An analysis of the problems related to the administration of the housing rehabilitation program: a case study of Fulton county, Georgia, 1989
Get PDFThe primary purpose of this degree paper is to examine the major problems associated with the administration of Fulton Countys Housing Rehabilitation Program. The significance of this study lies in the fact that the ability of a government to provide the very basic necessities of life to its citizens, is the basis upon which the effectiveness of government is judged. Since the United States government made a commitment, in 1949, to assure a decent home for every American, an examination of one of the programs aimed at fulfilling the commitment is therefore appropriate. The major findings of this study indicate that the the Housing Rehabilitation Program is plagued by four main problems; 1)The lack of adequate dissemination of information concerning the Housing Rehabilitation Program; 2) The lack of adequate staff to effectively service a large jurisdictional area, such as Fulton County; 3) The rigid eligibility tequirements and detailed application process; and 4) The over reliance on dated, (ten year old), census data information to determine eligibility effectively. The sources of information for this study were obtained from interviews, participatory observation, books, journals articles, and departmental manuals

Get PDFThe purpose of this exploratory descriptive was to examine the degree to which African-American ministers were knowledgeable about the prevention and transmission of the AIDS virus. In order for the researcher to measure and assess this knowledge and what impact it contributed to their attitudes about the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic, eighty questionnaires were administered to include ideas on (1) Sources of information about the AIDS and HIV, (2) General knowledge about AIDS and HIV, (3) Misperceptions about HIV transmission, (4) Prevention of HIV transmission, (5) Perceived risk of HIV infection, (6) Reaction to government AIDS efforts. Simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze the participants' response to each question and was presented in percentages and frequency distributions. The findings from this study suggest that African-American ministers have a general working knowledge about the prevention and transmission of the AIDS virus

Seventy recovering black men who attend Twelve-Step meetings were surveyed. A scale was designed to measure the dependent variable, use and attendance of twelve-step meetings and the independent variable, attitudes of black males. Pearsons "R" was used to test the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Results indicated that there was a significant relationship between attitudes and the use and attendance of Twelve-Step groups. The research hypothesis that attitudes effect black males use of Twelve-Step meetings was proven. Therefore, the hypothesis was accepted
