The Centre worker position is funded by the State Government as part of a local neighbourhood revitalisation programme, and it is described as having a Community Development focus. The city council owns and maintains the Community Centre building. A volunteer community board of management oversees the operation of the Community Centre. You've been with this Community Centre for two (1) years. You've worked alongside members of the community, forming relationships, and gaining a comprehension of the problems that affect them. With the development of new suburbs, the region has seen an increase in the availability of affordable housing in recent years. Such development is accompanied by an increase in the number of migrant and refugee families resettling in the community. Flooding Situation - This community was affected by a flood disaster, and the Community Centre was converted into an emergency recovery centre. Residents who had been evacuated from their homes received emergency assistance from the Centre. The emergency phase is now over, and residents can return to their homes. Homes have been cleaned up, a damage assessment has been completed, and people are attempting to reassemble their lives and livelihoods. As support workers in this community centre, your job is to collaborate with other community stakeholders (those who are most impacted by the issue) to develop a responsive plan that reflects a community development approach and promotes a community-led response. Important Takeaways: You, other practitioners, and residents have heard and expressed several critical issues affecting community members during this period of disaster and recovery work.

All funds must be returned, and a full written report must be submitted at the end of the project, which includes several residents who have access to the project. 2- The Multicultural Development and Support Agency is a community service that assists migrant and refugee communities. The agency has provided the community centre with free professional interpreters as well as the services of three social workers from their case management resettlement team. 3- A local community artist who is trained in art therapy has offered the community centre their services for free. 4- A local Sunset Corporation Insurance Representative has offered to attend any meetings/events/functions held at the community centre to provide insurance assistance. Sunset Corporation Insurance has offered to provide catering at any event on the condition that Sunset Corporation Insurance can display its corporate signage and banners. questions How would you collaborate with people in the community who are impacted by this problem? 2-How would you decide whether or not to utilize the available external support and assistance given? 3- How would you shape a response using context, method, and strategy?
