COVID 19 and Homelessness

Description

*Sources Can be those that are used in the literature Review. I need to create a concrete thesis proposal based off the literature review previously created (I have attached it) I would like my thesis to be a topic and question based off this statement: There are three types of homelessness – chronic, transitional, and episodic. The reasons homelessness occurs amongst most families and individuals in inner cities range from lack affordable housing ,job loss, crime, substance abuse, mental illness, lack of education and extreme poverty; all of which were heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research shows this population is less likely to overcome the long term effects of Covid-19 due to pre-existing conditions ,overexposure, and the inability to access social services at a pre-pandemic rate. Most believed that the anticipated $1200 stimulus checks that we’re distributed to all Americans as a direct result of the pandemic would help alleviate the homelessness issue, however just as always it was a minor band aid on an issue that requires surgical stitches. ****Directions are as follows *** Thesis Proposal The thesis proposal is especially important, because it establishes the research question(s) and describes the conceptual framework of the paper and the methodology to be used in the study. Remember, we are looking for original research! See page 12 of the Manual for the requirements of the proposal. “The proposal should explain the question or problem to be investigated and convince the thesis professor that the question or problem merits investigation. It should show that the student has read the relevant and recent literature on the subject, and it should contain a list of academically appropriate resources consulted during the preliminary stages of research. In general, the thesis proposal should include background information related to the research topic, purpose of the research, methodology, and analytic procedures to be used.” Length of the proposal will not exceed five double-spaced pages, excluding references and quotations. Each submission must begin with a title page in the format referenced in the Capstone EOP Manual on page 52 . In selecting a capstone thesis, students may want to consider whether it contributes to their future professional growth and/or whether it could have a constructive effect on some aspect of public administration that is especially interesting to them. Students are expected to develop capstone proposals on their own, but the professor may be able to assist in considering alternatives. Topics should be neither so broad as to be unmanageable (for example, the organizational structure of the federal government) or so narrow as to be of value only to a few specialists (for example, the organizational structure of a small operating unit within a larger agency).   Don’t forget to note how it ties to the Public Administration program objectives. It does not have to relate to them all but should be related to several. They are:   * Assess the leading approaches to managing public organizations * Evaluate the moral, legal, and ethical aspects of decision-making in the public sector * Evaluate the government budgeting process and funding of government programs and organizations * Appraise the role of government organizations in public policy development and implementation * Develop solutions to a public issue that take into account multiple stakeholders and decision-makers * Implement the core concept of public service by providing evidence of service to the public or nonprofit sector * Critique a difficult political situation and offer creative and innovative solutions that take into account multiple stakeholders and decision-makers * Implement the core concept of public service by providing evidence of service to the public or nonprofit sector * Assess the part diversity, or lack thereof, plays in public administration
