After reading this week’s posted content and listening to this week’s episode of the Fly on the Wall Project, carefully consider the following questions and choose one to answer in its entirety.
Each question may be answered by only 3 students. It is your responsibility to check all posts and select a question which has not already been answered by 3 of your peers. Please include the number of the question you are answering in the subject line of your post so the rest of the class may easily identify which questions have been answered.
Remember, you must have reviewed the week’s content in order to adequately participate in the Discussion Forum. In your post, incorporate the content into your response where applicable, and consider the principles of the Community Support System (CSS) model (e.g. flexibility; special needs, such as jail diversion; accountability; coordination) and the functions of Case Management (i.e. assessment, planning, linking, monitoring, evaluating) when posting your response.
Your initial response is due by end of the day Thursday 10/27/16.
Comments to at least two of your classmates due by end of the day Sunday 10/30/16.
- What else could LueAnn have done to assist Mick/Bianca with deciding to move? How does the fact that they didn’t pay their rent this month potentially impact their housing voucher?
- If they do decide to stay, what help can they possibly get for their utilities? What would be the criteria for these options (heat, electric, water, etc.)?
- Can George move to a new apartment with a Housing First Voucher? What does he need to do to make this happen? What, if any, restrictions are there on where he can move and how much the apartment costs?
- Based on the conversation that Derek had with Michela’s mother, what do you think would be the best housing option for Michela, and why? How might Michela’s substance abuse issues impact the decision of where to live?
