Ethic case analysis
The document discusses the challenges facing the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). It notes high turnover in management, a backlog of investigations, and issues with placement assessments. This has led to instability and an inability to address long-standing problems or implement strategic plans. The case involves "Tina", an 18-year-old aging out of foster care after many placements. Her social worker, Ms. Brown, faces an ethical dilemma in terminating services as required but knowing Tina is unprepared. The alternatives are to not terminate and violate policy, terminate but request benefits under AB 12, terminate with supportive transition assistance, or terminate with the consequences unclear. Choosing supportive transition assistance respects Tina's autonomy

Driving Up Inspections Standards
CQC inspectors will focus on how support is provided for people with learning disabilities labeled as having complex needs. The document outlines the background and credentials of the lead inspector. It then details the agenda for the day-long workshop, which will examine attributes rather than deficits, what people and families want versus what they usually receive, and using citizenship as a framework for provision and inspection. The workshop will involve a group exercise applying the "keys" of citizenship (purpose, freedom, etc.) to understand good practice.
Problems of well being, Bullying
Bullying causes serious physical, emotional, and social harm in both children and adults. It can lead to depression, anxiety, poor school performance, substance abuse, and even criminal behavior or suicide. Bullying violates human rights and healthy development. It is important to identify and support both bullies and victims early to promote positive relationships. Adults must work to prevent and address bullying through education, encouraging children to speak up, and creating safe environments where all children feel included.
NAMI presentation
Group 1 conducted a consumer market research project on mental illness in the San Gabriel Valley. Their survey of 36 residents found that 87% were Asian. Most believed there is a stigma around mental illness and would seek help first from doctors or counselors rather than friends or family. They recommend that NAMI concentrate efforts on teenagers, provide resources in Asian languages, modernize communications, and involve celebrities to raise awareness.
Juvenile corrections pp week 14
Aftercare programs aim to help youth transitioning from juvenile corrections back into their communities by providing services and supervision. Challenges include lack of support systems, resources, and continuity of care. Effective aftercare requires assessing individual needs, intensive treatment services, and coordination between corrections and community organizations, though many jurisdictions are lacking in these areas. More research is still needed to determine best practices for aftercare, especially for female and minority youth.

Neighborhood watch programs provide useful information from law enforcement to residents to heighten awareness of crimes. They require close working relationships between neighbors to build cohesiveness and a sense of responsibility for each other. Neighborhood watch members rely on local police for information and education, which helps build closer relationships between community members and police to reduce crime.
The Trevor Project
The Trevor Project was founded to prevent suicide among LGBTQ youth through providing crisis intervention and educational resources. It operates a 24/7 suicide prevention hotline and online chat, and provides education to help people assist those considering suicide. The need is great, as LGBTQ youth are much more likely to attempt or commit suicide than their heterosexual peers, often due to bullying or feeling unsafe. The Trevor Project aims to promote mental wellness and provide alternative solutions to suicide.

Winton Woods Middle School- Child Abuse (Understanding the Problem)
The document proposes a policy called "Live Safe" to address child abuse. The policy has three parts: 1) requiring a mental health check before parents can take a baby home from the hospital; 2) mandating in-home checks every other month for those convicted of abuse; and 3) requiring abused children and abusers to attend therapy programs. The policy aims to prevent abuse, help abusers address underlying issues, and support abused children. It is argued the policy could help end abuse by identifying and treating mental health problems, ensuring children's safety, and getting help for families and children. While some may resist aspects of the policy, similar checks and programs already exist, and the policy aims to protect welfare, which governments are

This document discusses assessment, targeting, and prioritization strategies for allocating limited housing resources for homeless populations. It begins by outlining factors that should be considered in assessing individual and family needs, such as demographics, income, health history and barriers to housing. It then discusses tools for prioritizing based on vulnerability and risk of long-term homelessness. Targeting strategies aim to effectively allocate resources based on needs and goals like reducing shelter stays and street homelessness. The document provides examples of coordinated assessment systems and data-driven approaches from different communities. It emphasizes the importance of coordination across systems, using evidence-based practices, and continually evaluating outcomes to improve local homelessness strategies.
4.8 John Fallons
- Supportive housing provides permanent affordable housing combined with flexible voluntary services to help people live stable lives and reduce cycling between homelessness, incarceration, hospitals and shelters.
- Research shows supportive housing reduces recidivism and costs to criminal justice systems while improving health outcomes for tenants. It is an effective approach for people leaving incarceration who often face homelessness and other challenges.
- The document advocates for investing in supportive housing as part of comprehensive reentry efforts to improve lives and more efficiently use public resources.
3.10 Amy Sawyer
The document summarizes Asheville, North Carolina's efforts to end homelessness through housing assistance programs. A committee of local agencies, homeless individuals, and government representatives developed a plan to provide short and long-term housing and services to the chronically homeless. Key aspects of the plan included the Housing First model, data collection, funding from the city and county, landlord engagement, and monthly partnership meetings to identify and assist the most vulnerable individuals. After several years of implementation, over 55 formerly chronically homeless individuals were housed through public or subsidized housing with a 90% retention rate, showing the success of the collaborative approach.

3.6 Learning Labs: Using Stakeholder Workgroups to Improve Community Interven...National Alliance to End Homelessness
This document summarizes two learning labs that discussed how communities in Cincinnati, OH and Fairfax County, VA utilized stakeholder workgroups to improve their responses to homelessness. The Cincinnati workshop described how they created a unified vision and were inclusive of all stakeholders to coordinate services and achieve system changes. Fairfax County implemented task groups with stakeholder involvement, ownership, and accountability to develop plans and protocols to prevent homelessness and increase housing options. Both communities saw decreases in rates of homelessness through data-driven and collaborative approaches.4.4: Closing the Front Door: Decreasing Homelessness through Succesful Diversion
4.4: Closing the Front Door: Decreasing Homelessness through Succesful DiversionNational Alliance to End Homelessness
Diversion aims to prevent homelessness by providing alternatives to shelter through services like temporary financial assistance, mediation, and case management. It is not a denial of services but rather connects families to housing resources before they enter the shelter system. Diversion improves outcomes by reducing new entries into homelessness, improves quality of life by avoiding stress of shelters, and conserves resources by preserving shelter beds for those most in need. It works best as the first option offered through coordinated entry systems and with flexible funding to provide short-term solutions like rental assistance or relocation costs. Key to diversion is creatively exploring all potential housing options through family, friends, previous landlords, or community services and developing a stabilization plan.About CSH
CSH's mission is to improve lives of vulnerable people through housing solutions that promote integrated public services, maximize resources, and build strong communities. They do this through training, policy reform, consulting, lending, and research to innovate supportive housing solutions that provide affordable, permanent and independent housing combined with voluntary tenant-centered support services. Supportive housing has been shown to help those facing complex challenges live with stability, autonomy and dignity while reducing costly service use.

Flexible funding and a survivor-centered approach focused on building relationships and meeting survivors where they are. Next steps include expanding the program and sharing lessons learned to replicate the model in other communities.

This document discusses homelessness, substance misuse, and recovery. It notes that for many experiencing homelessness and substance misuse, substance issues typically develop before homelessness. Shared housing models, partnerships between organizations, housing first approaches, and integrated health and social care budgets are presented as housing solutions that can support recovery. Developing "recovery capital" through social networks, activities, health, housing stability, and economic independence is highlighted as important for long-term recovery.

- The document discusses strategies for ending homelessness, with a focus on permanent supportive housing (PSH) models like Common Ground and Pathways to Housing.
- It also covers the Foyer approach for assisting homeless youth, which emphasizes education, skills development, and community connections through transitional housing.
- Key lessons highlighted include providing stable housing and support as soon as possible, with an emphasis on consumer choice, especially for young people.
2.7 A Review of Addiction and Substance Abuse Programs
The document summarizes Community Housing of Maine's (CHOM) supportive housing programs for individuals in recovery from substance abuse and experiencing homelessness. CHOM operates several transitional and permanent housing programs, including Howe Street and Nye Street for those dually diagnosed with mental illness and substance abuse, and The Landing Zone for homeless veterans. These programs provide housing and support services, and have seen high rates of sobriety and housing stability compared to national averages. CHOM employs strategies like group support, community connections, and flexibility to help residents achieve long-term recovery and independence. Interviews with current residents found that CHOM housing significantly increases stability, community engagement, and access to opportunities.
SHRC research paper
Long-term housing is more effective than short-term housing at reducing homelessness. Short-term housing often requires abstinence from drugs and alcohol or compliance with rules, but many homeless individuals with substance abuse problems or mental illness are unable to meet these requirements and end up back on the streets. Long-term housing in the form of the Housing First approach places individuals directly into permanent housing with no preconditions and then provides support services. Studies have found Housing First programs achieve housing retention rates of 80-90% over two years and significantly reduce homelessness in cities where implemented.
