Oregon has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the US, with 41% of its homeless population comprised of families. Common causes of homelessness include poverty, lack of affordable housing, substance abuse, mental illness, unemployment among veterans and domestic violence victims. The government is increasing funding for agencies like HUD to provide support, while community involvement through volunteering and donations also helps address the issue.

Over 50% of US students expect to study abroad but less than 10% actually do. In 2012, 289,000 US students studied abroad, only 1.5% of the 20 million US students. Minority student participation in study abroad has increased but still only represents 16% of US study abroad students. While the UK remained the top destination in 2013, there was a significant increase in students studying in places like China, Brazil and other areas of Asia over the past 15 years. The document calls for efforts to focus on expanding study abroad opportunities to the 90% of US students who have not yet participated.

Housing Opportunity in Oregon: A look at needs
Oregon’s economy is both booming and struggling, and the pressure is on for housing markets across the state. The problem shows up as a lack of housing stock, high rents, unaffordable homeownership, sub-standard housing quality. People with low incomes, people experiencing a disability, and especially people of color experience the greatest barriers to housing opportunity. Hear what the data says about growing wealth disparity and housing opportunity gaps, and add your voice to this discussion about what housing needs are in your community. How does data drive policy change and greater inclusion?

the face of homelessness
This document summarizes statistics on homelessness in America and Ohio. It finds that while national homelessness decreased 1% from 2009 to 2011, Ohio saw a 6% increase. Factors contributing to homelessness include unemployment, poverty, lack of affordable housing, mental illness, substance abuse, and lack of access to healthcare. The document also provides information on local organizations in Ohio that help the homeless and discusses initiatives like Project Connect that provide services to those in need.
Unauthorized Immigrants Today: A demographic profile
The document profiles the demographics of unauthorized immigrants in the United States. It finds that over half of unauthorized immigrants have lived in the US for over a decade. Nearly half have families with children who are US citizens. While often perceived as recent border-crossers, most unauthorized immigrants have been integrated into US society for years through work, families, homeownership, and community involvement. The largest populations are in California, Texas, Florida, and New York, with over half from Mexico, though many also come from Central America and Asia.

Policy Analysis : Puerto Rico Family Assistance Act
Paul-Jesús Fericelli analyzes Puerto Rico's Act for the Improvement of Family Assistance and Support of the Elderly (Act No. 193 of 2002) to address the growing aging population and costs of public assistance. The act promotes family support of older adults by providing assistance to relatives caring for them. It aims to reduce costs while upholding values of fairness, family support, community, and accountability. As life expectancies rise and public assistance is at risk, policies must support older adults through families and communities.

The document discusses the changing racial and ethnic composition of the United States population. It notes that minorities currently comprise over 30% of the population and will become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics increasing from 16% to over 30% of the population. The country is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. It also briefly discusses the historical backgrounds and current demographic characteristics of the major racial groups in America: Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans.
Behind Homelessness
There are several key factors that can contribute to homelessness:
1) High housing costs and a lack of affordable housing mean that many low-income households spend over half of their income on rent.
2) Unemployment and underemployment make it difficult for people to pay rent if they lose their job or have reduced hours.
3) Those struggling with substance abuse issues, mental illness, or domestic violence are also more vulnerable to becoming homeless. About a third of homeless adults have a substance abuse problem and over 10% are domestic violence victims.
9/9 FRI 9:30 | Planning & the LGBT Community in Florida 1
Marisa Salas
In recent years, Richard Florida (Creative Cities) has highlighted the link between tolerance and a city’s ability to attract and retain the highly skilled and creative workforce that is required for high
technology industries to thrive. Florida finds that the presence of a visible LGBT population is an excellent indicator of tolerance. Yet most planners and planning documents look the other way
when it comes to acknowledging the presence of sexual and gender minorities within their cities. This session explores some of the critical issues surrounding planning for and with the LGBT community in the 21st century.

This document discusses homelessness through statistics, alternative arguments, and proposed solutions. It provides statistics showing that the average homeless person is 40 years old, many become homeless after job or housing loss, and about one-third have substance abuse issues. It acknowledges arguments that homeless people are lazy or on drugs, but says homelessness results from a lack of living-wage jobs, affordable housing, and healthcare. Proposed solutions include donating to shelters, volunteering, and government programs to ensure employment, housing, and healthcare for all.
Causes of popular revolt in the united states
This article aims to analyze the causes of the popular uprising currently occurring in the United States that resulted from the murder of George Floyd, a black American handcuffed by a white policeman in Minneapolis, who knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes until he was dead. This event served as a starting point for a rallying cry in more than 100 American cities against, not only racism, but also against the social ills suffered by the great majority of the American population, especially by the black population, which were aggravated for the spread of the new Coronavirus that contributed to driving the North American economy into recession and to the dizzying rise of unemployment in the United States.
FINAL PAPER PRESENTATION
This case study assessed Montana's disproportionately high Native American homeless population. Research found that Native Americans represent nearly 30% of Montana's homeless population, compared to just 2.5% nationally. Data from point-in-time homeless surveys in Montana and a study on a Native American community that gained income from a new casino found that economic development programs that provide jobs and basic income can significantly reduce rates of substance abuse, mental health issues, and homelessness among Native Americans. However, plans by the Mayor's Committee to address homelessness in Montana's largest city did not include specific recommendations for the Native American subpopulation.
Disabilities in ethiopia
There is a perception in Ethiopian societies that disabilities are a result of punishment by spiritual figures, and families with disabled children are often labeled as such. An estimated 15 million Ethiopians, or 17.6% of the population, have a disability, and 95% of those live in poverty. Children with disabilities in Africa encounter significant economic, political, and social barriers that hinder their development and wellbeing, as they often lack basic needs and are excluded from policy agendas. While 19% of Americans have a disability, the employment rate for those with disabilities is much lower in Ethiopia than in the United States, and disabilities are viewed differently between the two countries.
Research Paper
The document discusses the issue of homelessness in the United States. It notes that the number of homeless people continues to rise each year for various reasons, including poverty and economic recession. The poverty level remains high as the economy struggles, foreclosures increase, and finding jobs becomes more difficult. Several nonprofit organizations work to address homelessness through research, prevention programs, and fundraising to help the homeless population.

Alston, Philip [2017] Statement on Visit to the USA, UN Special Rapporteur on...
The UN Special Rapporteur visited the US to examine extreme poverty and its impact on human rights. Through meetings across multiple states, they observed many living in deep poverty without access to basic needs. While some local initiatives aim to help, US policies are exacerbating inequality and poverty rates remain high compared to other wealthy nations. The Special Rapporteur concludes that extreme poverty persists in the US due to a lack of political will to address its root causes, including an undermining of democracy, illusory emphasis on employment, and shortcomings in basic social protections for vulnerable groups like indigenous peoples.

Averting Another Lost
Decade: Moving Hispanic
Families From Outlier
to Mainstream Family
Research
Omar S. López1
Abstract
This study endorses an urgent call-to-action for researchers to move Hispanic
families from outlier to mainstream family research. The top-15 ranked U.S.
journals in the field of family studies published more than 8,000 articles
in the prior decade—the same time period when Hispanics were also the
largest, most rapidly growing ethnic group in the United States. This study
contributes to the field of family studies by using quantitative and qualitative
methods to analyze these articles per journal for empirical evidence that
indicates the importance of Hispanic families within this literature. Further
empirical evidence comes from extending the analysis to 2011. The evidence
presented suggests insufficiency of Hispanic family research with regard to
quantity, quality, relevance, and recognized contributions to the field of
family studies. The discourse includes examples and recommendations for
averting another lost decade of opportunities for research relevant to the
health and welfare of a growing U.S. Hispanic population.

Embracing the 2010 census
The document summarizes key information about the upcoming 2010 United States Census. It explains that the census is a constitutionally mandated count of every resident in the US that occurs every 10 years, provides funding for communities based on population, and determines congressional representation. It outlines who will be counted, when census forms will be distributed and returned in March-April 2010, and ways for individuals and communities to help promote participation in the census.
Love and sex
Here are 3 potential responses to those questions:
1. Educating teens about safe sex practices and making contraceptives widely available could help lower teen pregnancy rates. Comprehensive sex education programs have been shown to delay sexual activity and increase contraceptive use among teens.
2. Whether I would want to know someone's HIV status is a personal decision. Most people living with HIV today can live long and healthy lives with proper treatment. The medical community advocates treating all people, regardless of HIV status, with dignity, respect and compassion.
3. Both teen pregnancy and HIV transmission are complex issues with social, economic, cultural and personal factors. While education can help, there are no simple or single solutions. An open dialogue

Specifically, it is difficult to determine what details are most important to include while also keeping the summary brief. The goal is to distill down complex topics and ideas into a high-level overview that gives readers a sense of the overall scope and focus of the original work without including unnecessary details.

Embracing the 2010 census
The document summarizes key information about the upcoming 2010 United States Census. It explains that the census is a constitutionally mandated count of every resident in the US that occurs every 10 years, provides funding for communities based on population, and determines congressional representation. It outlines who will be counted, when census forms will be distributed and returned in March-April 2010, and ways for individuals and communities to help promote participation in the census.
Love and sex
Here are 3 potential responses to those questions:
1. Educating teens about safe sex practices and making contraceptives widely available could help lower teen pregnancy rates. Comprehensive sex education programs have been shown to delay sexual activity and increase contraceptive use among teens.
2. Whether I would want to know someone's HIV status is a personal decision. Most people living with HIV today can live long and healthy lives with proper treatment. The medical community advocates treating all people, regardless of HIV status, with dignity, respect and compassion.
3. Both teen pregnancy and HIV transmission are complex issues with social, economic, cultural and personal factors. While education can help, there are no simple or single solutions. An open dialogue

Measure 11 bad policy
Measure 11 was created to protect Oregonians but sometimes does the opposite by punishing the innocent through false accusations alone. It makes it difficult to disprove one person's word against another's. Many falsely accused feel coerced to accept plea bargains for lesser prison time rather than risk longer sentences if acquitted. The author argues Measure 11 should be reformed to eliminate mandatory prison for the innocent, allow judges more discretion in sentencing, and ensure punishment fits the crime. False accusations can unjustly destroy lives both emotionally and financially.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
