engaging dads and children living homeless in the u.s.

(Alex and his son, Junior going through the journey overcoming homelessness in America)

Men living in poverty are more than twice as likely to become absent fathers than their middle-class peers (U.S. Census Bureau). However, poverty does not have to define outcomes for children nor does homelessness of fathers prevent being a better every day. On Friday, June 9th at a very special summer institute, we will host speakers, advocates, researchers and experts on engaging fathers who are homeless. Administration for Children and Families’ Preventing Family & Youth Homelessness with a different focus on how to engage homeless fathers as a priority. Policy responding into effective practice “engaging homeless dads” by REACHUP, Inc. Central Hillsborough(Florida) Healthy Start Male Involvement Initiative will talk on proven strategies that is increasing wellness for children and families.

The highlighted ACF initiative and effective practice comes with a vibrant documentary.  Producers on "Daddy Don't Go" an award-winning documentary about socially disadvantaged fathers currently airing on the STARZ Network.  

"Daddy Don't Go" is executive produced by actors/activists Omar Epps and Malik Yoba. Esteemed Professor Kathryn Edin of Johns Hopkins University says the of the film: "Every American must see this film. Why is it so heartbreakingly hard—even impossible—to be a decent dad in America if you're poor? 'Daddy Don't Go' should sear the nation's conscience."

This acclaimed film has now screened at over 35 film festivals and won eight "Best Documentary" Awards from top film festivals including the American Black Film Festival, Urbanworld Film Festival, and Big Sky Documentary.  The realities of two fathers, Alex and Omar who have become homeless for various factors continue to daily engage as nurturing fathers.

NEW FEDERAL CHILD SUPPORT RULES...

There are some public policies that many do no understand impact tens of millions of children in the United States. The 2016 final rule changes to the U.S. Child Support Services system will increase opportunities for payments to go to children basing on the ability to provide support. This and other changes will foster opportunities to increase child wellness, strengthen families and co-parenting....

The goal is to set realistic orders so that noncustodial parents pay regularly, rather than setting an unrealistically high order that results in higher rates of nonpayment. At the same time, states retain flexibility in the level of orders they set. The change will also allow those who are supporting parents that lack resources, in very praticial manners access to new information for noncustodial parents that with effective services, will help in the process of tranformation for change.

There is much concern in the Washington, D.C. area by community leaders about the lack of options presented to our youth in the area of sustainable community programs! After attending a community meeting in the Mayfair community last week with Charles Eaves of the Ward 7 Drug Free Community, it became clear that in order for our community and our youth to co-exist peacefully there must be many more “Sustainable” community supports in place.

The community to prison pipeline only gives us more incarceration. It has created, over the years, an unsustainable alternative that now has “hundreds (and maybe thousands) of returning citizens” to a city that must be prepared to offer jobs, counselling, fatherhood support groups, flexible and accessible social support services, long-term connection services, family re-building services, housing and character enhancement just to name a some of what is needed.
