- To acquaint you with legislation which has affected the residential composition of public housing,
- To provide you with a theoretical background on poverty and its implications, and
- To acquaint you with the social and economic characteristics of the disadvantaged poor.
Each goal has several learning objectives . These learning objectives are, simply, measurable statements about the specific knowledge you are expected to acquire in the workshop.
