HOMELESSNESS and HOUSING

Course Description

This course aims to inform students about the causes, history, and experiences of homelessness and about existing programs and affordable housing policies to address the problem. It also provides students with the opportunity to conduct original research and write an extended term paper on topics related to these themes.

Course Learning Goals

Learn why we describe those without shelter as “homeless”

Learn how people experience homelessness, what it feels like

Learn the history of, and trends in homelessness in the US, and measures of it

Learn how to count people experiencing homelessness

Learn why people live on the streets even in affluent societies with social services

Assess conflicting explanations for the rise in homelessness

Assess the impact of COVID-19 on homelessness

Learn about homelessness in your city and Washington, DC

Examine ways in which societies criminalize the homeless, and legal remedies

Evaluate various approaches to ending homelessness, including Housing First

Learn about the main low-income housing programs

Compare homelessness in the US to other countries

Write critical responses to readings on these subjects

Conduct original research, analyze data, and write a long paper that can serve as a writing sample for employers or doctoral programs

Prerequisites: The seminar is open to graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the social sciences from all schools at George Washington University who can demonstrate research skills.

Assignments and Grading:

Preparation of weekly readings prior to class and participation in discussions (instructor reserves the right to quiz).

Response to a film on homelessness: 10% of grade. DUE September 9

A 2-page report on a particular subgroup of the homeless: vets, youth, elderly, families, LGBT, ex-offenders, etc. 20% of grade DUE September 23

A 3-5 page report on people experiencing homelessness in one Continuum of Care of your choice and how the CoC is housing them: 30% of grade. DUE October 21

Resources include: https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/coc-areas; https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/coc/;https://www.hudexchange.info…

Especially see the annual PIT and HIC counts https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/3031/pit-and-hic-data-since-2007/

The National Alliance to End Homelessness also computes rates. https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homelessness-statis…

Rates of homelessness compare point-in-time counts to state, county, and city population data from the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Program. Most CoC boundaries align with one or multiple counties, and about a dozen align with cities that are entirely within one county. However, four CoCs align with city boundaries spanning multiple counties (Atlanta, GA; Amarillo, TX; Kansas City, MO; and Oklahoma City, OK) and estimates rely on prior year trends.

CoC Racial Analysis Tool lets you calculate the extent to which local homelessness exceeds the poverty rate and over-represents particular racial groups at https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/5787/coc-analysis-tool-race-and-e…

The U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) have an annual report on homelessness and hunger in 38 cities: The U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Report on Hunger and Homelessness, A Status Report on Homelessness and Hunger in America’s Cities, December 2017 is the https://endhomelessness.org/resource/the-united-states-conference-of-ma…

Put homelessness in context: find the American Community Survey/ Census data for the county or counties of the CoC here:

https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2010s-counti…

Term paper based on original research: 40% of grade.

The paper, not to exceed 20 double-spaced pages (excluding tables and references), shall be on a topic related to homelessness or housing the homeless. It should draw upon course themes and readings, but significantly transcend them with original research, preferably in Washington, DC or with a local NGO. Students should consult the professor on their topic early on, and indicate if the paper will contribute to a qualifying exam or thesis. Students will present a summary of their paper online on December 2 or 9. Final draft is DUE December 16 at 11:59 pm! No “Incompletes” shall be awarded, so please plan ahead and manage your time accordingly.

Original research may include documentary analysis of primary and secondary materials, quantitative statistical analysis of datasets, interviews, analysis of information systematically collected during a field placement, or a study collecting new data as requested by local agencies. Participant observation is discouraged due to time constraints.

The paper should consist of several sections: (1) state the research question and define the problem under study, (2) review the relevant literature and course readings on the problem, (3) describe research methods used and explain why they are appropriate, (4) present the findings, and (5) conclude with the theoretical and policy implications of the study.

Students will consult with the instructor and prepare one-page paper proposals declaring the topic of study (e.g. the main question under investigation) and the research methods to be employed. DUE: October 7

A progress report, in the form of a literature review, a short narrative describing methods and work in progress, or another section of the paper already written. DUE: November 4

Students will briefly summarize and present their research findings and receive comments for revision during the last weeks of the seminar; 12/2 or 12/9.

The final paper itself is DUE December 16, the Wednesday of exam period.

COURSE POLICIES

Expected Time Commitment: 3-credit Graduate Seminar

In keeping with the course requirement of 112.5 hours over the semester, students will spend 2 hours per week in class or viewing films (100 minutes total) over the 15 weeks of the semester, for a total of 25-30 instructional hours. Out of class work – required readings, research, and writing -- will total, on average, 7 hours (350 minutes) a week, or 87-105 hours total in preparation time.

Format: The course consists of short lectures and synchronous discussions of assigned readings so that all students share and actively discuss the same basic information. In addition, the course includes guest lectures from DC experts and films. In the early weeks of the semester, preparation of required readings or films prior to the seminar meetings is expected to take up approximately 6 hours per week (reading at 24 pages/hour) and preparation of responses make require another 1 hour. Students will search for a research topic and have individual consultations with the instructor which may take 2-3 hours a week. As the semester progresses, out of class time devoted to reading and writing for seminar meetings will decline to 3 hours a week, while independent reading and research for one’s term paper will increase to 7 hours a week. In the last weeks of the semester, course time outside of class may exceed 10 hours a week, as students will be fully engaged in their research projects, analyzing findings, writing up the term paper, and preparing an in-class presentation. After Thanksgiving, students will present their preliminary findings and revise their papers for submission.

Online Office Hours: I will be available in Blackboard Collaborate for individual consultations and group discussions on Wednesdays 4-6 pm EDT. Please email me ahead of time if you want a private consultation on Webex or Blackboard.

Student Discussions: Students should feel free to initiate their own chat rooms or discussion threads. The instructor can facilitate this if requested.

Etiquette and “Web-iquette”

Higher education works best when it becomes a vigorous and lively marketplace of ideas in which all points of view are heard. Free expression in the classroom is an integral part of this process. At the same time, higher education works best when all of us approach the enterprise with empathy and respect for others, irrespective of their ideology, political views, or identity. We value civility because that is the kind of community we want, and we care for it because civility permits intellectual exploration and growth.

Class discussions will be conducted in a spirit of mutual respect and collective inquiry. Own your ideas; do not post anonymously. Diverse opinions are welcomed. Indeed, reasoned disagreement between arguments supported with evidence can facilitate learning. In case you need guidance about how to disagree respectfully, try to challenge or criticize the idea, not the person. Read/listen carefully to what others are saying. Be courteous: do not interrupt or chat/engage in private conversations or play with your devices while others are speaking. Do not demean, devalue, or “put down” peoplefor their experiences, lack of experience, or difference in interpretations. Allow everyone the chance to talk. If you have already spoken a lot, try to hold back a bit; if you are hesitant to speak, look for opportunities to contribute to the discussion. Finally, if you find something said to be offensive, speak up. Anti-racism resources are posted on the Blackboard site if you wish some guidance.

UNIVERSITY POLICIES

University policy on observance of religious holidays

In accordance with University policy, students should notify faculty during the first week of the semester of their intentionto be absent from class on their day(s) of religious observance. For details and policy, see : provost.gwu.edu/policies-procedures-and-guidelines

Academic Integrity Code

Academic Integrity is an integral part of the educational process, and GW takes these matters very seriously. Violations of academic integrity occur when students fail to cite research sources properly, engage in unauthorized collaboration, falsify data, and in other ways outlined in the Code of Academic Integrity. Students accused of academic integrity violations should contact the Office of Academic Integrity to learn more about their rights and options in the process. Outcomes can range from failure of assignment to expulsion from the University, including a transcript notation. The Office of Academic Integrity maintains a permanent record of the violation. More information is available from the Office of Academic Integrity at studentconduct.gwu.edu/academic-integrity. The University’s “Guide of Academic Integrity in Online Learning Environments” is available at studentconduct.gwu.edu/guide-academic-integrity-online-learning-environments. Contact information: [email protected] or 202-994-6757.
