Being at risk for homelessness will be determined by their income level being at…

The temporal need-threat model by Williams (2001) specifically explained the…

In understanding the needs of the community and identifying problems within the community, it is important for community members to participate in the issue selection process. Not only will issue selection produce community participation, but it will also contribute to community building and community unifying efforts.

For nearly three decades voter participation has continued to decline, this decline is most distinctive and evident among younger American citizens (Warren & Wicks, 2011). The quality of civic education affects civic life and engagement for teenagers as they transition into adulthood. The lack of quality in civic education can result in a decrease in voter turnout, and civic involvement more broadly (Smith & Graham 2014; Pratte 1988) National standards and practices need to be set and enforced,…

If approved, higher education institutions collaborating with federal or state prisons will allow inmates to receive Pell Grants while incarcerated. State and federal prisoners had access to Pell Grants until 1994, when Congress banned access, claiming that allowing inmates access to Pell Grants…
