Creating a Web-Based Resource for a Population At Risk

POVERTY IN USA 2

Poverty

The United States lives in a web of poverty, and the complexity of poverty is expressed. There are efforts enacted to promote fair treatment and an honest day’s work in various cities to immigrants. There are attempts to create affordable housing and eliminate barriers for people who come from behind bars. This knowledge is useful in my future profession as it provides me with insights on how poverty levels can be reduced in both the children and adults.

From the data, on average, 2.5 children are homeless every year, and more than 40 million Americans live in poverty. The children are abandoned by their parents that leave them destitute, and the families strive to cater for rent or mortgage. In Broward County, Florida, 265521 people are living in poverty levels, and a large population spends half of their income monthly on rent and mortgage (U.S. Department of Health andHuman Services, 2012). Some programs are being enacted to reduce the instances. For example, affordable housing in Florida aims to improve the living condition s of its households.

The organizational features include the presentation of the images that are attention calling. The images are evidence of fascinating a viewer to get to understand its content. The content features have been presented attractively on the website (World Health Organization, 2014). The headline that offers the major topic has been formulated with the issues of interest phases accessible to the viewer. I would emulate the planning of the headlines when creating my website in this cause.

The World Bank indicates the efforts enacted and being measured to address the poverty issue in all phases. They are working with the governments that enable the development of sound policies that are effective in countries considered to be poor (CBS News, 2011). The website focuses on the investments and critical areas for improving the lives of the people.

The website has precise triangulation and a logical roadmap as its organizational features. The two features facilitate the experience of the users, and it is informative enough with relevant information. It has web compatibility and quality of web content that facilitate delivering the data effectively. The features facilitated the interaction of the user and the website. The facilitated communication among the factors is appealing to me that I might emulate in creating my website.
