Welcome Home Housing Simultion (PDF)
The Welcome Home Housing Simulation is an educational resource in which groups of teens role-play a homeless individual searching for housing. Each student participant is assigned a character with a distinct economic profile, family history and biography and seeks housing from representatives including apartment complexes, public housing, rescue missions and private homebuilders. Participants learn about the housing market and experience some of the frustrations of low-income individuals while looking for housing. The Welcome Home Housing Simulation can be downloaded for free. The download includes all the necessary elements of the simulation including instructions, participant character handouts, handouts for adult leaders, application worksheets and discussion questions. The simulation is appropriate for groups of 20 to 50 people, 14 years of age and up. Download the Welcome Home Housing Simulation for free.
