Question:
Dear Toolbox.
I need to develop a proposal for a sustainability intervention that is designed to solve a problem in a community that I live in.
Currently, the community area I live in, I have noticed so many young children roaming the streets now with COVID 19 that is scary with no adult or parental supervision.

The work that I do is working with homeless people, people living on the streets for several years.



I need some advice and guidance on how to start the proposal

Your assistance and guidance would be highly appreciated

Answer:

Fiona, 
Thank you for sending over your question and I hope I can provide you with the information you need. I do want to let you know that the Community ToolBox offers you a variety of resources to address your needs. For one, here is a model and resource for social action: https://ctb.ku.edu/en/get-started. You will find specific resources that help you think about how to assess a problem/challenge and then how to develop a model for sustainability. I would encourage you to go through the steps, assess, plan, act, evaluate, and sustain and use the resources provided and tools. Since you mentioned "a sustainability intervention", I would like to point you directly to these resources: https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/sustain/long-term-sustainability/sustainability-strategies/mainh. The resources are very specific to strategies that help organizations and other entities think about strategies needed to sustain their work. 
 
Thank you
