Details

Following the given outline, learners will each write a chapter of 3000 words and produce a book that gathers and highlights the latest research into the effectiveness of programs that aim to reduce poverty and homelessness. The book will be a snapshot in time of how far we have to go to "step" out of homelessness.

Deliverables

Students will write at least 1500 words in the first half of the month and an additional 1500 words in the last half of the month. Each chapter will be 3000 words or more, and cited in APA style. All research must be properly cited and content must be human written.

Mentorship

The project lead will be available to answer questions about citations, writing, and editing. This staff will be available via phone or email.
