SWOT/Stakeholder Assignment
Some parameters to keep in mind:
Any political candidate is acceptable. Though a local politician for a town or city (such as a mayor or councilmember) may make more sense due to the direct involvement with Section 8 funding and outcomes
Doesn’t have to be a different choice for each student, as was the intention with the City Paper municipality selection. That is, everyone can choose the same candidate if it comes to that!
Your selected recommendation is also open ended. More important to construct a reasoned SWOT and page 2 analysis than to try to hone in on a ‘correct’ answer
Assignment Overview: 2 pages total –> 1 page SWOT on Section 8 with a recommendation to address the program, and 1 page analysis on Section 8’s effects on tenants, landlords and the local housing authority.
Here is the assignment description from the syllabus for easy reference:
The first part of the assignment is to write a policy memo for a political candidate that includes: (1) a SWOT analysis of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, and (2) a recommendation to the candidate on how to address the program in a campaign. This part of the assignment should be no more than a single page.
The second part of the assignment is an analysis of how the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program affects three major stakeholders involved in the program: tenants, landlords, and the HUD local housing authority.
