Section A.

Step 1

Direct costs -

Plumbing – 200,000

Painting – 30,000

Furniture – 20,000

Air Conditioning / Heating – 300,000

Electrical – 150,000

Septic system repair – 100,000

Water Damage – 50,000

Termite Damage (fumigation) – 50,000

Indirect costs –

20,000 per month to rent an office building for continuing operations for 5 Months.

Step 2

The benefit to prioritizing this allocation to building repairs is that the organization will be up to code as well as not potentially losing their accreditations and future eligibilities for additional funds. A clean and repaired building will encourage its workers to perform better because of the clean and maintained environment. A well kept building can also serve to mitigate any mishaps that can impede on everyday activities.

Step 3

The indirect costs during renovation of the building is $20,000 per month for 5 months totaling, $100,000. Renovation will restrict the organization from executing their daily activities as a result, the indirect cost of renting a near by office building to continue operations is necessary.

Step 4

A renovated building serves as a potential way of being mindful of energy consumption. Being mindful of extensive building repairs also serve as a way to counter or mitigate any chances of structural failures or mishaps in the future that would cause more money, time and effort which will slow down the organizational work processes. Quality of life or the comfort of working in a newly repaired building also enhances the comfort and motivation of the organizations staff.

Section B.

Medicine/Medication - $4 Million

Medical Supplies - $500,000

Staff - $2 Million

2 Potential Services

HIV/AIDS Prevention Program/Education to Teens and Adults

Cost to run program $1.5 Million

Anticipated local viral suppression increased to %60 percent in the local community

HIV/AIDS continued research funding

Cost to run program $1.5 Million

Assist in implementing new measures, policies and methods to help with the reduction of the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Between the two notional services mentioned above, I believe that prioritizing the allocation to a HIV/AIDS Prevention Program/Education to Teens and Adults would have a heavier impact. Increased self-care and protection with the help of social cognitive theory can benefit the community due to the increased knowledge and engagement.

Section C

Cultural norms affect the attitudes and behaviors of individuals. The manifestation of beliefs and habits will influence an individual to make their informed decisions accordingly. The CDC makes special considerations to certain groups that are potentially at a higher risk but the most important takeaway here is the effectivity of HIV/AIDS prevention through education. Informing the community of the risks and dangers of contracting HIV/AIDS can help them better prepare by acquiring contraceptives as well as being mindful of seeking medical advice and care to ensure they are in good health.
