·         Describe the population demographic being served by this organization.
Population Demographic Being Served:

Carrfour Supportive Housing exists to work side by side with formerly homeless individuals and families in Miami-Dade County to provide affordable housing solutions integrated with supportive services. The demographic includes all age groups, all races, all creeds, and all special needs, such as those with disabilities or chronic health problems. Carrfour programs provide stability and self-sufficiency for many clients who are transitioning from homelessness (Carrfour Supportive Housing, 2023).
Social Determinants of Health (SDOHs):

·         Identify actual and potential SDOHs that impact the demographic served by the nonprofit organization.

·         Use the following data sources or similar ones to find relevant data and identify SDOHs: 2023 County Health Rankings National Findings Report, CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, and United States Census Bureau QuickFacts.
Identification of Actual and Potential SDOHs:

Economic Stability: Clients are often unemployed or underemployed, and these incomes cannot support paying for housing and healthcare.

Education Access and Quality: Lacking educational opportunities can limit job prospects and economic opportunities.

Healthcare Access and Quality: Chronic conditions that are unmanaged may result from barriers to accessing healthcare services.

Neighborhood and Built Environment: It’s not just about safe and affordable housing, inadequate living conditions can compound health problems.

Social and Community Context: It can also affect your mental health and well-being.

These factors underscore the need for comprehensive support services along with housing to meet the demands of this population with the multiple needs.
Topic:

·         Describe the education topic that will be relevant to provide to your identified nonprofit’s community members.
Education Topic: Diabetes Prevention and Management. The project emphasizes the importance of balanced diets, meal planning on a budget, and the role of physical activity in preventing chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Rationale of Topic:

·         Explain the reason for your choice of education topic based on your research.
Individuals who are homeless or whose housing is unstable are at greater risk for overweight, diabetes and other chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer, in large part because of barriers to nutritious food, healthcare services and safe environments for physical activity. Education on diabetes prevention and management can help residents get empowered and take informed health choices, utilize the existing resources effectively to live a better quality of life (Healthy People 2030, 2023).
