Two main reasons contribute to why I would love to become a Housing Ambassador. To help get many prospective and current students excited and involved in campus housing is the first reason. So many people shoot down on campus housing because of the price; however, people do not realize housing is more than just a room you pay for. You live here, study here, and have fun here. There are many events, free stuff, and free food that residence halls and RSA provide for students. I want to be able to show students that off-campus students do not have the same experiences as on-campus students. The second reason I would like to become a Housing Ambassador is for the experience. Ultimately, I would like to become a dean or chancellor of a college in my golden years. Being an Housing Ambassador would provide me with life-long experiences that I could take into my future careers as a business leader, politician, and dean/ chancellor.

Unfortunately this process is not without obstacles and we are a long way off from reaching an ideal system. Lack of resources and funding may leave these clients for an indefinite amount of time in such a program. Supportive housing is growing more limited every day with the increasing homeless population in NYC. Clients with histories of substance abuse or with specific criminal backgrounds such as arson or sexual offenses are close to impossible to be placed. There is also a large number of undocumented clients who are not eligible to housing due to their status. These individuals do not have access to any benefits or entitlements, making it impossible to be placed in supportive housing. There are programs to help them go back to their home

for families who need assistance in entrenched support services and housing access. Why exactly would one want to invest government regulated taxes on one of these programs? Poverty rates in Adams County, Pennsylvania continually inflate since the 2009 "Point in Time" study. In 2014, surveys found that the poverty rate, when counting female head of households, rose up to 28.4%; comparable to the state wide’s poverty rate of 11.4%. (ACCESS Housing, 2016). Due to legal actions, the Department of Veterans Affairs has finally begun steadfast actions to build 1,200 supportive housing units. To sustain the transitional housing program, or even launch a program, a substantial amount of funding needs maintaining for bed and program support provisions. Due to the inflation of the homeless in the Adams County region, a transitional housing program needs regulating to aid those who necessitate a home, are trying to hold on to their home, or are in dire need of assistance with housing payments.

With a corrupt housing assistance not only comes the families who refuse to work because of their children, but come the people who have a steady income who keep it hush-hush so they can receive benefits from the government. Personally working at a real estate company I've met quite a few people who are abusing our housing assistance. People who resume working and benefitting from the government assistance is a mockery of what our country should stand for. These people opt themselves out of paying taxes or taking any responsibility for what they must provide for their own families. They use the government assistance simply because of greed. The more money for them the better, they do not care that there are people being rejected the same benefits who actually need it. This is

. If you are a family you are prioritized in the wait list simply because you have children. Anyone who has a child will have some sort of government assistance for the entirety of their childhood. America should not just be focusing on families simply because they have children. The focus should be on the handicapped or mentally disabled, not well working people who refuse not to work simply because they have a child.

First, I would like to say thank you for your interest in Cañon City and helping our community address a growing problem in our community in recent years – an increase in the homeless population. It has become a concern in our community. It has affected our parks, the downtown, some of our neighborhoods and law enforcement. It has had a major impact on the human service and non-profit organizations in our community. Cañon City already has one of the lowest median household incomes and higher median age populations in the state of Colorado. As a result, most of our human service and non-profit organizations are already stretched beyond their personnel and financial capacities. They have only limited resources to address the homeless issue.
