GRANT WRITING, RESEARCH AND In 1979 and 1980, I was engaged in two team projects as a doctoral student. An evaluation of Social Work doctoral dissertation research resulted in a publication and a presentation at a national conference. The second, was a study of immigrants in New York City and resulted in a published monologue. During 1980 and 1981, I worked with the late Dr. Melvin Herman who was with the Columbia University Community Services, studying the impact of declining single room occupancy hotels (SROs). I helped develop and conducted the statistical analysis on two survey questionnaires related to attitudes of Medical, Law, Public Health, and Social Work students working with SRO residents. In 1982 and 1983, I also led two surveys of college alcohol use and one program evaluation of a county's distribution of food stamps which resulted in two publications and one international conference presentation. My dissertation (completed in 1986) was an enormous quantitative research piece beginning with the questionnaire development and using extensive multivariate analyses to test psychosocial variables involved in college alcohol and drug use. Two papers on the findings have been published in professional journals. In 1987, I conducted a study among the elderly regarding longevity and health behaviors for a Scranton, PA Medical Hospital. In 1988, I conducted a study of the scientific orientation of graduate MSW social workers and I presented my findings in March 1988 at the Conference of Social Work Education. As well in 1988, I conducted a study of the attitudes of Catholics toward capital punishment. The results were published in a number of newspapers including the national newspaper The Catholic Light. Additionally, the United States Catholic Conference: Department of Social Development and Work Peace used the report to help plan a major education effort. From 1988 through 1990, I wrote a proposal and developed a pilot program to reunite parents with their children. The program provided supervised visits between foster children and their parents. In 1989, I was involved in a national evaluation of the affect of licensure on MSW Education. The results were presented at the March 1988 Conference of Social Work Education. A paper on the study has been published in a professional journal. Beginning in 1989 through 1990, I was Study Director of one of the six Barry University Homeless studies financed by the Victor Posner Homeless Fund. This was a yearlong study to describe the number and nature of homelessness in South Florida. This was a major social research effort. The results have been presented at three national conferences. From 1989 through 1990, I was the principal evaluator for five Zayercare projects administrated by the Dade Community Foundation. It was an evaluation and comparison of four parenting training programs for disadvantaged parents. In addition, one evaluation of one self-esteem building programs for children in elementary schools. This work resulted in one regional conference presentation. As well, in 1989 and 1990, I completed a summative program evaluation of the Catholic Community Service program, Family Reunification project in Miami. This was an in-depth program evaluation, which identified the strengths and weaknesses of the pilot project. The evaluation covered the life of the project from the proposal to the final day of operations. Summer of 1990, I develop an Outcome Evaluation System for Informed Families of Dade County, Miami, Florida. The package was composed of eight instruments and a manual on scoring each. One instrument was for children from first to fifth grade (pre and post). A second was for sixth through twelfth grade (pre and post). Five others were for parents, teachers, volunteers, principals and participants in workshops. In 1991 as principal investigator, I conducted a needs assessment of AIDS Prevention Education in South Florida for the South Florida Community AIDS Partnership. The approach used essential informants, snowball sampling and primarily focus groups to gather the data. Lead the successful application writing for a surplus Naval property in Coconut Grove, FL, August, 1991 for the Miami Homeless Coalition. The proposed use was as a homeless educational center. The Property was valued at 10 million dollars. In Nov. 1991 conducted ethnographic interviews of 50 runaway and homeless youth in the South Florida area. This is one part of a larger study of 300 interviews around the United States. Conducted a follow up study of AIDS Prevention Education in South Florida for the South Florida Community AIDS Partnership. Evaluated the Community Homeless Assistance Project that operated from 8-15-91 to 1-15-92, a joint venture between the City, County and Community to help the homeless in Miami, FL.

Conducted a study for the Legal Aid Services agency of greater Miami on the impact of FEMA services on the victims of Hurricane Andrew a year after the disaster, 1994-1995.

Lead a self-study of St. Luke's Addiction Recovery Center, Miami, Florida in the spring of 1996. Wrote a proposal and received a grant to develop and implement a Restorative Summer School program for 40 of the highest at risk children and their parents. This project was funded at $45,000 a year. The evaluation component followed the children and parents through out the 1996/97 school year. Wrote a proposal and received a grant to develop and implement a WEB page for a substance abuse prevention program called SAMS, Substance Abuse Ministry. This project was funded at $49,000 for 1998.

MEDIA RECOGNITION Although I dislike talking to journalist, because of my work and research among the homeless, I am perceived as an expert on the homeless in South Florida and they often seek me out. My work and comments have appeared in newspapers such as the New York Times, The Boston Globe, and The Atlanta Journal. In Florida, my work has been mentioned in the Orlando Sentinel, Sun Sentinel, and in the Tampa, Tallahassee and Jacksonville papers, as well as other Florida newspapers that write about South Florida's homeless.
