You will at some point have to make a decision to become an advocate for solutions to your central problem in at least one of the following three ways: 1) you might advocate for one or more specific solutions to the significant and current political/social/cultural problem that sits at the center of your focus; 2) you might locate the next steps to potentially solving your project’s central problem; or, 3) you might argue for why the current solutions do not work and leave your readers with questions about possible next steps. In other words, your arguments for advocating solutions in combination with the analytical reasons you provide for why you have chosen to focus on particular solutions will after weeks and weeks of diligent engagement become a richly-textured thesis statement, one that deepens your articulation of the problem at hand and argues for convincing for ways to move forward.

AP Introduction: Youth Homelessness in San Francisco
Youth homelessness has become a significant problem in San Francisco to the points
where the thousands of young people who are aged 18 to 24 years no longer bother residents
despite the discomfort that they experience daily. According to Schutte (2017), the one out of the
five homeless people in the city is a youth while an estimated 40 percent of this demographic of
the vulnerable population do not possess a high school diploma or general education diploma.
Aside from the high level of illiteracy among the homeless youth population in San Francisco,
the problem is a source of public health problem concern as the potential future generation battle
with mental and physical challenges that expose them to various risks and problems. The
evaluation of the issues that made the 1,441 unsheltered or temporarily sheltered homeless youth
in the city showed that the failures in the child protection system, lack of economic opportunities
for these young people to get income, and other social services that could help overcome the
challenges of living on the street. Therefore, it is imperative to examine the historical factors that
were responsible for the failure of current and past solutions as the basis for gaining insights into
the persistence of youth homelessness in San Francisco. The outcome of this historical
evaluation should guide the formulation of the advocacy programs for ensuring that financial
resources and policies for addressing the systemic institutional issues end the problem in the city.
Youth homelessness in San Francisco has remained a major problem because the efforts
of the city departments that are responsible for fixing the problem are using programs that are
based on models that are inconsistent with the causative factors of homelessness. Rather than
provide the temporary housing units that are needed by this population to exit the streets, most of
the programs are designed to address public concerns regarding the spaces on the roads that are
occupied by the young people. An additional aspect of the problem is the lack of the financial
Zhou 2
resources that are needed for the construction of temporary shelters since housing is the most
critical needs of the people who are living on the streets of San Francisco (Larkini Youth
Service, 2015). Consequently, the programs that would be designed to remove the long-time
encampment on the streets of San Francisco would need to focus on the issues that this
population in the most significant ways.
Furthermore, youth homelessness in San Francisco has remained a major social and
public health problem because the programs and initiatives are not based on relevant data and
information about the significance of the issues and other factors that would make
implementation effective. In this regard, the few services in the city are inadequate for the needs
of the homeless youths because they cannot perform a needs assessment of how to meet the
demographics of the population. Also, the increasing number of the youth population is a
representation of the pressures on the temporary housing units that lead some of its residents
back to the streets when the spaces are unavailable (Schutte, 2017). Therefore, any program that
would be implemented to address the problem should be defined according to data models that
represent the dynamics of the problem within the period of its conduct.
Meanwhile, the analysis of the various aspects of the state of youth homelessness in San
Francisco showed that there is an urgent need for a coordinated community program with the
primary objective of reducing the number of first-time homeless youths in the city. It is a
solution that originated from the examination of the elements of current public and private
initiatives for dealing with youth homelessness in San Francisco and other parts of the country
with similar challenges. An additional aim of the proposed coordinated program for dealing with
this problem is to increase the number services that are available to homeless youths in the city
and improve the level of awareness on their positive impacts to the problem. Also, the goal of the
Zhou 3
housing program should be designed to decrease the number of return to homelessness after
obtaining accommodation. In a nutshell, the proposed solution to the high prevalence and
incidence rate of youth homelessness in San Francisco consists of models that would shorten the
time that young people spend on the streets and address their mental and physical health needs
due to their victimization and exploitation.
