In 2009, President Obama and the VA announced a goal to end veteran homelessness by 2015. A primary approach used was Housing First, which provides grants to organizations assisting very low-income veteran families and individuals. Studies show Housing First successfully reduces time to housing, increases housing retention, and decreases emergency services usage. The results suggest Housing First could improve outcomes for any experiencing homelessness.

Exploring the potential for using predictive modelling in identifying end of life care needs - 15 February 2013 - National End of Life Care Programme / Whole Systems Partnership
This report, produced in partnership with Whole Systems Partnership, is based on a project which reviewed the literature on predictive modelling, canvassed views and engaged with interested parties to formulate an initial response to the opportunities presented by predictive modelling approaches in identifying people likely to be nearing the end of life.
Predictive modelling involves the interrogation of datasets to inform professional judgement about potential needs. It is hoped that the findings of this report will be used to enable commissioners and providers of services to better understand and meet people's end of life care preferences and wishes, supporting more people to live and die well in their preferred place.

The description of the grant to be used in this paper includes the promotion and foster of community partnerships to reduce homelessness in various communities. In essence, the project is intended to engage both provincial and territorial government levels to join the effort of aligning homelessness investments and priorities with the ultimate goals and objectives to prevent and reduce the aspect of homelessness especially in many youths (Forchuk, 2018). To elaborate, the grant is a unique program based on community affairs with the ultimate goals of eliminating if not reducing homelessness issues within various communities. Moreover, the project is aimed to accomplish this by encouraging funders to directly provide their support and funds to about sixty designated communities across all territories and provinces that are possible to reach. The most appropriate hyperlink for identifying RFP is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6054288/
One of the significant factors that make this grant to be worth and for one to gain the confidant of pursuing it is the fact that it has been witnessed working for other countries. For instance, the grant was implemented in Canada in 2011, where it served over three hundred projects and managed to raise over fifty-five million Canadian dollars. The funds were well utilized by focusing them on, especially youth and young adults of age fifteen to twenty-eight. Based on that, it is a potential grant that I believe if well managed it is worth to take the risk as it guarantees the reduction of homelessness.
For evaluation purposes, several questions were identified to assess whether the grant was aligned with the objectives and goals of eliminating or reducing the aspect homelessness in various communities within the country. Furthermore, there were designed questions that aimed at assessing the progress of the program in its implementation including coordination, communication, reporting, adherence to housing first principles, monitoring as well as an assessment of early outcomes of the grant.
In accomplishing all the necessary criteria that were required by the project, I utilized Bing as my search engine for the task.
The goals and objectives of the selected funding agency are to ensure that it provides all the necessary resources that can enable the non-profitable organizations with its purposes of fulfilling the intended impact towards the communities concerned. Besides, the agency is aimed at addressing the essential issues relating to homelessness of especially youths and young adults within different communities.
The primary reason for selecting the RFP is accompanied by the fact that commu ...
Building capacity for creating demand in support of malaria prevention and co...Malaria Consortium
Demand creation is the strategic combination of advocacy, communication and mobilisation approaches that seek to achieve increased community awareness of, and demand for, effective malaria prevention and treatment services.
Malaria Consortium's Support to National Malaria Programme (SuNMaP) demand creation strategy for prevention currently focuses on promoting the correct use of long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and the use of intermittent preventive therapy (IPT) in pregnant women. For malaria treatment, demand creation focuses on promoting improved testing, prompt and proper use of artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) treatment for individual cases of malaria, and effective home management of fever, together with referrals of severe cases to a higher-level health facility.
This learning paper discusses SuNMap's experiences of planning and implementing demand creation in Nigeria, including SuNMaP's development of a comprehensive malaria communications plan. It presents what worked well and the challenges that remain to scale up demand creation activities and to consolidate the work already done.
Best practice in Direct Payments supportRich Watts
Via the excellent Think Local, Act Personal - and written by Sam Bennett and Simon Stockton -- Best Practice in Direct Payment Support: A guide for commissioners was originally funded by the London Joint Improvement Partnership and describes how to commission really good direct payments support by showcasing examples of innovative practice. It provides a practical toolkit to benchmark against best practice, identify gaps and build a shared view with local people and providers of how to develop the support needed to make DPs an attractive option for more people. The revised version includes new pointers on safeguarding and increased emphasis on the wide variety of ways DPs can be used beyond securing personal assistants, including to access mainstream services and create microenterprises.
