© 2012 Boise State University2 Homelessness is a “wicked problem”

© 2012 Boise State University3 Some characteristics of wicked problems There is no definitive formulation of a wicked problem Wicked problems have no stopping rule Solutions to wicked problems are not true-or- false, but good-or-bad Every wicked problem can be considered to be a symptom of another problem Horst W.J. Rittel and Melvin M. Webber “Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning,” Policy Sciences (1973).

© 2012 Boise State University6 Goat Rodeo A chaotic situation, often one that involves several people, each with a different agenda/vision/perception of what's going on; a situation that is very difficult, despite energy and efforts, to instill any sense or order into

© 2012 Boise State University7 When collaborations fail Services to clients are cut Bad feelings result Lawsuits are filed Duplication of efforts Confusion among clients and donors

© 2012 Boise State University8 What makes collaborations work? Governance: Who makes decisions? How are costs and benefits distributed? Administration: clear roles and responsibilities, good communication Autonomy of each participant protected Mutuality of interests shared by participants Trust and reciprocity: the participants trust each other

Boise Rescue Mission Ministries reaches out to the community by teaching the word of God and providing food, shelter, clothing, counseling, and education for the homeless and others in need IDHW: to promote and protect the health and safety of Idahoans.
