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 ...

Institutional Affiliation
Often policies aimed at improving the situation of certain conditions in the society are formulated, passed and made ready for implementation. However, challenges face the implementation phase of the policies. There are a number of challenges that may hinder the implementation of a certain policy. These range from physical, social, economic, environmental and economic factors. this paper will seek to exploit the cost factors that affect the implementation of the juvenile delinquency policy. These fall under the economic factors of the above-named factors. These include a measure of the benefits that are to be realized upon switching to the new policy.
Training Costs.
Implementation of any policy involves capacity building of individuals who are going to disseminate the information to different part of the nation. This includes carrying out training in different places so as to ensure that the public is sensitized on the importance of this particular policy of juvenile delinquency for our case. This may include training in the institutions and also community-based training all of which will require funds for facilitation.
Incorporations Cost
The implementation of this policy will involve the provision of education to children in order to mold them to the desirable state of behavior. There will be a need of taking even the children who do not have access to education to institutions by ensuring that education is free of charge to all. To ensure these, the government of the day is obliged to sponsor these programs hence will need to source funds for the program.
Program Sustenance Cost
Once a program to support this policy is started, it important to ensure that the program is kept going on. There should be a consideration of the ways to sustain the program through the provision of necessities like learning materials among other education materials.
Administrative Costs.
These are the costs that are incurred to run the program in different places. This includes salaries for the officer responsible for overseeing the policy implementation in the different locations. This is also a great factor to put into consideration.
Ensuring The Participation of Different Groups in This Policy.
The involvement of the groups within the society is very important as it boosts this policy implementation. There are a number of ways that can be used to ensure the participation of these individual groups within society. The mass media being one of the groups can be involved through carrying out the campaigns via the media houses. The media houses can air any information that is supposed to pass across to the society. The media houses can also horst in.

Programmatic purposes and outcomes
Select and discuss three programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated. In your discussion, provide the rationale for the purposes and outcomes selected. It will be assumed the purposes and outcomes selected were influenced by the program being evaluated.
The program that I will be discussing is human service programs. In the abiding endeavor to enhance human service programs, service providers, policy makers and funders are more and more recognizing the significance of thorough program evaluations. They want to know what the programs achieve, what they spend, and how they must be operated to attain maximum cost efficiency. They want to recognize which programs function for which groups, and they need endings based on proof, as opposed to impassioned pleas and testimonials. The purposes should state the extensive, extensive range result that maintains the mission of the program, including content information areas, performance prospects, and values anticipated of program graduates. Purposes can be stated in wider and more stirring language than outcomes that have to be measurable and specific. Outcome is the reason nonprofit organizations struggle to build capacity and deliver programs. Measurement of outcomes is the systematic way of assessing the extent to which a program has attained its intended results.
The programmatic purposes and outcomes that should be evaluated include:
Programmatic purposes
· To monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department.
Without departments, the purpose or goals of human services would be very hard to fulfill. Human services is a very large sector that entails a wide range of skills, knowledge and disciplines focused on enhancing the well being of human both collectively and individually. Just like there are a lot of sectors in human services, so too there are a huge variety of functions of the human service programs that need to be evaluated so as to accomplish the purpose of the program (Connell, Kubisch, Schorr & Weiss, 1995). One of the programmatic purposes of human service programs is to monitor functions for the Health and Human Services department. Any department or even sector requires frequent checks to make sure that it is functioning well and according to the purpose. This purpose is very crucial in the execution of the human service program goals. It needs to be evaluated to make sure that the functions of the health and human service department are in line with the programmatic purposes of the program.
· Assessing internal control over compliance requirements to provide reasonable assurance.
The compliance requirements are very crucial in every program as they make sure that the program is in line with its goals and makes sure it works towards achieving its stipulated outcomes. This purpose needs to be evaluated to m ...
This paper is produced on the basis of the on-going work of the Analyzing Development Issues Centre (ADIC) in collaboration with DC Research team working in Dak Dam commune in Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia, since 2013. It is aims to illustrate a different model of development that takes into account the active involvement of the communities for long term social, economic and environmental development. The paper begins with examining the mismatch of development approaches, followed by the concept of going with the flow of community life (GFCL) in participatory action research (PAR) then the emergence of community-corporate partnership (CCP) concept; its relation to social enterprise, and stock taking of CCP in its current practice in the communities.
Different approaches to development interventions in Cambodia have been tested to examine if they offer greater chance of ownership, benefits, and sustainability to the people or communities. Often, the claim of the intended beneficiaries to the approach comes nil when these factors are brought in. In one instance, community people were urged to advocate for their rights and access to land and forest resources when these were encroached on by powerful individuals or companies. Community people’s motivation comes to despair when the intended achievements end up beyond their reach. On the other hand, there are approaches such as the community forestry program that seeks to improve livelihoods in line with environmental conservation; however, the outcome is not realized because of the dependency on external support and the lack of subsidy to those who sacrifice for forest protection. This paper argues that there is an alternative to build a strong individual or household economic base before they effectively start engaging in protecting their resources. This lends itself to the concept of community-corporate partnership (CCP), which taps into available resources such as land from community people while capital and technical inputs come from outside for collective production that is based on mutually agreed principle of shared benefits and losses. Cases of coffee, pepper production and a few other cash crops are being experimented over the past year with indigenous people in upland Mondulkiri Province. Over the period, there have been manifestations of shared understanding, trust, control of processes and challenges, which indicate a promising path to long term benefits. This has long term potential for strengthening community solidarity for defending their rights to land and natural resources they presently depend upon for their living.

Based on the needs assessment of the Carilion Clinic, they immediately began to work on investments such as new accessible health service buildings in different areas of the region and community. This was done by collaborating with a variety of organizations, such as the United Way of Roanoke Valley. For instance, New Horizons Dental Clinic was created based on the data presented by the community needs assessment demonstrating the great need for accessible dental care. Nancy Agee, President and CEO of Carilion Clinic states in the video that collaborating with many different organizations is critical in order to “look at the whole diversity of our region and strengthen relationships so we’re not replicating efforts, but rather we’re complementing and strengthening our efforts to improve health” (2015). I believe the needs assessment allowed them to specifically pinpoint what their community needed, and this allowed them to truly help the community directly. I would recommend the clinic to continue to utilize surveys and the needs assessment to focus on the community itself. This is because the alternative data sources available on a national and state level is not sufficient. The more Carilion Clinic interacts with the community directly, the more beneficial it will be for communities across the region, as well as themselves.

Needs assessment, program planning and evaluation are all integrated. For instance, as the book states “the evaluation of a program begins with its needs assessment. Data collected during a needs assessment can often serve as part of the baseline or “pretest” data needed for impact and outcome evaluations” (
Hodges & Videto, 2011, p.4). In other words, in order to for program planning to be successful, it is critical a needs assessment is done and followed by an evaluation of the needs assessment.

MAPP, as stated in the text, begins with the development of partnerships and identifying the participants for the needs assessment (Hodges & Videto, 2011, p.10). MAPP was used by Carilion Clinic though the use of their collaboration with other organizations, non-profits, health agencies, and the government. This strengthened the Carilion clinic’s goal as it provided more resources to accomplish the shared vision of improving the communities’ quality of life and delivery of care. APEXPH was used through its three parts throughout Carilion Clinic’s process. The first part, which as mentioned in the book is the self-assessment, was illustrated in the beginning of the video when Nancy, President and CEO, states the issues and goals at hand. The second part, the community process, is demonstrated with the community health needs assessment committee. This is the part where the program objective is derived from. The third part, concluding the cycle, is seen in the example of the New Horizon’s Dental Clinic, where Carilion’s decision based on the ne ...

Needs assessments are a form of research conducted to gather information about the needs of a population or a group in a community (Tutty & Rothery, 2010, p. 149). One purpose of a needs assessment is to explore in more depth whether a new program within an organization or agency is needed (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Key questions of this type of needs assessment may revolve around: (1) whether there are enough prospective clients to warrant this type of program, (2) the different activities or programs that the respondents would be interested in using, priorities for some activities over others, (3) importance of the activities, and (4) times in which this program would be desired and used (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Potential barriers for the implementation of a new program should also be assessed to ensure the best possible outcome. Some barriers to services could include factors such as: location, costs, potential need for fees, and possible psychological issues related to such things. The following is an assessment of an intensive outpatient program for youth, and a potential need that is currently being unmet.
Post a needs assessment plan for a potential program of your choice that meets a currently unmet need. Describe the unmet need and how current information supports your position that a needs assessment is warranted.

The Core Values of the Universal Child Care Organization
The universal child welfare value is the intervening ethical end aimed by the entire characteristics of the child welfare part of the practice. Also, it is a source integration of general basic values of social work because, for children, liberty comprises of the likelihood to grow as well as build up without harm as well as exploitation. The justice of children includes right to basic needs along with nurturance. Moreover, a child does not request to be produced, therefore it is children birthright. Additionally, these privileges are present for the reason that children, similar to adults, are also human beings having intrinsic as well as irreducible value. As a final point, if we do possess some selfless obligation to fellow individuals, it is particularly likely for children because we are the ones who create them to be, reliant on us, they are weak, as well as they lack power and influence.
Another important core value of the universal child welfare organization is known as transparency. through the Universal Child Welfare Organization is allowing the character of human service professionals to walk before them, and use their heart to speak boldly, clearly and with confidence on the societal issue of child welfare. Each year, more than thirty billion dollars is spent on a federal, state and local level in order to stimulate the well-being of vulnerable children and their families. However, with the core value of transparency involved in this nonprofit organization, we are able to promote ongoing quality improvement in child welfare. Even with the core value of transparency, there comes some sort of accountability within the child protection system; as the more we increase transparency in our child protection system the more aware the public is about what is taking place in a day-to-day child protection work, the less likely issues within the system will be overlooked until yet another tragedy takes place.
To contribute to the well-being of the people, groups, families, and global communities, the child welfare agency has formed numerous policy and norms to direct practiced activity, for instance, the application of change theory which will be applied by altering the performance of foster care as well as policies employed to foster care along with the community’s opinion of foster children. Also, it shall start with providing the problems to be transformed to the related parties as well as influencing them to create a way for a change in the manner foster children are treated.
What is its mission?
The mission of the Child welfare is to protect, promote, and improve the protection, wellbeing as well as the healt.

Delinquency Prevention and Diversion Programs 5Introduction
Delinquency prevention programs entail superseding youths' and children's lives to deter them from delinquent acts. Delinquency prevention programs occur outside the juvenile justice system, and the plans are not organized to undermine and exclude justice personnel. Diversion programs are substitutes that are entwined to initial or progressive official dispensation of the youth in the juvenile delinquency system. Diversion programs majorly entail redirecting the youthful wrongdoers from the justice system through different programs such as sports, supervision, and recreational activities. In this work, we will see the basic assumptions for these programs, the justification of these programs, and the public's reluctance to finance them. Basic Assumptions for Delinquency Prevention and Diversion ProgramsA match in the parties
There should be an understanding between all the underlying parties for the prevention delinquency and diversion program to be successful. According to Lipsey, the parties involved include the juvenile target, the host organization, and the program's concepts. The targeted individual must be willing to undergo the guide program in his trial to quit the adapted behavior. In this case, the target is the leading party since the whole program's success depends on their willingness. The host must also be willing to work with the particular individual, lay and work a program suitable for the exercise (Farrington, et al, 2017). The most applicable program to this assumption is the school program. Since many minors spend a lot of time in school than in any other institution, there is a need to conduct delinquency prevention and diversion programs in schools. Therefore, the school must be willing to roll a plan suitable to accommodate the targeted juvenile's interests. The parents may also play a part in convincing the juvenile to enroll in that program. The assumptions work in all preventions; primary, secondary and tertiary preventions. The matching of all the parties hence makes it easy for the program to run. No specific program is effective
In these juvenile court programs of delinquency prevention, we assume no single program can effectively do away with delinquency. The main reason behind this assumption is that the underlying problems are from different sources. The crimes may be a result of low housing, poverty, inadequate education, among others. These existing problems are complex and independent, such that not a single program can overhaul them once. Therefore, the host organization must plan on a series of programs related to each of the problems. Besides, it is prudent to target the issues first rather than the prevention of their outcomes. (Johnson, 1998) suggests that for effective prevention, we have to deal with t ...

Introduction
Evidence-based practice refers to the integration of clinical expertise, research evidence, and application of patient values during the process of making decisions for the care of clients and patients. The practices have been tested and studied comprehensively to ensure that they are conscientious and explicit for the provision of the best care to the patients (Baker & Tickle-Degnen 2014). In the case of the two previously exposed campaigns, project action and teens stopping AIDS in Sacramento there is need to assess the strategies put forward and evaluate whether they are in line with evidence-based practice.
A comparison and contrast of the campaign strategies with evidence-based practice
The strategies which were employed by the two campaigns have some similarity as well as differences in different perspectives. The campaign strategies were divided into phases which are similar to the evidence-based practice. For example, in teens stopping Aids campaign, the first phase is to describe the problem which had led to the conduction of the campaign (Fisher et al., 2014). Similarly, in evidence-based practice, the first thing which is done is to ask a question which provides the problem of the patient or client. Other similar phases include evaluation, planning, and selection of the best interventions.
On the other hand, there is some difference between the campaign's strategies and evidence based care. The two campaigns are employing a group of people who are involved in decision making who represent many groups in the population of interest. However, the nurse for example in evidence-based care is the one who uses their expertise and refers to the documented scientific evidence and then decide what is best for the patient but of course in collaboration with the patients who are being cared for (Rundle, 2014).
Adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the strategies proposed
Prevention of Aids transmission is not a simple task and therefore comprehensive and suitable strategies needed to be adopted, implemented and ensure that they remain active and in use in preventing further cases of infection. The primary focus strategy of the two campaigns was behavioral change. This aspect is supreme in determining whether the policies proposed will be adopted, implemented and maintained in the community or not (Kalichman, 2014).
Through heavy campaigning, the aim was to provide information about the disease, reduce stigma, enhance the accessibility of services, delaying the first onset of sex, reducing the number of sexual partners among others all of which are part of the behavior that needed to be changed. Other than that, provision of comprehensive information was vital to ensuring that the strategies were adopted and maintained by the community (Cordner, 2014). This was done by making ...

Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analy
Promoting Safe and Stable Families
The role of nurses throughout healthcare program and policy evaluation is vital to our role as change agents within our communities. As nurses we participate in the evaluation process every time we go to work, assess our patients, and then partake in delivery of care. If we want to our voices to be heard we must be willing to take our evaluation skills to the next level. We must ask ourselves tough questions about whether the healthcare programs we are providing are meeting the needs of patients, their families, and communities. We must evaluate the healthcare program goals and outcomes to help determine whether it remains fiscally responsible and continues to meet a need in the population it aims to serve. Ultimately, we cannot blindly accept that the presence of a program validates its success. We must be willing and able to take personal action to ensure patients receive the highest quality of healthcare each and every day. The purpose of this paper is to present an evaluation of the Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program with respect to it’s background, goals, outcomes, success, costs and related nursing advocacy opportunities.
Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation
Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF)
Description
The Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program, which is more formally known as Title IV-B subpart 2 of the Social Security Act, aims to avoid unnecessary separations between caregivers and their children, protect permanency for children by taking the necessary steps to reunite them with their parents, when possible, or another permanent living situation, and to improve the quality of care and programming services being offered to children and their families to achieve maximum chance for stable families (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: Children’s Bureau, 2012).
The PSSF program has recently had two additional programs added, the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) and abstinence education. The goal of the PREP program is to provide state funding aimed at teen pregnancy prevention, addressing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the adolescent population, as well as teaching teens skills to prepare them for adulthood (ie financial responsibility and organization skills). The abstinence education portion provides grants to individual states to promote education to adolescents regarding delaying sexual activity in an effort to further reduce teen pregnancy rates, but also to promote development of healthy relationships and establishment of healthy boundaries in at-risk populations such as homeless teens or those in foster care (United States Department of Health & Human Services, 2018).
How was the success of the program or policy measured?
Success of the PSSF program has been measured by the fact that funding for this program became a ma ...

McLeroy et al examine the four categories of community-based projects: community as setting, community as target, community as agent, and community as resource. The goal of community-based programs is to carefully work with naturally occurring units of solution as our units of practice. This necessitates a careful assessment of community structures and processes of any intervention.

Check this scenario out. Long term care can consists of servicing patients need at a patient's home, providing meals, transportation and in home therapy. Some long term care is within the home and some can be rehab. Lets say there is a growing need to extend those services to our growing need in elderly population. Part of that need is a demand for servicing the increasing population of the Hispanic community. We as a team need to meet with a cross- functional management team that can relay the need and services outside of the facility. We need hired people who are bilingual that can work the call center, deliver food, offer in home therapy, and provide transportation.

Based on the needs assessment of the Carilion Clinic, they immediately began to work on investments such as new accessible health service buildings in different areas of the region and community. This was done by collaborating with a variety of organizations, such as the United Way of Roanoke Valley. For instance, New Horizons Dental Clinic was created based on the data presented by the community needs assessment demonstrating the great need for accessible dental care. Nancy Agee, President and CEO of Carilion Clinic states in the video that collaborating with many different organizations is critical in order to “look at the whole diversity of our region and strengthen relationships so we’re not replicating efforts, but rather we’re complementing and strengthening our efforts to improve health” (2015). I believe the needs assessment allowed them to specifically pinpoint what their community needed, and this allowed them to truly help the community directly. I would recommend the clinic to continue to utilize surveys and the needs assessment to focus on the community itself. This is because the alternative data sources available on a national and state level is not sufficient. The more Carilion Clinic interacts with the community directly, the more beneficial it will be for communities across the region, as well as themselves.

Needs assessment, program planning and evaluation are all integrated. For instance, as the book states “the evaluation of a program begins with its needs assessment. Data collected during a needs assessment can often serve as part of the baseline or “pretest” data needed for impact and outcome evaluations” (
Hodges & Videto, 2011, p.4). In other words, in order to for program planning to be successful, it is critical a needs assessment is done and followed by an evaluation of the needs assessment.

MAPP, as stated in the text, begins with the development of partnerships and identifying the participants for the needs assessment (Hodges & Videto, 2011, p.10). MAPP was used by Carilion Clinic though the use of their collaboration with other organizations, non-profits, health agencies, and the government. This strengthened the Carilion clinic’s goal as it provided more resources to accomplish the shared vision of improving the communities’ quality of life and delivery of care. APEXPH was used through its three parts throughout Carilion Clinic’s process. The first part, which as mentioned in the book is the self-assessment, was illustrated in the beginning of the video when Nancy, President and CEO, states the issues and goals at hand. The second part, the community process, is demonstrated with the community health needs assessment committee. This is the part where the program objective is derived from. The third part, concluding the cycle, is seen in the example of the New Horizon’s Dental Clinic, where Carilion’s decision based on the ne ...

Needs assessments are a form of research conducted to gather information about the needs of a population or a group in a community (Tutty & Rothery, 2010, p. 149). One purpose of a needs assessment is to explore in more depth whether a new program within an organization or agency is needed (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Key questions of this type of needs assessment may revolve around: (1) whether there are enough prospective clients to warrant this type of program, (2) the different activities or programs that the respondents would be interested in using, priorities for some activities over others, (3) importance of the activities, and (4) times in which this program would be desired and used (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Potential barriers for the implementation of a new program should also be assessed to ensure the best possible outcome. Some barriers to services could include factors such as: location, costs, potential need for fees, and possible psychological issues related to such things. The following is an assessment of an intensive outpatient program for youth, and a potential need that is currently being unmet.
Post a needs assessment plan for a potential program of your choice that meets a currently unmet need. Describe the unmet need and how current information supports your position that a needs assessment is warranted.

The Core Values of the Universal Child Care Organization
The universal child welfare value is the intervening ethical end aimed by the entire characteristics of the child welfare part of the practice. Also, it is a source integration of general basic values of social work because, for children, liberty comprises of the likelihood to grow as well as build up without harm as well as exploitation. The justice of children includes right to basic needs along with nurturance. Moreover, a child does not request to be produced, therefore it is children birthright. Additionally, these privileges are present for the reason that children, similar to adults, are also human beings having intrinsic as well as irreducible value. As a final point, if we do possess some selfless obligation to fellow individuals, it is particularly likely for children because we are the ones who create them to be, reliant on us, they are weak, as well as they lack power and influence.
Another important core value of the universal child welfare organization is known as transparency. through the Universal Child Welfare Organization is allowing the character of human service professionals to walk before them, and use their heart to speak boldly, clearly and with confidence on the societal issue of child welfare. Each year, more than thirty billion dollars is spent on a federal, state and local level in order to stimulate the well-being of vulnerable children and their families. However, with the core value of transparency involved in this nonprofit organization, we are able to promote ongoing quality improvement in child welfare. Even with the core value of transparency, there comes some sort of accountability within the child protection system; as the more we increase transparency in our child protection system the more aware the public is about what is taking place in a day-to-day child protection work, the less likely issues within the system will be overlooked until yet another tragedy takes place.
To contribute to the well-being of the people, groups, families, and global communities, the child welfare agency has formed numerous policy and norms to direct practiced activity, for instance, the application of change theory which will be applied by altering the performance of foster care as well as policies employed to foster care along with the community’s opinion of foster children. Also, it shall start with providing the problems to be transformed to the related parties as well as influencing them to create a way for a change in the manner foster children are treated.
What is its mission?
The mission of the Child welfare is to protect, promote, and improve the protection, wellbeing as well as the healt.

Delinquency Prevention and Diversion Programs 5Introduction
Delinquency prevention programs entail superseding youths' and children's lives to deter them from delinquent acts. Delinquency prevention programs occur outside the juvenile justice system, and the plans are not organized to undermine and exclude justice personnel. Diversion programs are substitutes that are entwined to initial or progressive official dispensation of the youth in the juvenile delinquency system. Diversion programs majorly entail redirecting the youthful wrongdoers from the justice system through different programs such as sports, supervision, and recreational activities. In this work, we will see the basic assumptions for these programs, the justification of these programs, and the public's reluctance to finance them. Basic Assumptions for Delinquency Prevention and Diversion ProgramsA match in the parties
There should be an understanding between all the underlying parties for the prevention delinquency and diversion program to be successful. According to Lipsey, the parties involved include the juvenile target, the host organization, and the program's concepts. The targeted individual must be willing to undergo the guide program in his trial to quit the adapted behavior. In this case, the target is the leading party since the whole program's success depends on their willingness. The host must also be willing to work with the particular individual, lay and work a program suitable for the exercise (Farrington, et al, 2017). The most applicable program to this assumption is the school program. Since many minors spend a lot of time in school than in any other institution, there is a need to conduct delinquency prevention and diversion programs in schools. Therefore, the school must be willing to roll a plan suitable to accommodate the targeted juvenile's interests. The parents may also play a part in convincing the juvenile to enroll in that program. The assumptions work in all preventions; primary, secondary and tertiary preventions. The matching of all the parties hence makes it easy for the program to run. No specific program is effective
In these juvenile court programs of delinquency prevention, we assume no single program can effectively do away with delinquency. The main reason behind this assumption is that the underlying problems are from different sources. The crimes may be a result of low housing, poverty, inadequate education, among others. These existing problems are complex and independent, such that not a single program can overhaul them once. Therefore, the host organization must plan on a series of programs related to each of the problems. Besides, it is prudent to target the issues first rather than the prevention of their outcomes. (Johnson, 1998) suggests that for effective prevention, we have to deal with t ...

Introduction
Evidence-based practice refers to the integration of clinical expertise, research evidence, and application of patient values during the process of making decisions for the care of clients and patients. The practices have been tested and studied comprehensively to ensure that they are conscientious and explicit for the provision of the best care to the patients (Baker & Tickle-Degnen 2014). In the case of the two previously exposed campaigns, project action and teens stopping AIDS in Sacramento there is need to assess the strategies put forward and evaluate whether they are in line with evidence-based practice.
A comparison and contrast of the campaign strategies with evidence-based practice
The strategies which were employed by the two campaigns have some similarity as well as differences in different perspectives. The campaign strategies were divided into phases which are similar to the evidence-based practice. For example, in teens stopping Aids campaign, the first phase is to describe the problem which had led to the conduction of the campaign (Fisher et al., 2014). Similarly, in evidence-based practice, the first thing which is done is to ask a question which provides the problem of the patient or client. Other similar phases include evaluation, planning, and selection of the best interventions.
On the other hand, there is some difference between the campaign's strategies and evidence based care. The two campaigns are employing a group of people who are involved in decision making who represent many groups in the population of interest. However, the nurse for example in evidence-based care is the one who uses their expertise and refers to the documented scientific evidence and then decide what is best for the patient but of course in collaboration with the patients who are being cared for (Rundle, 2014).
Adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the strategies proposed
Prevention of Aids transmission is not a simple task and therefore comprehensive and suitable strategies needed to be adopted, implemented and ensure that they remain active and in use in preventing further cases of infection. The primary focus strategy of the two campaigns was behavioral change. This aspect is supreme in determining whether the policies proposed will be adopted, implemented and maintained in the community or not (Kalichman, 2014).
Through heavy campaigning, the aim was to provide information about the disease, reduce stigma, enhance the accessibility of services, delaying the first onset of sex, reducing the number of sexual partners among others all of which are part of the behavior that needed to be changed. Other than that, provision of comprehensive information was vital to ensuring that the strategies were adopted and maintained by the community (Cordner, 2014). This was done by making ...

The role of nurses throughout healthcare program and policy evaluation is vital to our role as change agents within our communities. As nurses we participate in the evaluation process every time we go to work, assess our patients, and then partake in delivery of care. If we want to our voices to be heard we must be willing to take our evaluation skills to the next level. We must ask ourselves tough questions about whether the healthcare programs we are providing are meeting the needs of patients, their families, and communities. We must evaluate the healthcare program goals and outcomes to help determine whether it remains fiscally responsible and continues to meet a need in the population it aims to serve. Ultimately, we cannot blindly accept that the presence of a program validates its success.

250 words discussion not an assignement
The purpose of this discussion is to gain a more complete awareness of the extent of socio-environmental influences impacting the development of adolescents. Triandis (as cited in Coon and Kemmelmeier, 2001) states, "Individualism and collectivism are broadly defined cultural syndromes that encompass a number of elements, including values, norms, goals, and behaviors" (Coon and Kemmelmeier, 2001, p. 348).
Consider the audio piece in this unit's studies (also linked in the Resources) that compares two teens' viewpoints of life within their cultural domains. This piece highlights the impact of family, community, and cultural beliefs and values on an individual's development. For your initial post in this discussion, explore these influences by addressing the following questions:
How does exposure to media influence the manner in which adolescents develop?
How does exposure to peers influence development in both systems?
Using the reading from the textbook on risky behaviors, how might adolescents' influences and understanding of risk be different, based on their culture and expectations of self?
The optional reading in this unit's studies may provide additional information to support your post, if you choose to use it.
Response Guidelines
Respond to one learner by supporting his or her analysis of the two teens with additional information you have acquired outside of the textbook. Cite and reference your source with proper APA formatting. Be sure to address concepts in the post and find any similarities in your thinking as well.

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Part one
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
2. 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
3. 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 community-based programs tend to be more
reliable and effective when it comes to dealing with issues
affecting people in societies. In essence, it is much easier to
identify such problems through community initiatives as they
tend to understand which issues affect them and the core roots
or foundation of the issues. Also, since the issues are
community-based, the people living in such communities have
experiences in regards to how they face the problems and how
they tend to reduce the issues by the limited resources available
for them (Belone, 2016). As such, I select the community-based
program because homelessness is an issue that can well be
explained by the community itself and the people living in such
communities knows why many youths and young adults find
themselves on streets without a place they can refer to as home.
Also, they see the foundation of the issue and how well they can
utilize the funds provided by the funders to reduce and
eliminate the aspect of homelessness within their respective
communities.
Part two
The project Intend to choose is the Homelessness
Partnering Strategy which is a unique program that aims at
working with various communities. The primary goal of
partnering with community-based initiatives is to attempt on
eradicating homelessness situations, especially for youths and
young adults. Substantially, there has been a significant
increase in youths and young adults with no place to call home.
As such, I intend to propose an effective and efficient way that
can help to reduce the number of people without shelter in
various communities and for a long term, completely eradicate
the issue from all communities across the nation.
The significance of this grant is that at the end of its
implementation, all youths and young adults without homes will
4. be provided with a shelter they can refer to as their homes. On
the other hand, the innovative thing about the grant is that it
tends to include the community as its major partnership.
As I toured different communities within our country, I
realized that since I was a little child, the number of youths and
young adults who tend to sleep across the streets have
drastically increased to a significant amount. Therefore, I saw
that there was the need to give the matter attention since the
conditioned could even be worse if not attended to. For this
reason, I think that my project should be considered and the
funders should as well fund it because I have no adequate
resources to implement it.
The concerned project is better since unlike many projects
with similar goals and objectives, the Homelessness Partnering
Strategy is a program or project that aims at promoting and
fostering community to work together with our organizations in
identifying the issues that typically results to homelessness and
which ways are effective in dealing and eliminating them.

6. Family Nurse Practitioner
The Family Nurse Practitioner role has advanced with an
expansion in the population, making extreme interest for
patients requiring essential care. Family nurse experts (FNPs)
are ending up increasingly overwhelming with the capacity to
think about patients of all different life stages and age groups.
Many Americans globally have been essential care under the
service of FNPs. From a study conducted by the American
Association of Nurse Practitioners, more than 75% of FNPs
provided primary care (2015).
Required Competencies for Family Nurse Practitioners
FNP requires undergoing a high level of training together with
completion of master’s programs in Nursing. "They should
likewise pass a national affirmation, occasional peer review,
clinical result assessments, and abide as indicated by ethical
practices. NPs should then keep up clinical competency through
continued training and development (AANP, 2018)." FNPs
function frequently works together with other medicinal
services suppliers to all the more likely care for patients and
their health status, consequently captivating ahead of time
clinical practice.
According to Hamric et al., (2013), FNPs primary role is to
participate in consultations programs that help them apply
different advanced measure in promoting quality care for the
patients. To effectively work in a medical care setting, NPs
needs to have a comprehensive understanding of different
counteractive actions for diseases, promotions services, and
wellbeing education. FNPs work alongside other primary
providers to serve in a diverse setting such as specialty medical
care services, primary, and acute to work effectively with a
different group and life stages.
Professional Organizations for Family Nurse Practitioners
7. American Association of Nurse practitioners is a national
association for NPs. Their main goal is to urge NP's to promote
quality medicinal services by training, instruction, support,
research, and initiative. This association offers a variety of
advantages for their individuals, for example, networking
opportunities, giving training and profession essentials, diaries
and memberships, proficient practice apparatuses, discounts,
and backing. The most gainful and valuable advantage would be
advocacy because of their continued authority and cooperation
with NP groups. They additionally give leadership and
consultation from a regional and universal level for medicinal
services elements, consumers, policymakers, and lawmakers
(Woo, Lee & San Tam, 2017). Metrolina Coalition of Nurse
Practitioners is a state association that spotlights on systems
administration, instruction, community ventures, Nurse
Practitioner awareness, and understudy preceptorship (Metrolina
Coalition of Nurse Practitioners, 2013). National Organization
of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) mission is to be the
leader in quality training for Nurse Practitioners. NONPF
training goals are to provide education to FNP scholars through
evidence-based systems and available resources to advance
brilliance. Likewise the association offers grants in research,
training and leadership (National Organization of Nurse
Practitioner Faculties, 2018). Every one of these associations
would be helpful in my expert vocation as a Family Nurse
Practitioner. They would give free continuing training
activities, current news on medicinal services themes, and
supporter for the NP profession on a state and national level.
Reflection
Concerning FNP program results, this course is a vital segment
to make progress after graduating. MSN-597 involves an
acknowledgment that the masters prepared FNP applies and
incorporates expansive, hierarchical, patient-focused, and
culturally suitable medical knowledge identifying vulnerable
population, providing care and services to the public,
application of evidence-based counteractive measures,
8. management, delivery and planning. Being a family nurse
practitioner, I should be able to take care of all patients ranging
from paediatrics to geriatrics. This class enhanced my clinical
knowledge and broadened my range of exposure.

Grant Part 1: Needs Statement, Goals, and Objectives
Needs Statement:
The lack of an adolescent’s shelter to cater for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transsexual [LGBT] adolescents has become an
underpinning problem which direly needs to be addressed with
the development of a shelter facility for these group. The shelter
also ought to incorporate programs that facilitate the
rehabilitation of these adolescents in the center and to mentor
them on the importance of education and career development.
This kind of project is dedicated to efforts that reduce social
inequality through demonstrable projects. There are various
factors that make this project a top priority, including the target
group being adolescents aged between thirteen and eighteen
years old, besides being a minority adolescents group that can
reform and complete their education and go to become more
productive in the society.
10. Moreover, housing is a basic human need and also a place one
can rest to reminisce on their personal life. Cochran, Stewart,
Ginzler, and Cauce (2012) argue that homeless bisexual,
lesbian, gay, transsexual, besides questioning adolescents’ aged
between thirteen and eighteen years old, face the lack of
housing access either because they are kicked out of their
parental homes, or they cannot comprehend the criticism by
their relatives and caregivers for their sexual orientation.
Following Durso and Gates (2012) the vulnerability of these
adolescents is further worsened as they are presented to brutal
street situations whereby they are high possibilities of being
assaulted physically, victimized, sexually assaulted, mugged,
and at worse being murdered. Besides, the freedom they have on
the streets has a high inclination towards compelling them to
indulge in other unsafe criminal activities, including, drug
abuse, robbery, and prostitution.
Keuroghlian, Shtasel, and Bassuk (2014) emphasize that by
bypassing such a conspicuous feature within the social work
system core principles, besides the strengths and needs of these
adolescents are far from being satisfactorily addressed.
Moreover, Tyler, Whitbeck, Hoyt, and Cauce (2004) pinpoint
that these adolescents represent characters from all different
genders and ethnicities. Hence, those who come from an ethnic
minority are even at a higher risk of being exposed to numerous
social ills, since they endeavor to even find acceptance within
their individual communities. These adolescents have twenty-
five percent suicide attempt rate as they encounter extra
pressures, barriers, and hurdles towards understanding and
acceptance. As a consequence, the project will be a timely one
towards addressing the problems being experienced by these
transgender adolescents.
Goals:
Goal #1:
A center that meets LGBT various needs and that uses a
collaborative model based on the investment and input from
multiple key stakeholders who provide different services needed
11. by these adolescents such as recreational, medical, and
education.
Goal #2:
Supporting mentors and the community to become
knowledgeable about LGBT adolescents social isolation and
stigmatization as well as how to support them in a professional
manner.
Goal#3:
An effective and successful LGBT adolescent’s center that has
the capability of reaching the maximum number of LGBT
adolescents with the maximum impact, developed out of the
needs identified by these adolescents themselves
Objectives:
Objective 1:
To develop and nurture an LGBTadolescent’s shelter that meets
various needs, including a safe space to access healthcare and
other social services.
Objective 2:
Training LGBT adolescents mentors on how to identify and
describe the concerns and issues of these adolescents and the
community.
Objective 3:
To provide a sustainable and stable LGBT adolescent's center,
besides provide emotional outlets opportunities, and champion's
personal and professional development.
Evaluation Criteria:
Evaluation Criteria 1:
· A developed and equipped LGBTadolescent’s shelter

14. Part one
The description of the grant to be used in this paper
includes the promotion and fostering 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://raikesfoundation.org/our-grants
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 given just this year to the Legal Counsel
for Youth to improve on the well-being of young people by
advancing their legal rights. Also, 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,
15. 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 community-based programs tend to be more
reliable and effective when it comes to dealing with issues
affecting people in societies. In essence, it is much easier to
identify such problems through community initiatives as they
tend to understand which issues affect them and the core roots
or foundation of the issues. Also, since the issues are
community-based, the people living in such communities have
experiences in regards to how they face the problems and how
they tend to reduce the issues by the limited resources available
for them (Belone, 2016). As such, I select the community-based
program because homelessness is an issue that can be explained
by the community itself and the people living in such
communities knows why many youths and young adults find
themselves on the streets without a place they can refer to as
home. Also, they see the foundation of the issue and how well
they can utilize the funds provided by the funders to reduce and
eliminate the aspect of homelessness within their respective
communities.
Part two
The project Intend to choose is the Homelessness
Partnering Strategy which is a unique program that aims at
working with various communities. The primary goal of
partnering with community-based initiatives is to attempt on
eradicating homelessness situations, especially for youths and
16. young adults. Substantially, there has been a significant
increase in youths and young adults with no place to call home.
As such, I intend to propose an effective and efficient way that
can help to reduce the number of people without shelter in
various communities and for a long term, completely eradicate
the issue from all communities across the nation.
The significance of this grant is that at the end of its
implementation, all youths and young adults without homes will
be provided with a shelter they can refer to as their homes. On
the other hand, the innovative thing about the grant is that it
tends to include the community as its major partnership.
As I toured different communities within our country, I
realized that since I was a little child, the number of youths and
young adults who tend to sleep across the streets have
drastically increased to a significant amount. Therefore, I saw
that there was a need to give the matter attention since the
conditioned could even be worse if not attended to. For this
reason, I think that my project should be considered and the
funders should fund it because I have no adequate resources to
implement it.
The concerned project is better since unlike many projects
with similar goals and objectives, the Homelessness Partnering
Strategy is a program or project that aims at promoting and
fostering community to work together with our organizations in
identifying the issues that typically results to homelessness and
which ways are effective in dealing and eliminating them.

Abstract:
My research will explore the issue of homelessness and
communal rejection among youths.
As per many writers, it is apparent that social exclusion is a
wide construct and that requires overlook of deprivation as well
18. as marginalization. The methodological decision that I will
employ in the study indicates my acknowledgment of youth’s
homeless and my obligation to socially just and fairness. In
order to have a deeper insight into the issue of youth’s
homelessness and marginalization, the study will treat homeless
youths as collaborators who will reveal their experiences as
homeless individuals.
The main objective of the study is to uncover the main micro-
sociological as well as macro-sociological suggestions that the
experiences of homelessness have on youths. To achieve the
objective, the study will examine this approach via the usage of
qualitative approaches that aid in unmasking the experiences of
homeless youths. In this line, I will seek to place who are
participating in my study as the producers of understanding.
This will be in line with my trust that every participant is taken
as equally able giving argumentative materials to help build on
scientific knowledge. The method of collecting data will be
completed via center groups in which the youths under my
guidelines will narrate their experience as homeless individuals
(Waldorf, 2001).
Having worked with homeless people for many years, I
developed a desire for social justice and equality. To have a
clear scope of the issue, I figured it is reasonable to conduct a
study to get relevant information from homeless youths from the
general population. As I gather information, it will be easier to
gain the help local organization. Simply, I hope to conduct a
meaningful study that will motivate me to be more involved in
voluntary works with this group.
To cater for logistics, the study will require $6000

Introduction
The issue of homelessness among young people has been
challenged especially with the increasing cost of housing. The
problem is becoming more worse when young people are in
schools and affect their educational programs. Homelessness
stresses young people so much because after carrying out their
21. activities during the day, they will not find somewhere to rest at
night. There are many challenges which are faced by homeless
youths. Some of them feel that they are hopeless and
despondent and sometimes can turn to the use of drugs and
alcohol. Abuse of drugs contributes to poor interaction with the
department of law enforcement hence interruption of the success
of the students. Drug abuse is linked to other criminal activities
because these young people will have to look for ways of
getting money to buy drugs. It also increases chances of sexual
harassment and transmission of diseases (Sieving et al, 2017).
Most people who cannot afford shelter, it will be difficult for
them to afford food. They will have poor health and nutrition.
The project will be focusing on Tri-Cities which are not an
exception of homelessness problems. A study which was done in
Tri-city showed that 34 percent of the population was living
with their families or friends. The chances of these friends or
families kicking them out are high since they are termed as a
burden to them. Therefore, the project proposal will look at the
issue of the homeless and how it can be addressed to build a
stable future for youths. The project will ensure that homeless
youths are provided with an integrated place where they can
connect to the resource and services. The project wills also
ensuring that there is a resource center which is located at each
of the three cities that is Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco. The
resource centers will help in identifying, tracking and reporting
cases of homeless among youths.
Need statement
The purpose of the project is to come up with strategies to
address homeless among youths in Tri-cities. Youths are faced
with housing challenges because most of them do not have
adequate finances to cater for their school fees, food, and
accommodation. Some are living with their friends and families
while others are living in the streets. Live is not easy when one
is homeless because he or she is hopeless about the future and
things which might happen in life (Utržan et al, 2017).
Homeless youths suffer from depression and they are more
22. likely to engage in criminal behaviors. Therefore, the research
will raise awareness on the issue of homelessness among
youths. It will lead to the establishment of centers which will be
reliable for identifying and tracking issues of homeless among
youths. Creation of awareness of homelessness among youths
will assist in understanding the challenges which they are
facing. Homeless youths will be able to give their response to
the problems because they are the one who is facing the
challenges. Homeless youths need mainstreaming of the
services which will enable has their long term success in the
future. Homeless youths need to be supported by ensuring that
they continue with their studies and they secure good jobs
which they can support themselves.
Goals and objectives
To introduce targeted prevention measures which assist in
supporting youths who experience the problem of homelessness.
This includes diversion of shelter so that all the youths who are
living in the streets have shelter. When youths have housing, it
will be easy to address other problems which are facing
homelessness youths. A stable housing makes the mind to be
stable and it becomes easy to look for a job which will sustain
other needs.
To ensure that there is access to education, health services,
employment, and other services. Recurrent of homelessness can
result when education, education, and employment of the young
people are not checked. Stability of a person forms around the
access of these services and without them it becomes difficult to
address them (Lou et al, 2018). Healthcare services are
essential for homeless youths so that they treated from the
diseases they are suffering from. Some of them suffer from
different diseases due to exposure to poor nutrition and sexual
abuse. They need proper assessment and diagnosis so that their
health problems are well addressed. Due to homeless, some of
the youths could not continue with their education and the
project will create awareness on the areas where such kind of
youths can be assisted.
23. To establish a resource center that will be identifying,
tracking and reporting issues of homelessness among youths.
The resource center will handle issues related to youth
homelessness and ensure that that they find a safe place to stay.
After identification and tracking of the issues, homeless youths
will be connected with their families or people who can assist
them. Social connectedness is very important because it assists
in preventing depression and lowliness. Some of the youths
who are experiencing homelessness live in the street and they
do not know any member of their families. Connecting homeless
youths with their families restore joy to them and ensure that
they live a good life. Their families will assist them and ensure
that they have gone back to their lives.
Methodology and evaluation plans
The study will be carried out in Tri-cities that are
Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco. The population for the will be
chosen randomly from the three cities and every homeless youth
will have an equal chance of participating. The methods that
will be used in the study ensure that there is free interaction
with the homelessness youths so that their problems can be
adequately addressed. The research will be mainly focusing on
the youths in Tri-Cities who have experienced homelessness.
The study will take six months for the three cities and it will
ensure that researchers have quality time to collect all important
information which is required to address the issues.
The study will employ a participatory method which will
be employed in collecting data on the challenges which are
faced by homelessness youths. They will give their ideal
experience on the state of homelessness and how it is associated
with other problems which end up affecting their lives.
Homeless youths who will participate through narrating their
experience will be chosen randomly. The group will be chosen
from those who have volunteered to participate. In participatory
approach focused group discussion will be used. Focused group
discussion will involve gathering a group of the homelessness
youths in each of the city. The topic of discussion will be the
24. problem of social exclusion from the families and how it has
contributed to the homeless state (Schwan et al, 2018). Social
exclusion, in this case, will aim at understanding the
deprivation and marginalization of the young people. Social
exclusion of the youths has deprived them education because
there is no support from the family members. The relationship
between social exclusion and education will be done by
analyzing how the two concepts affect each other. Through
drawing the analysis, one will be able to understand areas which
need to address so that social exclusion does not take place and
many of the young people remain united to their families.
In the focused discussion, homelessness youths will
explain the best response which they think should be taken to
address the issue. They will be able to give the views and
options on the best solutions which they think should be
incorporated by the government, private sectors and nonprofit
organizations to end homelessness among youths. Given the
opportunity to discuss it will be easy to understand how they
think the problem should be handled and how the government
has articulated strategies to deal with the matter. The study will
collaborate with the local authority and chiefs to ensure that
young people who are facing homeless problems will be able to
identify.
In the focused discussion, expertise will educate the
homeless youths on ways of handling the hard situation rather
than becoming homeless and being unable to cater to personal
needs. The project will also collaborate with the healthcare
facilities so that homeless youths who have urgent health needs
are immediately attended. Youths will know that when they
have problems in their lives they can be solved through sharing
their problems rather than being hopeless in life. There are
people and organizations that will be willing to assists and they
should not suffer in the street. Students who have become
homeless and unable to pay their schools fees will be
enlightened on where they can seek help when things are hard
for them (Sutherland, 2016). The study will also use an
25. interview with the volunteers who have worked with the
homeless youths and the challenges they face while addressing
their issues. The collaboration will include volunteer from all
cities and an interview will be conducted with them. These
volunteers know well the strategies which can easily solve the
issues since they have been working with the homeless youths.
Some of the members of the research team are people who were
helped after becoming homeless for quite some time and they
understand the problems very well. This will make interaction
with homelessness youths very easy. In data collection from
those who had experienced the state of homelessness and they
have been assisted will share their experience with
homelessness currently so that they feel free to share their
stories as well. Data collection will also entail encouraging
them to move to stable housing by seeking help from relevant
people.
The data will also be collected from secondary sources
such as journal and books. There are other researchers who have
done a study on homeless among youths in Tri-cities and this
study will ensure that the information is well captured. The
information will be keenly reviewed to ensure that information
on the past state of homelessness is captured. It will form a
basis for the recommendation and strategies which should be
taken to address the issues of homelessness in the Tri-cities. If
the number of homelessness youths is increasing, then the
strategies to solve the issues will have to be changed. The
questionnaire will be also used in collecting data on the age of
homelessness youths. It will include factors which contributed
to them being homeless and the duration which have stayed in
the condition of the homeless. It will also include other
personal questions on whether they are sexually active and how
do they get the partners of engaging in sexual activities. The
names of those involved in answering questionnaires will not be
revealed and a high level of confidentiality will be maintained.
The data will be also collected on how frequently they use
condoms during their sexual intercourse. The aim of this will be
26. assessing their probability of contracting diseases especially
sexually transmitted diseases. The questionnaires will also
inquire how many times they have been sexually abused or
harassed. It will also inquire on whether they reported the case
to the police and the actions which were taken if they reported
to the police. Understanding the cases of sexual abuse and
harassment among homelessness youths in Tri-Cities will assist
in knowing the safety of the homeless youths and this will
include both females and males. The questionnaire will also
entail details on whether the homeless youths have whereabouts
of their family members especially those living in the streets
and whether they wish to be reunited with their families. The
research method that will be used in the study such as
interview, questionnaires and focused group discussion will
include all the participants who had been selected randomly.
Budget, budget narrative, and sustainability plan
It includes all the cost which will be incurred in carrying the
whole project and ensuring that adequate data has been
gathered. The money will be used for the establishment of the
new centers that will be used in identification, tracking and
reporting on the issues of homelessness among youths. The
budget includes cost for researchers, equipment which will be
used in the process of data collection and construction of the
buildings. The total that will be incurred in the whole project is
$ 4,012,938 and the amount is expected to cover the whole
process in the Tri-Cities. The costs of consultation for the
whole project $ 2,750. The consultation will be done in the
three cities and it will involve all the relevant officials in the
cities (Robinson, 2016). The total amount which will be
required for the contracts is $ 3, 456,000. The contract cost for
building new houses for the homeless in the Tri-Cities will
include everything that is needed in the construction of the new
buildings as well as renovating the old ones. This includes
buying the materials which will be used, paying the contractors
and the labor that will be used in the process. The cost for
elevators, drainage system from the building areas, kitchenware,
27. painting, and water piping. The cost traveling will be $10, 000
in the course of the whole project and there will be $ 883 that
will be incurred for the travel fuels.
Some of the equipment which will be purchased to be used
in the Tri-Cities are safety equipment that will be utilized by
the staffs. Safety is very important for the workers and needs to
be given key consideration. It will also entail safety of the
researchers who will be attending the street homeless youths.
Computers, laptops, desktops, printers will be also be purchased
to be used in the office of the resources centers for reporting
homelessness issues related to youths. The cost will also be
$1000 and the expenses for the supply will be $3, 500. The
supplies for these items include printing papers, stationery,
files, and printers. Other expenses will include electric bills,
equipment that is used in the first aid, insurances and this will
be totaling $ 9, 000. Another cost will be incurred in the
payment of the staffs and researchers. There will be a project
manager who will ensure that all activities run accordingly in
the organization. The project will also be evaluated after it has
been completed and project evaluator will be paid for checking
whether the project has been completed according to the
standards and to the terms and conditions. The project director
will ensure that all activities during the project period are
carried out very well. The project coordinator will be paid
$9,822, clinic coordinator $7, 124 who will ensure that the
safety issues and health matters of the homeless youths in the
Tri-Cities have been well covered. Project evaluator will also
be paid $ 7,124 while the secretary will be paid $ 6, 978. They
will also be enumerated for sitting allowance when they will be
planning activities of the project. The project will take six
months and the planned budget will cover all those activities.

Conclusion
Homelessness is a challenge which is experienced by many
youths in Tri-Cities and needs to be addressed. The project will
address these problems which are faced by homeless youths in
Tri-Cities and come up with strategies of dealing with them.
Some of the problems include drug abuse, poor health and
nutrition, sexual abuse and harassment and depression. The
objectives and goals of the project will ensure that homeless
youths are provided with shelters, awareness is created on ways
of handling homeless state and ensuring that no one suffers due
to lack of housing. A resource center will also be identified for
identifying and reporting cases of homelessness. The data will
be collected using various participatory approaches such as
interview and focused group discussion. The individual who
will be participating will be randomly chosen and every
homelessness youth will have an equal chance of being chosen.
Questionnaire s will also be used in addressing personal data
especially on the age, causal factors to being homeless and how
they have sexually abused or harassed. The total budget of
which project will be $ 4,012,938 and it accommodates for all
activities which have been planned in the project.

Needs Statement:
The lack of an adolescent’s shelter to cater for lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transsexual [LGBT] adolescents has become an
underpinning problem which direly needs to be addressed with
the development of a shelter facility for these group. The shelter
also ought to incorporate programs that facilitate the
rehabilitation of these adolescents in the center and to mentor
them on the importance of education and career development.
33. This kind of project is dedicated to efforts that reduce social
inequality through demonstrable projects. There are various
factors that make this project a top priority, including the target
group being adolescents aged between thirteen and eighteen
years old, besides being a minority adolescents group that can
reform and complete their education and go to become more
productive in the society.
Moreover, housing is a basic human need and also a place one
can rest to reminisce on their personal life. Cochran, Stewart,
Ginzler, and Cauce (2012) argue that homeless bisexual,
lesbian, gay, transsexual, besides questioning adolescents’ aged
between thirteen and eighteen years old, face the lack of
housing access either because they are kicked out of their
parental homes, or they cannot comprehend the criticism by
their relatives and caregivers for their sexual orientation.
Following Durso and Gates (2012) the vulnerability of these
adolescents is further worsened as they are presented to brutal
street situations whereby they are high possibilities of being
assaulted physically, victimized, sexually assaulted, mugged,
and at worse being murdered. Besides, the freedom they have on
the streets has a high inclination towards compelling them to
indulge in other unsafe criminal activities, including, drug
abuse, robbery, and prostitution.
Keuroghlian, Shtasel, and Bassuk (2014) emphasize that by
bypassing such a conspicuous feature within the social work
system core principles, besides the strengths and needs of these
adolescents are far from being satisfactorily addressed.
Moreover, Tyler, Whitbeck, Hoyt, and Cauce (2004) pinpoint
that these adolescents represent characters from all different
genders and ethnicities. Hence, those who come from an ethnic
minority are even at a higher risk of being exposed to numerous
social ills, since they endeavor to even find acceptance within
their individual communities. These adolescents have twenty-
five percent suicide attempt rate as they encounter extra
pressures, barriers, and hurdles towards understanding and
acceptance. As a consequence, the project will be a timely one
34. towards addressing the problems being experienced by these
transgender adolescents.

The Four Models for Proposal Development
Alexis Lowe
October 2, 2019
Walden University
Individual Model
According to the text of Gitlin & Lyon (2014) only has ONE of
the defining characteristics that are a basic requirement of any
project which consists of a clear statement of goals,
37. expectations and procedures.
Unlike the other three model, the individual model is less viable
when it comes to large projects as it doesn’t have the necessary
components to involvement diversity in multiple areas of
expertise and experience in participating in more than one
organization preventing the individual from moving forward in
their project implementation.
The individual model is only effective in four situations such
as:
Small pilot grant offers under $50,000
When an experienced investigator who has a well developed
agenda is an expert in all aspects of the project
Advance a career through competition
Teach doctoral and postdoctoral students how to become
independent investigators to begin a research study
Consultative Model
An extension of the individual model, but in using this model
one develops a project idea and then asks for assistance from
other experts who can contribute their specific skills and
expertise
This model consists of six defining characteristics, yet the
investigator hired by the review panel must have an open
communication in order to effectively explain the project to the
consultant and the specific expectations for his or her work
This model is best suitable for individuals who have adequate
knowledge and skills to perform major activities, but they need
technical expertise in well-defined areas such as those in social
38. service and healthcare facilities.
Cooperative Model
Contains two types of cooperative models:
The initiator of the project defines the scope of involvement,
but decided to hire experts to work on particular areas of the
project in order to get it implemented
The initiator of the project defines the scope of involvement and
assign group activities for experts who have different or
sometimes similar expertise of the project.
It also contain an cooperative arrangement as is involves
multiple sites, institutions and laboratories to participate in a
project to a common end
Collaborative Model
This model is not an extension, but helps to build on the
cooperative model as it is built around working groups; each
individual in the group has to contribute to a task independently
to work on all aspect of the project (Gitlin & Lyon, 2014).
39. This model requires both individual and collective actions who
are mutually accountable to get the project done.
Members of the project have to reflect experts who work
together in order to build each other’s strength, backgrounds
and experiences.
Comparison of the (4) models for Proposal Development
According to the text of Gitlin & Lyon (2014) each of the four
models offer diverse approaches to developing a project idea
and grant writing. No model is superior or more effective than
the other, as one model doesn’t exclude the other.
Each model has the same first defining characteristics of clear
statement of foals, expectations and procedures.Yet, they all
have their own unique advantages and disadvantages to how
they will help us organize a grant proposal and get it
implemented then funded.
40. The Model for my Youth Community Homeless Shelter
The cooperative model relates closely to my program of
implementing a community youth homeless shelter. I have
knowledge that is useful to teachers, parents and those in the
community working with children who are experiencing
homelessness. Yet, I lack experience in the network to
disseminate materials with the community to prevent youth
homelessness.
The youth homeless shelter has the goal to decrease youth
homelessness and increase skills in youth that will allow them
to survive in this world by creating low-income housing, access
to affordable education and GED programs through means of
mentoring students, parent involvement and guidance through
counseling.

Part II: Budget Narrative and Sustainability Plan
The Budget Narrative
The total budget for the whole project that will involve the
construction of building from the ground and renovation of the
old ones is $4,012,938. This amount is expected to cover a total
of 25 sites corresponding to the tertiary institutions in this state
and shall be broken down as explained below. The leading
members of the project are the director, project coordinator,
secretary, academic coordinator, clinic coordinator, and project
evaluator. Most people are supposed to work full time because
the project is large and demanding.
Salaries for the people coordinating the whole process are
significantly large because of their qualifications and skills
which were a requirement for transparency, efficiency, and
competence that were needed to accomplish the project. Among
those working full time are project director, clinic coordinator,
project evaluator and project secretary who will be paid $9,822,
$7,587, $7,124 and $ 6,978 respectively. Per hour, each will be
paid $61.4, $47.42, $44.52, and $43.61 according to the
minimum wage requirement in their respective job group. Each
one of them will be working a maximum of 40 hours in a week,
and all of them will be reporting to the project director. The
whole project will take a whole year to complete the above-
mentioned salaries, and their benefits are monthly for the whole
year. In one month, salaries will be totaling to $41, 410 and the
benefits will be $2,074 which sums up to $43, 474. In a year
this will be $521,688. Project coordinator and academic
coordinator will be working part-time since they are the
employees of one of the tertiary institutions in the country
where they will still be serving for the most part of their time.
The cost of consultation is $2,750 for the whole year. It is
not possible to break it down into weeks since consultation will
be done once for every site that shall be open where about 25
sites are expected to open in the whole state that corresponds to
45. the number of tertiary institutions in this country.
For contracts, the whole amount needed is $3,456, 000 which
include all the subcontractors such those who will install
lighting and elevator, ventilation and air condition, drainage,
and water piping, doors, and kitchenware, painting, among
many others. Travel will cost around $10,000 for the whole
year where each month $833 will be spent on fuel for traveling
from one site to another attending meeting in the many sites.
Itemized equipment includes site safety equipment for staff,
office furniture, printers, and desktops in the office that will
cost around $10,000 the whole year. Supplies will only cost
$3500 for the whole year. Supplies will include printing papers,
ink for printers, files, and stationery for the whole year. Other
expenses are the insurance, electric bill, water bill, and first aid
equipment. They will cost approximately $9, 000 for the whole
year (Von, 2016).
The Sustainability Plan
There are two main ways in which my agency plans to continue
operating this particular program once the funding has run out.
The two main ways are external sources of funds and internal
sources of funds. The external sources of funds include seeking
more aids and grants from other donor agencies, government
funding, donations etc. Since the program will have been rolled
out successfully, it will be easy to get financial support from
other governmental and non-governmental organizations.
It is through the internal sources of finances that the project
will also be sustained. My agency will raise finances through
some revenue creating activities. For example some houses
which will have been built will be rented to the youth. The total
rent which will have been obtained will be used to sustain the
project. The agency will also seek financial help from well-
wisher through its website. Through these mentioned ways, the
agency will sustain the project in future.
