Services, help, and resources are available in this county, but getting this vulnerable subset of the population to seek this help, are difficult.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>432 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Homeless-Population-Paper-E56C2B0F2A3FEDED">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/The-social-issue-of-homelessness-in-NC-F3ZCTFYVC" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay about The social issue of homelessness in NC</h2></a><ul><li>1229 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li><li>3 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/The-social-issue-of-homelessness-in-NC-F3ZCTFYVC" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay about The social issue of homelessness in NC</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">People drive or walk past a homeless person almost every day without thinking twice about the plight of that person or they may even unconsciously turn their heads the other way in disgust. Homelessness simply put, means without a home - therefore homelessness is an equal opportunity state that can happen to anyone. Even though we have seen some economic prosperity over the years, statistics show that the number of homeless remains very high. With this in mind, communities need to come together at the state, city, and individual level to come up with solutions to mitigate the spreading of this problem.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1229 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li><li>3 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/The-social-issue-of-homelessness-in-NC-F3ZCTFYVC">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay10"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Cherry-Health-Reflection-C041AA637622BB6D" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Cherry Health Reflection</h2></a><ul><li>643 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Cherry-Health-Reflection-C041AA637622BB6D" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Cherry Health Reflection</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">For instance, Belknap Commons Health Center, Heart of the City, Cherry Health, Burton Health center and Southside Health Center are a few of the locations that offer medical assistance. I think the services that are offered at the different locations align with the mission statement of Cherry Health. In addition, the services are relevant to the patients because many of the patients are seeking out treatment for a physical or mental illness which Cherry Health assist patients who need help with improving their health and wellness. I think other similarity between the agencies is the use of technology. For instance, I also notice that many of the locations that I visited such a as Leonard Street counseling use technology to document patients’ history. Documentation is helpful to learn in my internship because once I am in the field that will be important to keep track of patients and follow up with patients. As I go grow through the internship I will continue to discover different trends in services that can improve my future social work</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>643 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Cherry-Health-Reflection-C041AA637622BB6D">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay11"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/316-Support-Individuals-To-Access-And-U-FKHY56CVJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">316 Support Individuals To Access And U Essays</h2></a><ul><li>728 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/316-Support-Individuals-To-Access-And-U-FKHY56CVJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">316 Support Individuals To Access And U Essays</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Identify with an individual the resources, support and assistance required to access and use selected services and facilities</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>728 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/316-Support-Individuals-To-Access-And-U-FKHY56CVJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay12"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Tell-Them-Who-I-Am-By-Elliot-PJHZ5DHKR9T" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Tell Them Who I Am By Elliot Liebow</h2></a><ul><li>298 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Tell-Them-Who-I-Am-By-Elliot-PJHZ5DHKR9T" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Tell Them Who I Am By Elliot Liebow</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Homeless people are a vulnerable population in many respects that they always face discrimination and exclusion because of their housing condition.

In fact, many poor people face significant barriers to maintain stable housing because they don’t have accessibilities to increase their economic stability. Overall, there are significant factors that contribute to homelessness that many homeless people usually struggle with limited access to resources, lack of information about services, and lack of support systems.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>298 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Tell-Them-Who-I-Am-By-Elliot-PJHZ5DHKR9T">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay13"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Health-Issues-Among-The-Homeless-Population-FKABRATK6Y3Q" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Health Issues Among The Homeless Population</h2></a><ul><li>1450 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Health-Issues-Among-The-Homeless-Population-FKABRATK6Y3Q" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Health Issues Among The Homeless Population</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Throughout history there has always been a portion of society living in disadvantaged conditions.

I have worked with the homeless in the city of Philadelphia and from my experience more than half of those individuals have chosen that way of life. I have witnesses and spoken with family members of homeless individuals and the families said that they have begged for their loved one to come home but they choose not to. When I asked the homeless individual as to why they have chosen to live under the conditions of being homeless more than half stated that they have to “pay for nothing living this way”.

The Willow River Developmental Disabilities Center, Dennis Eikenberry stated, “Each time a concern of this nature was raised, it would quickly discounted, often because it would take too much time and effort (Page 163). A direct service agency is responsible for providing services of a given quality and dimension. The social service agency has the duty to deliver service accordance with generally recognized standards which reflect professional competence but some this standards are explicitly. Organization structural could be a barriers that posed by program policies that are determined by the program 's primary funding source.
