Agenda

Before project work time, please completed the Myth Buster Lesson #2: "It's too expensive!"
Many people believe that providing services and housing for people experiencing homelessness is simply too expensive and that we don't have it in our state or town budgets. This study conducted by the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law challenges this assumption by outlining the costs of enforcing anti-homeless laws.  It's a BIG study so we will break it into sections over the next two days but today, you'll just read the introduction, called "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY". 

READ:  Pages 1-2, "Executive Summary" (scroll down until you see the bold title "Executive Summary" and then on a separate piece of paper, answer the following questions.

RESPONSE: (ANSWER THESE ON LOOSE-LEAF paper and turn into Ashley tomorrow once you've finished the ENTIRE mythbuster lesson)

1. What does this report analyze?
2. What is one piece of evidence/statistic from the "Executive Summary" that you could share at our exhibition that you think would be best to inform community members and/or change their perception?
3. How would Reducing or eliminating anti-homeless ordinances achieve governmental goals of reducing ineffective spending? (p. 2)
   
4. By the 2nd half of class tomorrow, please also have read and briefly summarized the key points from your assigned section in order to share your section with other students.
