The reauthorization of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Program offers homeless youth providers a greater opportunity to access housing support. Changes in statutory language also allow greater flexibility to design housing programs that meet the needs of homeless youth. This session will focus on how the HEARTH Act benefits homeless youth.

Useful information about extreme poverty in Bangladesh and interesting lessons and insights about how to address it. For example: “Three principles for engaging with extreme poor (a blended approach): ensure sufficient present security to enable people to start planning in the future through direct support for sustainable subsistence; combine present survival with future provision for children; and support safety nets, insurance and social protection to cope with vulnerability, uncertainties, hazards and shocks”. For inclusive market facilitators the question then becomes: how can we use market systems to realise those principles?

Unit vi national policy on senior citizens 2011anjalatchi
• The foundation of the new policy, known as the “National Policy for Senior Citizens 2011” is based on several factors. These include the demographic explosion among the elderly, the changing economy and social milieu, advancement in medical research, science and technology and high levels of destitution among the elderly rural poor (51 million elderly live below the poverty line). A higher proportion of elderly women than men experience loneliness and are dependent on children. Social deprivations and exclusion, privatization of health services and changing pattern of morbidity affect the elderly. All those of 60 years and above are senior citizens. This policy addresses issues concerning senior citizens living in urban and rural areas, special needs of the “oldest old? and older women.
