    Transitional housing seeks to provide a better gateway for people to regain their economic stability. Usually for a period of two years, these programs involve subsidized housing in specific transitional housing developments and a mix of other supportive services and case management. However, programs of this type frequently have an excessive number of qualifications which prevent many of the most at-risk demographics from receiving the help they need (16). The Housing First model evolved in response to transitional housing, and it states that the primary response to homelessness should be the provision of permanent housing as immediately as possible, and without excessive qualifications (7). Additionally, Housing First is based on research which demonstrates that social services such as job training and substance abuse programs are more effective if participants are…

    Change is an inevitable occurrence in organizations, yet its acceptability and management continues to be a serious challenge. While some people simply fear the unknown, others are adamant of change because it disrupts their comforts and routines (Ibarra & Hunter, 2007). The management of change is a vital process that ensures a seamless transition from the current to expected state. No change management strategy delivers value unless it is well implemented and executed (Kim & Mauborgne, 2005).

    While there are more than a few groups of people who experience homelessness in the United States and other parts of the world different ways, their homelessness is usually characterized by lack of stable housing coupled with extreme poverty (Henslin, 2013).

The first possible intervention that I would undertake…
