Homes for Families: A Miracle in the Making
A miracle in the making of finding more than a home which is a place of rest, a place of relaxation, a place of recreation, a place of relaxation, and a place of tranquility within the home; a home of serenity seems to be too good to be true as the times we are living in. As in previous writing ways to find funding for homes, how to find homes for infants, children, adolescents, and how to build a home from a life course perspective as working with the homeless, those who have plenty, and the less fortunate.
A miracle in the making of having a home without dysfunction, without abuse, without substance abuse, without arguments, and without divorce would be a miracle. A home filled with love, compassion, understanding, long-suffering, and a gentle meek spirit in which to come home to after a long day’s work, and a family that still sits at the dinner table and gives grace before their meal. A home of stability, edification, respect, and a home where others are more concerned of giving to one another than receiving from one another. Taking selfishness out of the big picture so that all could shine as each member works on bringing out the best in one another where togetherness exists. A home where a family emotionally connects with one another, supports one another, and completely trusts one another. A home where the stated above is the foundation of a strong home so that when the trials and tribulations come and the stormy winds begin to blow and all hell seems to break loose unexpectedly; the family is still intact, solid, bending, but not broken as they ride the waves of a rough and rocky storm as the waves get rougher and higher as the tide moves in. It seems to be that the storms of life never cease, yet it is how we ride the rough waves of life that determines our success.
The life structure of a family’s daily behaviors is part of a person’s character, and the developmental stages within the life course perspective linked to that of Erickson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development which are critical in the early stages of life. As well as the importance of the spiritual development within the home and becoming culturally sensitive within the home of understanding different cultures and seeing passed the isms as a family becomes culturally sensitive to the needs of other ethnic backgrounds within the community and society at large.
As the wife is the reflection of her husband and when a wife is happy and looks her best it is a reflection of the husband that he is doing something right. The husband has the ability to enhance her self-confidence, and the wife increases the husband’s confidence with much respect is shown. However, the self-worth, and self-value of a man and a woman affects the child or children growing up. The child or children must know who he or she is, and that identity is not in what a person wears drives, lives, or works. As those are very important and one should take pride in those which present an image, but to not get caught up in the materialistic image; however, to be more concerned with the non-materialistic upon which a true foundation is built instead of a superficial foundation. Two of the most important things upon which a home are built are respect and trust as respect must come before trust. A miracle in the making of building a home that will last.

Homes for families: Funding
Homes for families: Funding
Is there really federal funding available for grants? That is exactly the question for those skeptic listeners. Many federal programs, agencies, non-profit organizations, millionaires, celebrities, and the extraordinary individual are awarded federal money regularly and reapply for the same grants on an annual basis or when needed. Even the wealthy apply for federal grants and are awarded grants for products, businesses, homes, renovation grants for persons sixty and over, and many more. There are millions of immigrants who arrive within the US and live the American dream and build a legacy of fortune for their families within this country. There are many who are awarded educational grants, yet never having seen one for Chiropractic school, however, there are many grants for nurses and other medical related fields depending upon the states where grants are available.
Most non-profit treatment facilities that are governed by board members run their facilities off of federally funded grants that are needed on a yearly basis. It is no wonder how many people are unaware of federally funded money because it sounds too good to be true to have a forgiveness loan and live in a home and not have to pay for it or something to that effect. It almost sounds like a get rich quick scheme when more than billions are awarded on a yearly basis for those in need of funding. On a different note, there are other creative ways to generate funding for homes with an entrepreneur approach in mind. Tax liens and tax deeds are mostly unheard of within small towns in the south. The laws vary from state to state and some beginner entrepreneurs’ may find a partner to invest with or may not. Nevertheless when investing in a tax lien there is a redemption period time frame of one year that the individual can redeem the mortgage by paying the back taxes on the home. If the individual pays back the taxes on the home the investor has grossed a higher percentage compared to a bank, or a money market account, or a CD within a bank. While a tax deed is where an individual can purchase a home, yet there is also redemption time period of when the owner can buy back the home depending on the laws of the state. It is unheard of but thousands invest in real estate as their full time job and is very realistic to buy four homes a year after the individual has done their homework or one can begin by flipping homes which people watch on TV regularly. However, each courthouse is different, and one must know how to research liens to make sure there are no other liens on the homes or that the home is not on an old corner lot. Why? Because an individual would not want the home to be where an old gas station was once located. It is important to research the home and know if the land is solid and research the land or some may want to have surveyed, yet not always necessary. However, every March on the steps of the County Courthouse auctions are held to buy homes that are public knowledge that anyone can place a bid. A beginning of a creative way of generating one’s own funding.
Most social workers want to know how to write grants to begin their own treatment program, run a group home, and begin their own social service agency. Learning how to write grants is an asset not only within social work, but to other professions, and to the person who wants to find homes for families, and the homeless. As written in an earlier blog there are not enough section eight homes, nor is there enough low income homes based on income within subdivisions. Receiving grants for section-eight homes is not to produce more poverty or to encourage poverty, but to provide safe affordable housing and to reduce the statistics of those who are homeless. So that talented people and deserving people will not continue to live on the streets, but to have a sense of security and pride in providing a home for their family. Who knows they may end up with a grant for zoning for urban development within the city for section eight homes or end up owning the section eight homes where he or she resides. It is an invaluable trait and skill to invest in learning about grants in order to serve others while empowering self as well as others through self-determination.
Empowering others is a way to empower one and those who work in a helping field such as social work or other related social services agencies one has an infinite opportunity to provide others with the knowledge of resources to better ones life that will ultimately change one’s lifestyle which is the objective of an assessment. Assessing a homeless person or assessing a person who lives in a shelter not only has an opportunity within the social worker’s company or a faith-based organization, or a business to offer a class within shelters on how to apply for jobs, section-eight homes, and to follow-up with the client weekly as outreach to see their progress and to further educate on budgeting and on how to apply for federally funded grants to purchase homes. A social service agency could not only assess and provide homes based on their income with the option to buy later.
How many nice homes do children live in that our within a group home setting or what about having rental homes for low-income persons who are homeless based on abuse such as women and children and other target populations, but nice homes in nice neighborhoods, and managed by a social service agency with staff, and a licensed clinical social worker who provides counseling for Medicaid, and to teach daily living skills, personal hygiene skills, and psychosocial educational groups that can be billed within Medicaid for the children within a whole subdivision, and have the pool house in the center of the gated neighborhood with the meetings held at different times for different populations, yet to be culturally sensitive to target populations the right zoning would be vital. The purpose of providing a different kind of environment for the homeless to affect the soul and spirit of an individual as they heal from past sexual, physical, mental, and emotional abuse in order to help change their paradigm for those who have experienced the cycle of homelessness or abuse.

Homes for Families: How to Work with the Homeless and the less Fortunate
Homes for Families: How to Work with the Homeless and the less Fortunate
Ever wandered what it would be like to work with the homeless? Ever wandered what it was like to work in a soup kitchen, volunteer at a homeless shelter, volunteer at a shelter with abused and mistreated children? Ever wonder what it feels like to be homeless, not have any money, not have access to hot water, a shower or a warm bed to sleep in? Those are probably some questions that many people do not think. Maybe individuals would be surprised at how many people think of those who are homeless and less fortunate.
As social work can be perceived as humanitarian work and other professions that partner with united way, businesses’, or donors’ that help nonprofit organizations that provide monies to agencies within the communities who can assist with the less fortunate and with the homeless. Many organizations come together within communities during the holidays to serve thousands and millions across the nation to serve the homeless a hot home cooked meal on Thanksgiving and even on Christmas. It is a very rewarding experience to be a part of a community project where persons of many different professions roll their sleeves up, put their aprons on, and prepare the meal. As they prepare for many days before, the food is bought, preparation for the food is made, and the meal begins to be cooked. As others corporately make arrangements to serve the many that will walk through the doors. The sacrifice made to be away from family on a day to serve others is a very rewarding experience. As the prayer is prayed before the meal is served and before the guest arrives on Thanksgiving it easily brings gratitude to the soul. It takes the mind off the troubles of the day and resets an individual’s focus on the importance of serving those less fortunate. Treating the homeless as guest and looking them in the eye and welcoming them with open arms, serving them, and smiling while serving does make a difference. Some do not ever have the privilege of being served, nor experience drive thru meals on the go. On a personal note, having had experienced many drive thru windows most employees hand the bag to an individual and some never make eye contact. If the employee does make eye contact they are already asking for the next order. The changes in the generations and the times we as individuals are living are many. So the importance of eye contact whether a person is homeless or not does speak for itself in that it signifies respect and portrays that the individual not only has the person’s undivided attention, but to express with action that they are the most important at the time of the conversation. It is the true spirit of Thanksgiving as we should be grateful and thankful always.
Ever wonder what it feels like for a child to not receive gifts at Christmas not even one gift. Many generations ago some only received an apple, orange, and a stick of peppermint. The attitude of gratitude was present without complaint. Many churches participate in giving shoe boxes at Christmas time for children. Ways to work with the less fortunate. Even a small shoe box makes a tremendous difference in the life of a child within the US and outside of the US. It is very exciting to give, partner, and bless others who are in need.
Another way to help a family in need is to supply a family a Turkey during the holidays, or take an elderly person a meal during the holidays or not during the holidays, provide a meal for a neighbor during the holidays, or buy someone groceries. If not feasible pick up food at a local community church program or food bank for someone in need. Provide appliances or clothes for someone’s house that burnt down. Ways to work in the homes of families and with the homeless or the less fortunate by taking the time out of the mundane routine daily schedule and seek out a soup kitchen, a shelter, or an organization that would welcome volunteers to experience something greater, something priceless, and see what it feels like to work with the homeless or within the homes of families who have experienced a hard time temporarily. There are endless ways to serve others in small humanitarian ways on a daily basis that is inspiring to one’s soul while experiencing a sense of joy and reward that comes from that kind of giving.

Homes for Families: From a Life Course Perspective
Homes for Families: From a Life Course Perspective
Families who are homeless or become homeless may find themselves to be angry can start over as they begin again by building a new life in a home within the life course perspective. The life course perspective of developing a home is not a new trend within social work practice. The human growth that takes place within a home is remarkable how the biological, psychological, social, historical, political, spiritual, and economic systems are developed within a home from the life course perspective. How a home helps to shape one’s life through the developmental stages of the human growth process that takes place within the walls of a home. Memories that are made within a home as parents embark on a new endeavor of having a home, buying a new home, or having a new home built. The atmosphere of a home can affect the lives of all persons within the family dynamics spiritually even the persons who have lived in a home prior to taking residence or ownership of the home. If a home has character, then a home can have spirituality to it by the spiritual beliefs that are represented by the dwellers of the home. As a spiritual atmosphere transcends throughout the home it carries into the lives of others who not only dwell within the home, but visit the home. Also the socioeconomic status of a home develops a financial atmosphere either secure or not secure, and the financial atmosphere within a home rest on and in the dwellers of the home. The atmospheres’ of a home are sensed by those who dwell in the home subconsciously, consciously, and by those who are guest within a home through entertainment, holidays, family reunions, and neighborhood block parities in which sense, feel, and experience the character of a home.
The surroundings of a home within and outside of a home also exemplify the meaning of a home through symbolism of more than a person’s taste, but of a person’s personality, and likes. The likes of a home change over the years as both the marriage of a father and mother grow closer together, and the children grow older. The biological, psychological, economic systems within a home and the social aspects of a home change due to real life experiences determine the shaping of a person’s paradigm.
The history of a home is significant to the homeowner and the community; however, when an individual is homeless the history of a home may be the last thing on their mind.

Finding Homes for Infants, Children, and Adolescents
Finding homes for infants, children, and adolescents who are homeless within the United States as well as other countries without parents or parents who have lost their parental rights have been placed within the foster care system early on in life find themselves waiting to be adopted after many foster placements longing and yearning for a home. How can finding homes for homeless infants, children, and adolescents are accomplished since foster homes are limited and more adoptive parents are needed? As it is the objective to stop the cycle of homelessness; it should also be the objective to find more homes through public service announcements, advertising, and marketing that more foster homes are needed and more adoptive parents are needed. Within every DHR, Department of Human Resources foster care parenting classes are held in order to become a foster parent. There are state adoptions, open adoptions, closed adoptions, and there are international adoptions. In some cases there are waiting lists for international adoptions. As there are millions of infants, children, and adolescents within the states and other countries that need safe and secure homes filled with love and respect as a child learns to trust, respect himself or herself, respect others, and to establish a strong identity and self-image that is part of the person-in environment. Finding homes for infants, children, and adolescents is a protective factor for families by providing homes through foster homes prior to adoption or not is more than just an opportunity. It is a responsibility entrusted in building, restoring, and establishing a life through means of providing a respectful, loving, nurturing, trusting environment that is a supportive home filled with love for infants to adolescents who have experienced abandonment and rejection. As you can imagine the impact and affects of abandonment and rejection within a person mentally and emotionally are critical within the life course perspective of an individual. The culture and environment of an infant, child, or adolescent impacts their survival as an adult. Children’s health and education are extremely impacted from homelessness.
As having researched the depth and magnitude that as homelessness is rooted from poverty initially. Even though homelessness has been found to be a repetitive cycle among families and with all populations it is imperative to stop the cycle of homelessness and to stop the cycle of abandonment and rejection within infants, children, and adolescents who are without homes by providing safe and secure homes for them within communities.
Once again, homelessness has struck families of all socioeconomic status and abandonment and rejection has struck many. As a loss of a home from a change in economic status that is grieving to the spirit and soul of a man or woman so is the spirit of abandonment and rejection grieving to a soul of an infant, child, or adolescent in realizing the importance of the value of a home and not just in dollar value, but the value of providing a safe and secure home for homeless infants, children and adolescents from the life course perspective.

Building Homes for Families with the Life Course Perspective
Building a home as in comparison to the life course perspective of understanding the different stages in life is imperative as the architect and engineer design and construct a home by laying a strong and solid foundation is just as important as the foundation of establishing a home for a family. Laying a foundation from a life course perspective begins with pregnancy, infancy, and toddlerhood. These years are so critical in that the developmental stages of a child’s life. It is extremely important that as a family Building Homes for families within the Life Course Perspective
builds a home that a child feel s safe, secure, loved, wanted, and accepted from the moment the child is taken home from the hospital.
The developmental stages are critical as the brain grows it affects all of the stages as the child approaches early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, and into young adulthood. The brain is the foundation of a life’s development as is the foundation of a home.
In building a home it takes much supplies and tools as the synapses are reduced which affects the building and growing of the brain as in comparison to building a home from the ground up. Building a home is more than walls, paint, nails, flooring, ceiling, sanding, blasting, concrete, etc. As those are the essential tools in building a home. The essential tools for building a home for families takes different tools in that as families which consist of two parent households or single parent households build a home parents provide an atmosphere, environment, that is conducive for the developmental stages of an expanded learning capacity which affects the sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operations stage, and the formal operations stage within a child’s life range from birth and forward. These stages include infancy, early childhood, and adolescence, and young adulthood as well as late adulthood years.
As parents take on the most significant role of stimulating a child’s development through touch. The human touch is powerful as a parent holds a child, and looks into the eyes of an infant in that if affects the development. The effects of play with children and with their parents are also the building tools within building a family. The structure of a home and the structure of a family have an incredible impact which has been proven that touching and holding infants affect their brain development and when an infant is not touched it impairs the development of the brain. As the child grows the physical development changes as a home changes when is being constructed. The building of a physical home and the building of a child’s life is recognizing and establishing the identity of a child as a physical house represents an identity. The identity of a child is established from the self-image, self-esteem, and self-worth as a home consists of a safe environment, with nutritious meals for the physical development of the child as is homes for families.

How anger in homeless families relate to the Upside of Anger
How anger within the homeless relates to the Upside of Anger
How anger within the homeless relates to the Upside of Anger is that the similarity within the homeless was also within the Wolfmeyers family in the film Upside of Anger. Anger is such a strong emotion that can produce extreme emotions that will kill a person on the inside causing the individual to become numb inside as in comparison to a homeless individual. Homelessness causes so many emotions and feelings from being abandoned, rejected due to crises some of which are not there fault. For example, a mother with more than one child who has been abused and leaves her husband for safety could be from any socioeconomic status finds herself in a homeless shelter that would be angry. There are many reasons that produce homelessness not just poverty as homeless people have not just come from a proven stricken environment.
Even though there are still ever growing statistics with men, women, veterans, adolescents, elderly, and single parents. A single parents including single men with children in which homelessness not only kills people it has numbing affects not only on the adult, but on the children as well. It is imperative that we as citizens of the United States of America not overlook the less fortunate, the hungry within our own country, but to acknowledge those who fought for our freedom and patriotism that our flag stands for and find themselves without jobs as they are either over qualified or under qualified. The over qualified and under qualified includes all populations and not just the Veterans, College graduates as well. Highly skilled and trained individuals who have fought for our country have found jobs and have been laid off with spouses and children to feed to have found themselves within a family crisis of medical bills
There similarity of anger within homelessness and the Wolfmeyer’s is that of anger. Homeless are homeless for many situations in and from every socioeconomic class and experience fear, hurt, humiliation, anger, resentment, ostracized, or may feel like a caste away. Feelings of a caste away as if they are not wanted, welcomed, or accepted as the hundreds of people who pass them by on the streets with in cities. Homeless people who do not look someone in the eye or have felt belittled and demeaned as their self-worth, self-value, and self-esteemed have been demised. How can a homeless person be compared to the Wolfmeyers is that when Terry Wolfmeyer thought her husband had left her for his assistant she to felt all the feelings and emotions that anger produces on the inside of a person’s soul. Anger a very powerful and destructive force to not only the soul, mind, demeanor of the person as well as one’s character. It is the very thing that can not only numb a person, but anger on the inside of a person can kill a person. Anger, loneliness, betrayal, hurt can be so deeply embedded in the minds of the homeless and a woman who has the impression that her husband had left her, but in reality he had been dead for years and out of her anger and her pride she never called. She assumed the worst the unspeakable, the most unforgivable sin as she allowed herself to grow with indifference within herself as it affected her family as society becomes indifferent with the homeless population. Society in differs the homeless for many reasons as they pass the man in the cardboard box daily. Do people ever stop to think if the homeless are angry or do we think they are just lazy individuals who do not want to work?
The Wolfmeyer family and the homeless relate with anger as Terry and her daughter’s were able to overcome their anger and stay together. Homeless families also stay together and can stop the cycle of homelessness as well as families within homes can stop the cycle of anger.
