The Delancey Street was established by Mimi Silbert and John Maher in 1971. It was a very small organization that started with only four residents. A 1000 dollar loan kept this plan alive financially. The goal was to change the lives of that people whom were poor, fighting drug addictions and/or needed a second chance in society. It was a positive contribution to mankind that changes the lives of many. It started with a small apartment in San Francisco. John Maher was an ex-felon and Mimi Silbert was educated with a doctorate in criminology. The idea was that everybody would “do their-part” and contribute to the foundation. For someone who could cook they would have the opportunity to become a head chef. If a person was good with building things, then they had the opportunity to become the “head of construction”. People were able to bring the gifts and talents together and create an organization that would enrich themselves as well as others. The first home was located in Pacific Heights a neighborhood in San Francisco. Mike Berger incorporated the organization in 1971 while; Dann...
“We organize and advocate to prevent and end homelessness, because we believe that housing is a human right in a just society.” They are similar to the national coalition for the homeless, but, of course, are focused locally, in Chicago. They run several programs and campaigns focusing mostly on community outreach and immediately helping those experiencing homelessness. They have a program that gives homeless legal education and assistance, and a re-entry program to help the recently unincarcerated find housing and jobs, as well as a general 'Jobs ' program, creating work for the homeless.
The street code is a very important concept when talking about the world of the inner city. In Anderson’s words, the code of the
The city of Denison was named in tribute of George Denison, who brought the city into being (“Ancestors and Descendants”). Main Street started off as a wide dusty road filled with horses and buggies that gathered in front of old wooden saloons and business buildings. People dressed in attire of the 1880’s and Main Street was buzzing with people (see attachment 1). While Main Street and the town of Denison became known as a city of hooligans, the later establishment of local government helped put the city into existence (McLeRoy). During the 1880’s Main Street had a few firsts happen. The Security building located on Main Street was the tallest buildings in Texas at the time of its creation, and the Educational Institute was the first free graded public school in Texas (“Denison Texas First”). From 1910 to 1940 many events took place in the downtown, and Denison's Main Street had several well-liked hangouts. A specifically noteworthy establishment was Tony's Palm Garden, one of the most in style hangouts on Main Street. Anthony Giarraputo Sr. was the ingenious owner of the Palm Garden. He made candies, pastries, and he owned one of the first soda fountains in Denison. On ...
The nonprofit sector in America is a reflection some of the foundational values that brought our nation into existence. Fundamentals, such as the idea that people can govern themselves and the belief that people should have the opportunity to make a difference by joining a like-minded group, have made America and its nonprofit sector what it is today. The American "civil society" is one that has been produced through generations of experiments with government policy, nonprofit organizations, private partnerships, and individuals who have asserted ideas and values. The future of the nonprofit sector will continue to be experimental in many ways. However, the increase of professional studies in nonprofit management and the greater expectation of its role in society is causing executives to look to more scientific methods of management.
The vicious cycle created by the code of streets that Elijah Anderson discusses is never ending. Anderson brings up many different factors in the cycle that keep it going, only inhancing crime. Every example the author brought up were actions used to gain respect in the streets. Kids are raised around the violence and are then encouraged by their parents to keep the cycle going. The kids are taught to defend themselves and always win the fight. They have to win fights, be violent and act tough to gain respect. Their accomplishments in violence hold their respect status in the streets. Learning to fight like this and continue the violence cycle then gives people on the streets low tolerance. They are easy to lash out. All of these examples

WHEN: They were founded in 1949, but the Hermens actually started the company in 1897
Years later Joseph Eichler founded Eichler Homes, Inc. in 1949, which pursued his wish to expose the world to the same kind of modern architecture as Wright did. Eichler, who had no experience with home building, was a developer, and not an architect, who aimed to create well thought-out, modern, and affordable homes that raised the architectural quality of mass-produced homes throughout California. Eichlers stood out to people because they were affordable in many ways. Due to the fact that he started building post-war, there were many veterans looking for homes. The veterans could take advantage of low-interest loans and were able to buy because it was only necessary to invest very little.
Throughout the article “The Code of the Streets,” Elijah Anderson explains the differences between “decent” and “street” people that can be applied to the approaches of social control, labeling, and social conflict theories when talking about the violence among inner cities due to cultural adaptations.
Initially, the organization was funded by a single donor who is credited as its founder, actor and producer Paul Walker. ...
SNCC came together in 1960, from an action of four college students that thought it was time for them to be served at a lunch counter. This movement sparked a flame in all college students. The committee was found on April 16 1960 in Raleigh North Carolina. Ella Baker the executive director of the SCLC, became one of the first leaders of the movement. When the SNCC first started out they discouraged the ideal of becoming an organization, they wanted to be a movement. The SNCC had some great movements, starting off with continuing the sit-ins.

I have decided to create a social program that identifies the social problem of Homelessness. The new human services, social program will target helping homeless individuals and families to get off the streets. In order to have a successful program I have to come up with an outline and cover all of the basics. This program will have many different resources available to homeless or about to be homeless individuals and families. There are so many homeless people out there and her in the state of Florida there are not many places for homeless people to turn to for comfort and safety. So I am truly excited to be creating this new program that will help many people to go forward and live wonderful and successful lives, no matter what they have been through. Throughout this paper I will be discussing some of the things that are needed in order to start an organization. This paper will serve as an outline or an information source on how to create a social program as well as the social program that I am creating.
