Homelessness is still a major issue in Australia because policy makers haven\'t made a concerted effort to fund and commit to one particular project for an appropriate length of time. This is clear from research that has analyzed the history of homelessness programs in recent years. Parsell, Jones & Head draw on an extensive list of published articles and government reports analyzing homelessness programs in the UK, USA and Australia to arrive at the conclusion that \"attracted by the successes in the UK and USA, Australian policy makers attempted a piecemeal transfer making it unlikely that the goal of permanently ending homelessness will be achieved\" (Parsell, Jones & Head, 2012).

(5) If the in-demand services were identified then it would mean greater resources could be allocated to those areas. (6) This would allow for greater outreach to homeless people with services that they need. (7) If this outreach was successful then it would mean more people experiencing homelessness received the support that they needed. Check one option. A. 5 B. 4 **C. 1** D. 3 E. 6 F. 2 Although it\'s easy to see why allowing an elementary school child to have a cell phone would be convenient for after-school pickups or arranging playdates with friends, there is too much evidence to show that it\'s generally not a good idea. Children already have a lot of access to media (on average over seven hours per day) and it is the parent\'s responsibility to monitor their media access, which is more difficult if the child has exclusive cell phone access. Cyber bullying, which is increasingly becoming a problem, is also going to be a risk when your child has unlimited access to a smart phone. Clearly, elementary school-aged children are not emotionally mature enough to handle the responsibility of a smart phone, and the borrowing of a parent\'s cell phone should be highly monitored to ensure safe and healthful usage.
