Explain with an example the procedures involved in the task-centered model.​

Answers may vary. Target problem: Angela and Irwin Corning, an interracial couple, and their three children are living in a transitional housing facility. Irwin lost his job 8 months ago when the county agency where he worked as a maintenance specialist hired a private contractor to reduce its labor costs. The
couple's preference is to purchase another home, but their current financial situation does
not permit them to do so. Consequently, the family will need to move into an apartment.
Goals:
​1. Move from transitional housing facility into an apartment.
"2. Find employment for Irwin.
Irwin has found temporary employment that may lead to a permanent position. Now that he is employed, however, the family is no longer eligible to remain in transitional housing. They have 6 weeks to move from the facility; thus, the priority goal is finding an apartment, preferably one with three bedrooms. Irwin, in the meantime, will continue to look for more permanent employment. To accomplish their goals, the following general tasks were developed:
General tasks for the couple:"
1. Meet with the transitional housing case manager to obtain information about affordable three-bedroom apartments.
2. Plan to visit apartments located in the general area where they want to live.
3. Identify schools in the area for the children.
4. Develop a budget.
"5. Explore permanent employment for Irwin.
The following are specific tasks related to one of the Cornings' goals and previously outlined general tasks:
Goal: Move from the transitional housing facility into an apartment within the next 6 weeks.
General Task: Contact the transitional housing assistance coordinator to obtain information about available and affordable three-bedroom apartments.
Specific Tasks:"
1. Schedule a meeting with the housing coordinator to learn about housing options within the next week.
"2. Plan to visit apartments located in the general area where they would like to live.
​
Specific tasks may need to be further partialized into subtasks. Meeting with the housing coordinator more than likely is a specific one-time action step. Visiting apartments, however, may require additional actions or subtasks, such as arranging for child care, depending on the time of the visits and transportation."
