    Case Study Boston Homeless Care

    Problem Statement: Lyndia Downie, Director of Pine Street Inn in Boston, Ma., faced with ever decreasing budgetary constraints, is tasked with facilitating a paradigm shift in the future of operations within the Boston Homeless care industry.

    Homeless Veteran Monologue

    We cannot be more than three car lengths away. My eyes are drawn to him, they are fixed and I cannot pull away. It must be 80 degrees on this hot and hazy Saturday afternoon yet with ease and comfort he wears a green hooded army jacket that also appears to be lined. It is not dirty, but it is not necessarily clean either. It is old! That’s what it is, old. His dulled out brownish salt and pepper hair appears finger-combed away from his face. Surely his full beard provides some protection from the intensity of the sun. His skin is aged, tan and weathered yet his face remains expressionless as if injected with Botox. His back is protected with the shade cast by the shadow of the tree he is sitting under. The leaves of the tree prove to be as unreliable as the conditions of life as they allow rays of sunlight to enter here and there. The light breeze offers some relief as it offers a refreshing cool air and then drastically changes as if blowing segments of sun rays in our direction. As each car approaches, he gazes upward ever so…

    Coun 504 Cultural Immersion

    In my research thus far I have found there are many reasons why a veteran as well as anyone becomes homeless. Mostly they are economical, mental, physical (health wise) drug and alcohol abuses are the main reasons. Research studies indicate that in the veteran population younger veterans are becoming homeless, which was a great surprise to me. The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are causing many of these issues. Another group of homeless are the older veterans and their reasons are similar to the younger veterans, most of them have been out of the military for quite sometime but because of never getting any treatment when they were discharged they had a hard time adjusting to life after the military.…

    Social Ecological Model

    Veterans are built by stripping away prior worldviews to develop a common worldview among service members. This training can cause confusion among homeless veterans as they try to differentiate between their own beliefs and the beliefs they adopted in the service. In addition to the confusion between two worldviews, the attitudes and feelings of a homeless veteran are coupled with the attitudes and feelings brought about by mental and physical disabilities such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and traumatic brain injuries. According to Ungar (2013), social ecology is responsible for limiting or redeeming an individual’s choice regarding coping strategies that can result in either prosocial performance or obsessive adaptation (p. 256). For service providers, it is important to understand the social ecology of homeless veterans in order to define the interactions that lead to positive change and the interactions that have led to negative outcomes. For example, if a service provider identifies a homeless veteran’s negative outcomes is a direct result to a mental illness, the service provider may develop a strategic stability plan with the veteran to overcome that limiting mental interaction. While this intervention alone will not lead to housing stability in permanent supportive housing, it will set the foundation for other, equally effective interventions in the…

    Homelessness in the City of Richmond

    I am a current student at James Madison University and I am from the City of Richmond. Even though I am attending college in Harrisonburg, Virginia, I am still concerned about the things that go on in Richmond. While riding in a car or sometimes walking through the City of Richmond, I couldn’t help but notice the increase of homeless people. They are considered the lowest of the lows because their home is the streets and their clothes are unclean. They are treated as if they aren’t human, attacked and looked down upon as if they don’t have a right to happiness, monetary funds, material possessions, or a warm place to call their own. It’s evident they have taken over places that once were filled with beautiful scenery because they have nowhere to go. All in all, something has to be done with the increase rate of the homeless people occupying the City of Richmond.…

    Homelessness In Veterans Analysis

    Veterans are more likely than civilians to experience homelessness. They experience a distinct set of challenges, both during service and upon their return, which preset obstacles when trying to tackle veteran homelessness (NAEH, 2015). Compared to nonveterans, many veterans are considered at risk of homelessness because of poverty, lack of support from family and friends, substance use or mental health issues, precarious living conditions, and have a low socioeconomic status. They are also faced with a shortage of affordable housing options and stagnating wages. As a result of serving in the military, veterans are at a higher risk of experiencing traumatic brain injuries, sexual trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (NAEH, 2015).…

    Homeless Veterans Analysis

    Because veteran homelessness isn't a small issue. There were an estimated 49, 933 homeless veterans in the U.S. in 2014, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, which means about 8.6 percent of the country's homeless population are veterans. Many veterans become homeless because their service puts them at a higher risk for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which can lead to other disorders, substance abuse, difficulty maintaining jobs, and then, as a result, a lower socioeconomic status, according to the NAEH. Media and government representatives across the country have been asking Congress to do more to provide soldiers returning from overseas tours and veterans better access to mental health care, and the large homeless veteran population has been one of their strongest talking…
