Hart City Case Study – Scenario 7

Snow (2013) defines advocacy as the process of “eliminating oppressive forces in clients’ lives and working at a systems level towards achieving a more just and fair society” (p. 6). Advocacy often requires advanced human services professional practitioners to make an argument about why a specific service user—or group of service users—need a service. This argument could be made to those in power who control the allocation of services or to the general public to raise awareness about a specific social justice issue. Therefore, practitioners must be able to present a clear and concise argument that is persuasive enough to secure services or mobilize the public to support an issue.

In this Discussion, you create an advocacy pitch on behalf of a service user from one of the Hart City scenarios assigned this week.

Hart City Case Study – Scenario 7 Program Transcript

 

MALE SPEAKER: Hello, Ms. Clark. Thank you for seeing me. I’m looking for disabilities advocate to help me petition my landlord.

 

FEMALE SPEAKER: Hello, Mr. Grant. I will do my best to assist you. Can you tell me about the petition and the events that led up to your landlord tenant concern?

 

MALE SPEAKER: I lived in my apartment for five years. I like my neighbors and community, but I’m having trouble accessing things around my apartment. I was injured during my last active duty tour.

 

When I returned home, I notified my landlord that I now use a wheelchair. And I made a request to make my apartment accessible. It’s been a month. My landlord has ignored my letters and phone calls.

 

FEMALE SPEAKER: Thank you for your service, Mr. Grant. It seems that you have been patient. One month is a little long to go without receiving any acknowledgment of your requests.

 

MALE SPEAKER: Thank you. I feel that I have been patient. I really like my apartment so I don’t want to move. What are my options?

 

FEMALE SPEAKER: Sure. Let’s explore your options.
