new project "Homeward Bound"

and I'm not talking the movie. Gears have shifted, and the tides have changed (Sorry for the late post, completely slipped my mind). Our new project is for the "Homeward Bound" initiative. In this blog i will post the notes, and our next meeting time.


Homeward Bound in IT.org
Goal – Increase efficiency in providing services & reduce duplication
Bringing Together:
                Social Work
                ****Big Bend Homeless coalition (lots of materials will come from this site)
                City/ government agencies
. Information about what’s going on with homeless:
                What organizations envolved
                                Contact information
                State of the homeless situation
. Homeless should be able to make appointments with organization on website
. Information sharing between agencies
                Ex. Available housing
General Public-
-                State of homelessness (available volunteering opportunities)
-                Contact info for organizations working on issue
-                Who is homeless? Why? (De-stigmatize people to the homeless)
Community activists; faith-based organizations.
Homeless Population-
-                Services available
-                (Make the website accessible to the homeless. Accommodate their possible lack of tech knowledge)
City/State
-                Funding and Grants
-                Don’t put Tallahassee all through website (county/state is also involved)
Service Agency Interaction-
-          Housing available
-          Appointments  

This is pretty much what I got. Tyler, if you have anything else, feel free to post it.

Our next meeting is Monday October 03 at 1pm. Thanks guys.

    As far as the assignment, we're going to keep all the same parts (Tyler A-D, Andrew E-G, Mike Section 2, and Jessie Section 3). We're also going to try to set up a meeting with Dr. Gomery this week so we can ask some specific questions about Homeward Bound to help with our Client and Audience Analysis.
