Assess students’ ability to apply public policy analysis frameworks (e.g., problem definition, stakeholder analysis, cost–benefit, logic models, policy instruments, implementation and evaluation planning) to design targeted, evidence-based interventions aimed at reducing homelessness in mid-sized U.S. cities; tasks include diagnosing local drivers, selecting appropriate policy tools, addressing equity and legal constraints, estimating costs and expected outcomes, and proposing measurable evaluation metrics and implementation steps within realistic budgetary and political constraints.
