Topic: Homelessness in San Francisco.

Your Final Project for this class is a Community Action Plan designed to alleviate or correct a public health issue in a chosen community. Your community can be your business, school, neighborhood, town or city of residence or birth, or county.

Your Community Action Plan will be a professional portfolio that includes a written report and a slide presentation.

Below are some useful sites where you can find examples of the elements of an action plan.

The final case study  should include four sections (Symptoms, Diagnosis, Cure, and Prevention).      Each section should be about 1 page in length. Your entire paper must be 5      pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages, which must be      included.

You must cite and      integrate at least 4 credible sources in each of the four sections of the      paper. You may use readings other than the textbook to meet this      requirement. The paper should be based on references to scholarly      materials (rather than on introductory textbooks, popular website      writings, or musings, for example) and should support your claims with      evidence.

List the key community      members or partners that you plan on contacting, with an explanation why      these individuals or organizations make sense as potential partners. Include      a special emphasis on either the demographics of the affected population      or the economic implications, depending on what Critical Thinking      assignment you completed for Week 5.

Include a realistic      timeline for your plan. Discuss the time needed for campaigning,      education, funding, building, and implementation. Use ideas created during      week 6 Critical Thinking Assignments, either the option for annotated      bibliography or that for the brainstorming draft feedback.

Final Instructions for Slide Presentation:

The slide presentation      describes the problem in your community and your action plan.

Your presentation must      be 10 slides in length, not counting the title and reference slides.

Your presentation must      be supported by at least 4 scholarly articles.

You may use PowerPoint.

The audience for this      presentation will be community members or organizations you wish to      educate about the public health issue and your proposed plan.

The purpose of this      slide presentation is to educate the audience about the issue. Keep in      mind that in real life you will have limited time to convince people of      the gravity of the situation and to come on board with their support, so      you want to be persuasive and get to the key points quickly and      effectively.
