This presentation was developed to share an overview of By the River, a non-profit agency that provides innovative affordable housing solutions for seniors and training and support programs for caregivers.
The document discusses homelessness in the Midlands region and efforts to address it through the Midlands Housing Alliance. It notes that homelessness costs the community significant funds for services like hospitals, jails, and cleanups. The Alliance provides day services to over 100 people and housing/support services to 214 through an operating budget of $2.6 million from various government and nonprofit sources. Its goal is to empower homeless individuals and help their transition to permanent housing and self-reliance beyond just emergency needs by focusing on the root causes of homelessness and each person's recovery plan.
Hearth, Inc. is a nonprofit organization focused on ending elder homelessness. It operates housing and services programs for older adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Hearth partners with social service agencies and provides supportive housing, which combines affordable housing with health and social services. Supportive housing models have proven successful in helping vulnerable populations live stable lives. As the Massachusetts population ages over the next 20 years, issues like poverty, lack of affordable housing, and high living costs will continue to impact many older residents without adequate retirement or social security income. Hearth addresses these challenges through developing affordable housing communities that integrate services to support residents' well-being.
UWSJC Final Campaign Press Release-Kelsey SmithKelsey Smith
The United Way of St. Joseph County raised a total of $3,032,615 for their 2010-2011 annual campaign, short of their $3.35 million goal. Nearly $37 million has been raised over the past 10 years. 98.5 cents of every donated dollar remained local to support programs for nearly 80,000 residents. The campaign also leveraged a $370,000 grant to fund education programs including tuition assistance for at-risk kindergarten students and a new career academy high school.
This document explores the feasibility of establishing affordable housing cooperatives in Milwaukee for low and moderate income residents. Key findings from a preliminary market analysis show that median income in Milwaukee County fell by 10.3% from 2005 to 2014. Over half of occupied homes in the city of Milwaukee are renter-occupied. The document recommends that affordable housing cooperatives cater to families overburdened by housing costs, especially women of color with children. Locating cooperatives in areas with economic need for subsidized housing could help address Milwaukee's shortage of affordable options.
Rural Vermonters often lack access to reliable transportation, making it difficult to access healthcare, employment, and other essential services. This document proposes developing next generation mobility and access solutions to meet the common transportation needs in rural communities through cross-cutting collaboration between organizations focused on energy, equity, economy, and entrepreneurship. New shared transportation models could help address healthcare access issues faced by rural residents like Sierra, who struggled to reliably get to medical appointments due to lack of transportation options.

Household Water Security in Metropolitan Detroit: Measuring the Affordability...Tony G. Reames
This document summarizes a study on water affordability for low-income residents in the Detroit metropolitan region. The study found that water is unaffordable for many, with average households paying 10% of their income on water bills compared to the recommended 4.5%. Lower income households pay over 13% of income on water. Assistance programs help but do not fully close the affordability gap of $45.08 per month. Many residents cut back on other essentials to pay water bills and have accumulated debt. The conclusions are that water is a regional affordability issue, assistance does not reach all in need, and affordability gaps remain even for those receiving assistance.

Investigating City Commitments to 100% Renewable EnergyTony G. Reames
A number of United States (U.S.) cities are proposing and implementing bold sustainable solutions in order to combat
the social, environmental, and economic impacts of climate change. Cities of all sizes around the country are taking
control by pledging to reach community-wide goals of 100% renewable energy. However, many of these cities are
unsure of how to meet these commitments. Although the renewable energy potential throughout the U.S. is strong,
cities are facing other types of challenges that are hindering their ability to progress swiftly to meet the commitment.
Transfers to older people in developing countries can reduce poverty and support economic growth. As populations age in developing nations, social pensions that provide monthly cash transfers to elderly citizens can help support households and communities. Evidence from countries implementing social pension programs like Lesotho, Bolivia, and Bangladesh show they reduce poverty among older people and their families, encourage local production and trade, and only require about 1% of GDP to finance. Well-designed social pensions have potential to both aid vulnerable elderly populations and contribute to economic development in poor communities.
This document discusses the Hearth Outreach Program, which aims to end homelessness among elders in Boston. It notes that homelessness has increased significantly among elders, with 1 in 5 elders in Boston living below the poverty line. The program focuses on connecting homeless elders to housing and support services over 14-24 months. This includes helping elders search for housing, obtain necessary social services, and stabilize once housed. The program has successfully housed and assisted over 1,000 and 3,000 elders, respectively, with over 96% maintaining housing for over a year. The program aims to expand to serve 350-400 elders annually while maintaining quality. It requests $370,000 over two years to achieve these goals.
This document summarizes efforts to end homelessness in the Fairfax-Falls Church community. It establishes that homelessness is a real problem, outlines collaborative efforts between 18 organizations to collect and report data on homelessness using a Homeless Management Information System, and discusses new initiatives to enhance the homeless services system such as Housing Opportunities Support Teams and a Housing Locator Network. It also highlights the challenge of limited funding for programs to prevent and rapidly rehouse the homeless and calls for citizens to help raise $1 million for an Ending Homelessness Partnership Fund through donations of money, time, and talents.

CASB launched a campaign making elimination of the negative factor its top priority. School board members lobbied legislators, sharing how funding cuts have impacted schools. Their presence at the state capitol increased, and a catchy song about the negative factor went viral. While progress was made with $110 million restored, it fell short of the goal, and CASB remains committed to gaining more funding and fewer mandates.
Three changes in Japan's civil society since 2011: 1) Government response to disaster increased role of civil groups. 2) Level of household donations doubled from 2,625 yen to 6,579 yen per year on average. 3) New tax code provides tax credits up to 50% for donations to support non-profit organizations, helping the sector grow from emerging to established.

「自助互助式會員網絡,在地安老沒煩惱」--創新服務模式開發:美國Beacon Hill Village執行董事Laura Connors
The keynote presentation delivered by Ms. Laura Connors, Executive Director of Beacon Hill Village at the International Forum, Aging Innovation Week on Nov. 17, 2014. Taipei, Taiwan
Cities are becoming the most prominent context for social change in the world today, and they offer exciting opportunities for participative governance. A model of “systematic civic stewardship” frames the city as community-based, action-learning system. Leaders play key roles in neighborhood teams focused on local challenges (graduation rates, health outcomes, etc.), while learning and working with peers via city-wide communities of practice. We have much to learn about learning systems in any context—understanding how they work in communities and cities draws on organization experience and provokes new insights.
The aging baby boomer generation will place significant strain on elder services over the next 20 years. Currently, a large working population supports a small elderly population, but this will reverse as boomers age. Fewer caregivers and more elders needing support will constrain resources for elder services. However, advances in medicine and technology may help elders remain independent with fewer resources. Innovation will be needed to meet the coming challenges facing elder services.
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, models, and government policies to address it. It outlines how Campus Compact VISTAs can help build individual and community assets to enhance opportunities and reduce poverty. Causes mentioned include shifts in the economy, predatory lending, lack of affordable housing, limited education, low wages, income inequality, and lack of healthcare. Models of poverty discussed are absolute, relative, and situational/generational poverty. The document suggests VISTAs can support asset development through initiatives like financial literacy programs, tax preparation assistance, and education support.
The document discusses a replacement levy on the ballot in Montgomery County, Ohio to fund human services programs. If passed, the levy would replace an expiring levy and generate $61 million annually for critical services like child protective services, services for the developmentally disabled, home care for seniors, substance abuse treatment, and job assistance programs. Without the levy, the county would lose almost half of its funding for health and human services and be forced to cut many vital programs during a time of increased demand. The levy costs the average homeowner $1.30 per month.
This document summarizes data from a community needs assessment of 14 communities in Western Wayne County. It finds that since 2000, median income has fallen 27%, unemployment has risen to 16%, and poverty rates have increased. Many families face obstacles like a lack of financial resources, parental stress, unstable housing, poor performing school systems, lack of transportation and access to services. To address these challenges, service delivery needs flexible family support, advocacy to access resources, and cross-system collaboration. Long-term solutions require public policy and advocacy to reduce barriers facing low-income families.
3.3 Emergency Housing Solutions for Runaway and Homeless Youth
Speaker: Debbie Powell
When young people run away from home or are thrown out, they need a safe place to stay in order to work on reunifying with family or finding housing. Youth shelters, often called basic centers, are those safe places. Basic centers play a key role in keeping youth away from dangers they would face on the streets or in the home of a stranger and help to facilitate a return to family or other permanent housing placement. This workshop will focus on best practice.

A Conversation with the Directors of Four Area Agencies on AgingAging NY
The document provides an overview of a meeting between directors of four Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Laura Cameron, Executive Director of the New York State Association of Area Agencies on Aging. The meeting discussed the aging services network, including programs run by AAAs that help over 500,000 seniors in New York State remain independent through services like meals, transportation, and caregiver support. AAAs help delay or prevent nursing home placements, providing a more cost-effective alternative to institutional care.
Mercy Housing Lakefront provides affordable housing and supportive services to over 5,000 low-income residents. Their programs help residents maintain stable housing, improve health outcomes, excel in school, and achieve greater financial stability. Despite challenges like extremely low incomes, mental health issues, and addiction, 90% of residents successfully maintain housing annually. Supportive services connect residents to healthcare, counseling, and community events to create a supportive network. Affordable housing acts as a foundation for improved individual outcomes and changed lives.
The document summarizes a partnership between Hearth and the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) to address the issue of elder homelessness through a national leadership initiative. The initiative aims to further national dialogue on elder homelessness, create an advisory committee to shape policy recommendations, develop a policy paper with goals and strategies, and convene officials and organizations. It outlines Hearth's supportive housing model and outcomes for residents, including improved health, life satisfaction, and lower costs compared to alternatives like shelters or institutions.
Fostering-Change-Opportunities-in-Transition-Report-SummaryAllison Nelson
This summary provides an overview of a report that analyzes the economic costs and opportunities of investing in supports for youth aging out of foster care in British Columbia.
The report finds that educational, economic, social and wellness outcomes are poor for many youth exiting foster care. It estimates total annual costs of $222-268 million associated with these adverse outcomes. Costs stem from lower educational attainment, poverty, and poor mental health. The report also finds that a basic package of increased supports for housing, education, and social support costing $99,000 per youth could significantly improve outcomes and save tens of millions annually. Improving supports for youth aging out of care could reduce government costs while improving lives.

The document summarizes the transformation of East Lake Meadows, a neighborhood in Atlanta plagued by poverty, crime, and failing schools, into a thriving mixed-income community through the East Lake Initiative. Key aspects of the initiative included replacing public housing with mixed-income housing, implementing a cradle-to-college education pipeline including a high-performing charter school, promoting community wellness, and establishing a nonprofit to coordinate programs. The initiative served as a model for Purpose Built Communities, which aims to replicate this comprehensive approach across the US to revitalize neighborhoods of concentrated poverty.
Breast cancer :Receptor (ER/PR/HER2 NEU) Discordance.pptxDr. Sumit KUMAR
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.

CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects
Understanding Atherosclerosis Causes, Symptoms, Complications, and Preventionrealmbeats0
Definition: Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaques, which are made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, in the walls of arteries. Over time, these plaques harden and narrow the arteries, restricting blood flow.
