A Walk with the Homeless : Designed for Victory

Abstract

Participants will learn lessons from a three-year study conducted teaching the Homeless Community (Adult Learners) a class titled Challenge to Change. This study was conducted one-year prior to the pandemic and was put on hold for implementation. 20% into implementation process, the results are encouraging. We asked participants experiencing homelessness two questions: What do you want? How can we help ? Gain access to Legacy Projects and discover the design of building a system for implementing for citizens in need. Explore qualitative data implemented with our designed-based solutions towards providing transition support in and out of homelessness.
