students. Participants learned about the research base that sheds light on how poverty, adversity, and outside-of-school factors impact students’ academic success. Guest speakers included Turnaround for Children and City Connects, two organizations that are successfully addressing adolescent needs outside of the classroom. Presenters shared lessons learned and resources from their models and offered insights into how the models could be replicated.
As part of Together for Healthy and Successful Schools, America’s Promise will extend a new funding opportunity to communities seeking to create healthier school environments for all children. Recognizing that school-centered health intersects with many areas outside of education—housing, employment, transportation, and food access— efforts should serve as a hub for cross-sector collaboration, youth and community engagement, and broader policy and systemic change.
Three to five existing districts and/or community-level organizations will be selected to receive up to $150,000 each per year for two years (for a total of up to $300,000) to support collaborative efforts that display alignment with this vision and a proven ability to accelerate positive change for young people in schools and their communities.

5.3 Better Outcomes for All: Working with Mainstream Services Agencies to End Homelessness
Speaker: John Egan
Ending homelessness requires the support of agencies and resources outside of the homeless assistance system like the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and child welfare. This workshop will identify some of these key agencies and offer ideas on how they can work with homeless assistance providers to improve outcomes for youth, families, homeless providers, and themselves. An additional focal point will be how to ensure community resources are allocated fairly based on need.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Washington, DC July 22-24, 2013
3. Alameda County, CA
Population 1.5 million
14 cities, largest Oakland, Berkeley and Fremont
821 sq miles
Urban, suburban, and rural
High rental costs
Aprox. 4k homeless
73% single 27% families
4. Building Futures with
Women and Children
To build communities with women and children
where they are safely and supportively housed, free
from homelessness and domestic violence.
5. BFWC Services
2 emergency homeless shelters for women and children
(55 beds)
Domestic violence shelter (20 beds)
52 units of transitional and permanent housing for
formally homeless survivors of domestic violence with
disabilities
Full range of community domestic violence services
including support groups
Housing Resource Center that provides homeless
prevention and rapid rehousing services (including
Supportive Services for Veterans Families program and
Family Reunification Housing program)
6. Program Description: What
Rapid rehousing and homeless prevention program
Helps homeless parents obtain housing so child can be
returned to their custody
Helps parents not suitably housed relocate to safe,
stable housing
Helps families “in care” and at risk of homelessness
maintain permanent housing
Provides housing search assistance, case management
and rental subsidies
7. Program Description: $$
Funded by Title IV Foster Care Waiver Funds
Alameda County one of two in California using a federal
foster care waiver that block grants funds and allows for
innovative strategies to reduce costs and out of home
placements
Will operate from August 2012
thru June 2014 when waiver
expires.
Total funding = $850,000
8. How Did We Make this Happen?
Used data
Demonstrated overlap of foster care and shelter
families
Demonstrated cost effectiveness of rapid rehousing
“Our expertise can solve your problem”
Made the case that stable housing supports successful
family reunification and we know housing
Focus on housing services and some income supports,
not the clinical or parenting needs of the families
9. How Did We Make this Happen?
Negotiated by EveryOne Home, Alameda County’s
CoC, rather than single provider
Built on existing relationships and success of HPRP
Program pilots are much easier to say yes to
10. Program Description: Who
For families in “Reunification” or “Maintenance” with
Child Welfare
Reunification = children currently in foster care and
parent(s) that Child Welfare is working with to reunite
with kids. Families have a housing need that must be
addressed as part of the reunification process.
Maintenance = children have been reunified with
parent(s) but the family faces a housing crisis.
Families who have lost housing due to children being
taken from home.
11. Program Description: Partners
Abode Services and Building Futures: family and
rehousing providers provide the direct services
EveryOne Home: takes referrals, developed forms
and procedures, manages reports
Alameda County Housing and Community
Development: administers sub-contracts
Alameda County Social Services Agency Child
Welfare: funder and source of referrals
12. Program Description: What
Housing Assistance Includes:
Housing Services: housing stabalization
plan, budgeting, connections to employment and
benifits, credit repair, applications to wait lists…
Housing location: search, applications, negotiating
with landlords, etc.
Financial assistance:
One time costs such as, deposit and move-in costs, utility arrears
and deposits, application fees, motels
Rental subsidies for 3 months at a time, capped
Family pays up to 50% of income. Rent capped at $1,200 month
13. What We Are Learning?
Income makes a difference
19% of enrolled families have income over $1,000/month as reported at
time of referral
36% have moved to PH so far compared to 13% of families with incomes
below $1,000/month
The sample size is small so inconclusive
A number of families are choosing site-based TH
Some families in Reunification may benefit from longer
subsidies and more services than rapid rehousing
typically provides.
A pilot is an excellent opportunity to advocate for
change!
14. What Are We Learning?
(as of 6/30/13)
Households referred to program = 88
Households enrolled = 78
HUD homeless individuals = 25%
Number of households into PH = 19
Number of households into TH = 4
