Surname 2Homelessness Case ManagementIntroduction The article records of the homelessness case among women in Monterey County and opens with the irony of existence of the case with no help despite the comfy and expensive nature of the majority of the dwellers in the region. The problem that remains under focus in the case refers to the homelessness case of women in Monterey that the author notes did not have a solution. According to the information presented, an estimated 350 women in the area live without a roof over their heads in Monterey County (Taylor par. 4). The situation calls for advocacy efforts towards finding a solution to the problem of homelessness facing the hundreds of women. The issue of homelessness has become rampant in many of the states within America. The situation forces individuals to spend their night outside in shelters and other in the streets with only a few clothing to cover them until dawn comes. A number of the individuals are subjected to the case as a result of lack of funds that are in most cases spent elsewhere or as a result of job loss (Abramovitz 22). The case provides a saddening trend prompted by the realization that the single women on the streets have least available resources and options to programs and services once they become homeless.The inability to afford housing stretches the issue thus equally limiting their ability to secure a number of programs and services essential for women.

As such, he engaged himself and others in advocacy program rallying around for a common goal to create a better place to handle the problem facing the women. The fund for the Homeless Women assisted in raising $250000 in three years towards support for program and services for women without shelter. There were places where food was offered while others provided shelter and overnight parking spaces for those living in cars. According to the case, the assistance provided care and thus became a real-time solution to the women. The women were accorded with health and other services that assisted them improve their homelessness state through meals and overnight lodges tailor-made for them. At the same time, the government services to the homeless had dwindled leaving the faith communities to cater for the needs (Taylor 4). As such, the assistance given by the faith-based programs went a long way towards assisting the homeless women in the County despite their insufficient nature. Opinion on Writer’s Perception or IdeasThe writer applauds the assistance and programs enacted by the faith-based groups owing to the fact that the government was no longer providing the services leaving over 350 women at risk of attacks, rape, and deteriorating health concerns. The severe cuts on government funding imperiled the homelessness program leading to reduced assistance and eventually a fall in the assistive program. The program initiated by the faith-based institution provides nightly
