compile a Policy Quick Guide to reference in your future field experiences and your practice (Poverty and Homelessness).
You also consider one unique characteristic or perspective in each Policy Quick Guide. This week, you identify one opportunity for change related to a policy of focus.
For each policy (Social Security Act, Economic Opportunity Act, Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act), briefly:
• Explain how the policy is addressed at the federal, state, and local levels.
• What programs were developed from this policy?
• Reflect on how the policy affects or may affect your community, geographic area, or potential clients.
Then, address this unique prompt for this week’s Quick Guide:
• Identify one opportunity for change for one of the policies.
