It seems like you’re in the process of composing a Problem-Solutions synthesis essay, particularly focused on the issue of homelessness in Utah. Let’s break this down step by step.
First, let’s identify five inquiry topics that emerge from your notes:
1. Strategies to Reduce Homelessness in Utah:
– Why is it crucial to explore different strategies for reducing homelessness in Utah?
– This topic is vital as it addresses the core of your essay: “To tackle the question of how we can decrease the rate of homelessness in Utah, it’s essential to consider both the stakeholders involved and the strategies outlined in the strategic plans.”
2. Stakeholders in Homelessness Solutions:
– Who are the key stakeholders in addressing homelessness in Utah, and why are their roles significant?
– Your notes mention, “list of stakeholders: me, people experiencing homelessness, Utah citizens,” indicating an interest in understanding the diverse perspectives involved.
3. Personal Connection to the Topic:
– How does your personal experience living in Utah shape your understanding and approach to the homelessness issue?
– You mentioned, “From your perspective, having lived in Utah all your life, you’ve seen firsthand how pervasive this issue has become…”
4. Comparison to National Averages:
– How does Utah’s homelessness situation compare to national trends, and why is this comparison important?
– Your notes highlight the contrast: “Many people assume that Utah doesn’t struggle with homelessness because it has half the percent of the national average.”
5. Governmental and Community Roles:
– What roles do government and community play in implementing solutions to homelessness, and what are the challenges they face?
– You observed, “I feel like it is completely possible for the government to pay for more beds…”
Now, let’s dive into one of these topics as if we were starting to write about it. Let’s choose “Strategies to Reduce Homelessness in Utah.”
Think-Aloud: As a writer, I’m asking myself: How do I want to structure this section? Should I begin with a broad overview of current strategies or focus immediately on specific plans? I wonder which strategies have been most effective historically and which new approaches could be considered. It’s crucial to think about the evidence I’ll use to support each strategy’s effectiveness.

Great! Let’s continue exploring the topic of strategies to reduce homelessness in Utah by incorporating more plans and ideas.
Think-Aloud: As I begin writing, I am thinking about the various strategies that have been proposed or implemented in Utah. I wonder which ones have shown promising results and which might require more innovation or collaboration. I want to ensure I provide a balanced view, highlighting both successes and areas needing improvement.
One approach could be to start by summarizing the strategic plans currently in place, such as those mentioned in your notes. For instance, “This source includes 5 goals which all aim to decreasing homelessness in Utah.” I would delve into these goals, identifying key elements like prevention, maintaining housing, and community support. How do these goals align with the insights from stakeholders and the broader community?
