The document discusses how government bureaucracies that provide social services, such as food assistance programs, often have problems that are not well known and allowed to persist due to a lack of press coverage and awareness of the difficulties faced by those in need who must use these services. It proposes using technology and open source collaboration to make data about social services more accessible, make food inspection information more consumer friendly, and build more empathetic government services. Specific opportunities mentioned include redeploying existing civic apps, joining local civic tech groups, and applying for a fellowship to work on these types of issues.
Year-End Summary 2012
- The Vista's role was to increase nonprofit organizations registered as partners with Washington Connection, the City's online benefit portal. This was to help underserved communities access benefits.
- 40 organizations were originally contracted to use the portal, but many faced challenges with the technical issues and time it took to help clients apply. This led to reluctance in fully utilizing the portal.
- Over time, the Vista worked to address issues, expand partners, and help organizations see the portal's benefits. This included training, resources, and emphasizing its ability to holistically help those in need.

Disability Powerpoint
Individuals with disabilities have historically been treated as second class citizens in Canada. They were institutionalized and faced discrimination. Labels like "idiot" and "moron" were used to describe people with disabilities, influencing negative perceptions. While the Ontario Human Rights Code now prohibits disability discrimination, individuals with disabilities still face barriers to full inclusion and equality including higher rates of poverty, lack of support programs, and social stigma. Solutions include changing perceptions of disability, improving support systems, and promoting greater awareness and acceptance of individuals with disabilities.
Foster Care and Homelessness- final thesis
This document discusses the issue of foster care youth becoming homeless after aging out of the foster care system in New York City. Over 28,000 children are currently in foster care in NYC, many having come from abusive or neglectful homes. When these youth turn 21, they age out of the system and are at high risk of becoming homeless due to lack of housing, employment, education, and support services. Recent legislation and initiatives have aimed to better track outcomes for former foster youth and hold agencies accountable for ensuring their success after aging out.
Cowtown Narrative Analysis
The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) played a significant role in the racial segregation of neighborhoods and unequal access to mortgages in Kansas City and across the United States during much of the 20th century. The FHA promoted policies that encouraged racial segregation and made it difficult for Black families to purchase homes or obtain fair mortgage rates in many neighborhoods. Some key aspects of the FHA's involvement include:
- FHA underwriting manuals from the 1930s warned against making loans in neighborhoods with "inharmonious racial groups" and encouraged racial segregation. This directly contributed to the practice of redlining, where Black neighborhoods were marked as high-risk on maps.
- Loans were rarely given to Black families wanting to purchase

Media Advisory Press Contact: Kai Stansberry kai@ahomewithhope.org (817) 875-6117 Community Responds to Urgent Need to Provide Homeless with Valid IDs Tarrant County Homeless Coalition to conduct ID Blitz Initiative March 12, 2011 (Fort Worth) - In the wake of the tragic van accident that took the lives of at least two homeless individuals last week, the Tarrant County Homeless Coalition (TCHC) will conduct an ID Blitz, an initiative that removes barriers common to persons experiencing homelessness such as getting a copy of their birth certificate, applying for a state ID, or acquiring a replacement social security card. The ID Blitz initiative will take place at the 2011 Feed By Grace Unity Park "Spring Fling" event. TCHC will seek to enroll a minimum of 100 homeless individuals in the Invisible Bracelet (IB) program. Initiated by MedStar, the IB Bracelet program allows medical first responders to establish identity, access emergency contacts, and obtain critical medical background information. During the 3/12 event, TCHC will also promote the Texas Driver Responsibility Program that offers an amnesty program for persons with surcharges that prevent homeless from securing a current ID or Drivers license because of an accrual of surcharges. “Many of the individuals facing homelessness are unable to be identified because they do not have proper identification, which is frequently lost in the everyday activities of surviving while homeless,” said Cindy J. Crain, executive director of TCHC. “This ID Blitz marks an aggressive action to eliminate this persistent obstacle, the first step for those who want to move from homelessness to gainful employment and secured housing.” When: Saturday, March 12th Time: 8:30am – 12pm Where: Unity Park - 1401 East Presidio Street, Fort Worth, TX 76102 About Tarrant County Homeless Coalition The Tarrant County Homeless Coalition (TCHC) is a not-for-profit, 501c(3) organization formed in 1989 to provide leadership to prevent and end homelessness in Tarrant County.
