Self directed approaches lessons from a uk providerJohn Burgher
This document summarizes the experiences and lessons learned by Dimensions, a UK social care provider, in transitioning from a traditional agency model to more personalized, self-directed services. Key points include:
- Dimensions supports over 3,500 individuals with learning disabilities and autism across the UK. They are shifting from large, facility-based services to individualized support based on personal budgets.
- This transition requires rethinking Dimensions' offerings, costs, staffing and role. It also necessitates cultural and operational changes to empower individuals and their circles of support in decision making.
- The experience highlighted challenges around staff engagement, accountability for individual budgets, and managing diverse service models, but demonstrated benefits for
The document discusses the challenges facing non-profit organizations in managing both paid staff and volunteers. It notes increasing demand for services, funding cuts, and a shortage of skilled workers in the sector. While volunteering is increasing, volunteers often feel undervalued and lack clear roles. Paid staff may see volunteers as a threat or burden. The document explores scenarios where tensions could arise and provides suggestions for developing a charter of relationships to establish principles for both employees and volunteers.
The document discusses asset building strategies to help low-income households build wealth. It defines asset building as long-term saving and investment to increase economic independence. Research shows that assets provide stability during hard times and encourage future orientation. While income measures getting by, assets measure getting ahead. Many low-income households want to save but lack opportunities. Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) match savings for goals like education, homes, or businesses. The Assets for Independence program also uses IDAs. However, the funding challenge is getting non-federal matching commitments. Employer-based IDAs could help more working poor individuals by providing savings incentives and financial education at work. Case studies show examples of employers doubling scholarships or assistance for home

2. Mission
Statement
Our mission is to provide safe and supportive
housing to youth while reintegrating them into
society by providing education for the necessary
skills needed to live as law-abiding citizens.

Hope Housing
3. Primary goal
- Reduce recidivism rates amongst
juveniles who have committed and
offense.
- Provide safe and supportive housing for
juveniles reentering society.
4. Factors Faced by Youth Reentering
Society
4
Hope Housing
• Securing Jobs
• Companies hesitant to hire someone with
a criminal background. If individuals do not
find work, they are more likely to
recidivate.
• Securing Housing
• Strict housing policies make finding
housing difficult or almost impossible. Most
end up homeless and the recidivating
• Access to Public Assistance
• Drug related offenses ban individuals from
receiving assistance. This often leaves
individuals not able to support themselves,
therefore they commit crimes in order to do so.
5. Contingency Theory - An organizational
theory that claims that there is no best way
to organize a corporation, to lead a
company, or to make decisions.
Work will be divided on an as needed bases.
Everyone that works for our organization will have
their own skills that will work for each particular job;
Therefore, rolls may change depending on the tasks
at hand.

Hope Housing

Design

Clinical Staff
Housing Manager
7. Education Progress
• All work that participants complete towards their GED will
need too be documented in order to track progression and
make sure individuals are completing their work on time.
Counseling and Mentoring Sessions
Housing Behaviors
• All activities that are completed with counselors and mentors
needs to be thoroughly documented. Any behaviors,
changes in behaviors, and concerns that are noticed by
counselors and mentors needs to be documented in the
participant's file.
• The housing managers will document any medications
given, meeting held within the house, and any conflicts or
accomplishments.
Information to
Collect
Job Searches
• Any applications that are completed need to be
documented. Any time a participant has an
interview they need to document it.
9. Recap
Reentry programs are a proven method to reduce
recidivism. Without the proper resources to secure jobs,
housing, and monetary and food assistance, youth are
more likely to recidivate. Our program will give these
youth the proper education and resources needed to
reenter society as law abiding citizens, while providing a
safe and secure home while making the transition.
