Community Policy Proposals

Community Policy Proposals

You will be using the results of your Unit 3 Community Assessment assignment as the basis for this assignment. You have examined the social change and public policy environment of your home community by surveying the population demographics (taking into account gender, race, and sexual orientation, as well as varied nationalities and their social and economic status) and explored public sources of information in order to identify demands for social changes in businesses, non-profits, and government. These demands reflect the possible need for public policy development. 

• Draft and present two possible policy proposals that respond to the specific public demands you identified in your community in the previous assignment. 
  
  
  
  • These demands may apply to businesses, non-profit organizations, or government.
  
  
  • Utilize the document entitled, "Elements of a Standard Policy Statement," which is located in your Social Policy Toolbox, to guide your development of these proposals.
  
  
  • Include a title for each proposal.
  
  
  
  


• Write a 750-word summary of your two possible policy proposals, emphasizing these elements:
  
  
  
  • State the proposed policy on which you have decided, with the following:
    
    
    
    • A descriptive title.
    
    
    • A statement of the public entity for which the policy is intended.
    
    
    • The beneficiaries of the policy.
    
    
    • The human service outcome for social change.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • State which actors in the home community may play a constructive and active role to advance the policy process, and identify the actors or factors that may pose as obstacles to your proposed policy.
  
  
  • State the key discussion points raised by your peers in support of or in opposition to your proposed policy.
  
  
  • State your rationale for choosing the policy proposal.
