Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have always been homeless people in the United States, but their plight has only recently stirred widespread public reaction and concern. Part of this new recognition stems from the problem's prevalence: the number of homeless individuals, while hard to pin down exactly, is rising. In light of this, Congress asked the Institute of Medicine to find out whether existing health care programs were ignoring the homeless or delivering care to them inefficiently. This book is the report prepared by a committee of experts who examined these problems through visits to city slums and impoverished rural areas, and through an analysis of papers written by leading scholars in the field.
Download or read book Public Response to Community Shelter Planning written by Paul Yarbrough and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigated responses made by adults in the City of Rochester and Olmsted County, Minnesota to a Community Shelter Plan (CSP) and to OCD booklet H-14, 'In Time of Emergency.' A total of 493 interviews were completed during the study. This included independent control samples before and after CSP as well as a panel of 97 persons interviewed at both time periods. The CSP plan allocated public fallout shelters to residents based on their place of residence. Attention was adequate. Seventy-four percent were aware of receiving CSP materials and half read some of either the CSP maps or booklet H-14. Comprehension was less adequate, however. Only half the readers (24 percent of the total population) could correctly identify the shelter which the plan assigned them. Attitudes formed toward the CSP program were extremely favorable, but little change in behavior resulted. A slight increase was observed in attitudes toward shelters. No net change in adoption of either home or public shelters was found although a number of individuals switched their positions. (Author).

This book was released on 1971 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigated responses made by adults in Des Moines, Iowa, to the Community Shelter Plan (CSP). A total of 938 interviews were completed during the study. This included adequate control samples before and after publication of CSP as well as panels. One panel was initiated before CSP, other were continued from the researchers' earlier Home Fallout Protection Survey study. The CSP message included a plan allocating public fallout shelters to residents based on place of residence. It was published in the form of a 12-page Sunday newspaper advertising supplement. Attention given the message was about average with similar supplements (slightly less than half of the total audience), but comprehension of the plan was low. Only seven percent of our control sample could recall the name or location of a shelter allocated for his use and only four percent could recall how they were instructed to travel to the shelter. Acceptance responses were low. A slight increase was observed in level of knowledge about a local civil defense program and in the anticipatory decision to concurrently adopt public or home shelter protection alternatives. The dispositional model did not hold well in predicting attention to CSP, but did hold in predicting comprehension and acceptance responses. (Author).

This book was released on 2018-08-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at an interfaith program for the homeless in New York City, including in-depth stories of those who have graduated and made new lives. In a metropolis like New York, homelessness can blend into the urban landscape. For Susan Greenfield, however, New York is the place where a community of resilient, remarkable individuals is yearning for a voice. Sacred Shelter follows the lives of thirteen formerly homeless people, all of whom have graduated from an interfaith life skills program for current and former homeless individuals in the city. Through interviews, these individuals share traumas from their youth, their experience with homelessness, and the healing they’ve discovered through community and faith. Edna Humphrey talks about losing her grandparents, father, and sister to illness, accident, and abuse. Lisa Sperber discusses her bipolar disorder and her whiteness. Dennis Barton speaks about his unconventional path to becoming a first-generation college student and his journey to reconnect with his family. The memoirists share stories about youth, family, jobs, and love. They describe their experiences with racism, mental illness, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Each of the thirteen storytellers honestly expresses his or her broken-heartedness and how finding community and faith gave them hope to carry on. Interspersed are reflections from program directors, clerics, mentors, and volunteers, including the cofounder of the program. While Sacred Shelter does not tackle the socioeconomic conditions and inequities that cause homelessness, it provides a voice for a demographic group that continues to suffer from systemic injustice and marginalization.
