Galindo analyzes that the fundamental “mission” of a congregation is the same as any other congregation that exists in any part of the world. He argues that though every congregation has a mission and a vision, at the same time, it shares a basic common mission. (43) This reminds me of my home church The First Church of Evanston and my Field Site, The Evanston Vineyard Church. Both churches have a common mission of welcoming people to the church, irrespective of their ethnic, cultural, racial, and economic and, gender backgrounds. The mission is to help people be received in the house of God with due and deserved Christian love so that they feel loved and welcomed. Both these churches encourage church attendees to attend the service and receive the Eucharist.
According to the 2010 Plan for the Future of the New York City Family Court, the main goal of family court relies on ensuring “the highest standard of justice for each and every litigant who enters the courthouse” (2010). This is done by executing a sequence of processes and by providing different resources to individuals involved in the case. There are three major organizations that serve an important role in Family Court. These organizations ensure justice for individuals entering the family court system by providing a variety of different services. These organizations include the Administration for Children’s Services, the Legal Aid Society and the Panel of 18b Attorneys. Each of the three organizations mentioned, work to ensure the welfare of children and service to families by providing a variety of different services.
The goal is to help individuals gain and keep permanent housing. In addition, it will also offer an In-House Recovery Program, which is dedicated to helping free individuals from substance abuse.

They gain access to programs and services after they get settled in, such as rehabilitation programs, on the job training, and a social worker assigned specifically to them. These programs and services are completely voluntary and by no means required by the resident. “Through housing-first, Utah reduced its chronically-homeless population 72 percent between 2005 and 2014.” (Semuels) This statistic shows that housing-first would be a very fast and effective solution to the United States’ homelessness problem. Another way the US could cut down on homeless people is to require developers to provide both permanent supportive housing and low-income housing in their buildings. This is a solution because homes can be made available to a larger part of the population. This kind of mixed-use housing helps create communities made up of different individuals who in turn look out for one another, for example, “in one building in Harlem, single moms living in affordable housing helped out the ex-cons living in supportive housing, and vice versa.” (Semuels)
Our mission: is to eliminate youth homelessness in the Riverside area and to provide them with the education and resources to reach their full potential as caring, responsible, citizens.
South Metro Human Services is a community center is a non profit organization in Saint Paul Minnesota that has been established since 1987 but was founded a year earlier. (South Metro Human Services, 2015). This agency assists with treatment centers, job readiness, mental health counseling for children and adults, DBT(Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CADI waiver program for adults and children.

They bring homeless veterans in and help them fight these issues until they are stable again, but there is a point when the veterans need to move into another place, as the centers need to make room for
The Transitional Living Program was designed to promote a transition for these clients to self sufficient living and prevent long-term dependency on social services. Another strength of this policy both micro and macro is that in 2008 when changes were occurring to the preliminaries of the act, the length of stay was increased in the shelters from 14-21 days and in the Transitional Housing Program from 18-21 months. This amount of time stated in the RHYA for an individual’s stay originally worried me only because what if the client’s needs were not met by this deadline what happens next? On the macro level this extension of time gives the agencies more time for implementation of services and programs. Agencies must try there hardest to not turn away any clients, because it could possibly come across as discrimination. It was rewarding to learn that these agencies are well equipped with information and techniques for the various people inquiring about services. As the National Alliance to End Homelessness states the United States served over 500,000 homeless youth in 2005. But the Department of Human Health Services reported that 2,500 people were turned away from agencies and shelters due to the lack of bed space. If I were a major stakeholder or beneficiary of this Act, I would be concerned that not all people in need are getting what they deserve. Although this number is relatively low compared to how many served this shows some changes
240.) The HUD-VA is one of the main programs that have expanded over the years that have supportive housing to end homeless population among the veterans (Tsai, Rosenheck, & Kane, 2014). This program subsidized the rent and gives vouches for the veterans with the help of a case management staff member from the VA. Also, this programs helps with clinical outcomes with substance abuse. When they are accepted in this program they receive a caseworker to help them to set up goals to figure out certain programs to come up with a treatment plan or a plan of action to get them back on their own again (Tsai, Rosenheck, & Kane, 2014). The Grant and Per Diem program uses communities by funding them by offering transitional housing for two years. Over the two years the veteran will no longer be homeless but also will learn how to attain stability in their jobs, have a steady income, advance skills, receive treatments for mental and addictive disorders, and to be have to integrate from being in the service to civilian life (Tsai, 2013). The third program that helps homeless veterans is The Healthcare for Re-Entry it helps incarcerated
In regards to SAHP collaborations within the homeless care arena include the Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County, the Presbyterian Night Shelter, the Salvation Army, and the Day Resource Center. The above collaborators currently offer day-to-day temporary shelter and providing more basic and immediate needs, a continuous source of clients, and begin the process of self-sufficiency for the clients. The SAHP agency offers purposeful transitional housing designed to continue what these shelters initiated. Through more intensive individualized case management and more demanding financial literacy, the SAHP agency seeks to complete the efforts of these other shelters and collectively work to end chronic homelessness in the Lancaster
Urban Ministries of Wake County’s mission statement is “advocating for those affected by poverty.” In this case, they are aligning with their mission. For about 35 years, they have met the critical needs for their community and each year they have to serve more than 27,000 low-income of Wake County residents. They have been helping the community by providing basic needs such as food, medicine and shelter. Furthermore, they help clients to build a higher quality of life.
Once the application has been approved and the client’s landlord is willing to work with the agency, a case manager sets up an appointment with a client to go over release of information, do a consumer intake form, and talk about their barriers to
To begin with, it is important to start with the fact that more than half a million people in the United States are homeless and forced to live on the streets and either sleep in an unsheltered location, or at a housing project (emergency shelters, short-term transitional housing, or safe havens). Moreover, according to a Social Solutions’ article (2016), 15% of the homeless population are individuals who have experienced homelessness for a period longer than a year (chronic homelessness). It is because of those facts about homelessness that I had decided to volunteer at a faith-based temporary overnight shelter and subsequently record my experiences and what I observed during my visit.
