My first choice that I chose was Maple Street Shelter. They aroused to proved shelter for people around the Silicon Valley and San Francisco. It was started by two non-profit organizations such as InnVision the Way Home (founded 1973) and Shelter Network (founded 1987). This was a decision to help the local community in need by asking for donations and volunteer workers.
I believe that local governments did not fulfill this because of financial cost. To be able to house multiple people, feed them and give them guidelines is very costly. They feel that they help by having opportunities like welfare and free health care, which none of these results in a rood over their heads. When doing research on how they are funded I came across "IVSN is funded through a combination of foundations, corporations, individuals, federal, state, and city grants. Approximately 60% of our annual budget is publicly funded, and 40% is privately funded." This shows how much control is given through community perspectives. When it comes to federal policies much of it comes from the privacy and security of the families. They are referred to the shelter by hospital, police departments and agencies that are fund ended federally. This controls the types of families that are allowed to know about this wonderful opportunity.
