Defending Your Policy Proposal Once you have built an agenda for your policy, developed a policy proposal plan, and strategically analyzed the composition of the audience to which you will present your policy proposal, you must now be prepared to defend it. In this Assignment, you will submit a video presentation summary of the policy proposal you created from last week's Discussion. This is a simulation for a presentation summary you would make to policy leaders. Submit a video presentation summary of the policy proposal you created from last week's Discussion. Be sure to incorporate feedback from your colleagues. Make sure that your summary presentation provides a solid rationale for the passage of your policy, using reputable sources from experts in the field. This should be a simulation of a summary presentation you would make to "real-world" policy leaders, so make sure you are succinct and informative. You can include any visual aids that you think help your presentation. In the case of Jose, he is a 42 year old, Latino male that has substance abuse issues, unemployed, and is homeless (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). Jose only has minor legal issues and some of his strengths include some family support and his high school education.  Jose also has a history of employment (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). Jose identifies his biggest issue is his alcohol abuse. The social worker should focus on the need identified by the client. Jansson (2018), states policy advocates must think deliberately when, they identify options, select and weigh criteria and rank options, and develop a decision-making matrix in order to meet the need of the client. In order to assist Jose and other individuals also experiencing homelessness and substance abuse issues, I would create a policy proposal that provides a well-rounded approach in helping these individuals. The program would allow for individuals to live on campus and receive counseling services to address substance abuse and possible mental health issues. The funding would be through state grants and the employees would be the individuals themselves. A large percentage of their income would go back into the program to provide for their food and housing. A small portion would be in a locked savings account for the individual themselves to build up in order to have enough money for when they are discharged. The individual would also have access to support groups and church service on campus. The program would be a 12 month transitional program. Jansson (2018) discusses how policy ranking high in one criterion but lower in another is a trade-off. Some of the trade- offs would be that individuals may not want to participate and in that event they can be discharged. Also, grant funding may be difficult to obtain. However, the cost of treatment would be more beneficial than sending the individuals to jail or treatment for 30 days that may not be effective.
