There are many reasons that I have found in my research regarding the homelessness in Saint Louis. Mental illness and cost of housing were at the top of the list. Both of these factors play a large role in the constant increase of homelessness not only in Saint Louis, but all over America. I am going to find other states or even countries that are facing these same issues with homelessness and why they are rising to show that it is not just a small picture but a much larger problem that people are letting on. Providing the statistics for the other populations will show that not only is our homeless population still high so is everyone else’s. Making this an issue that
needs to be helped.
I will also be using the Annual homeless assessment report from 2023 to provide real updated information regarding families with children experiencing homelessness, individuals experiencing homelessness, young people experiencing homelessness, etc. This will show that while there are some possible decreases in homelessness there are also rising homelessness. If there are decreases in homelessness, we can then look at those populations and determine what they did to provide more stable housing for the people in their areas. The legal and ethical standards that I will apply to my process will be standard 11 which is where human service professionals have knowledge about their cultures and communities that they practice in. They are also aware of society and how it impacts the community, standard 15 which is where human service professionals identify client needs and assets, and then assist in planning and mobilizing to advocate for those needs, standard 16 which is where human service professionals advocate for social justice and seek to eliminate oppression, raising awareness to underserved populations in communities and with the legislative system. All studies with this subject must reflect the ethical principles above and provide proper assessment of the requirements of the community. I would also like to use an article where
people were interviewed regarding the reasoning for their homelessness. This will allow mean to really understand and get my own view before doing a possible interview with someone in the community who is in fact homeless or facing homelessness. I think this point of view would really help. For the policy development cycle portion of my topic, I think I would want to use the policies that our community already has in place so that we can really see what these policies do and cover before determining what we could use and or change in the future. As I stated earlier, my community is not the only one that struggles with homelessness so I may also look into other communities to determine and see how they benefited from what they have implemented.
