Movin' On In

Movin’ on In will promote efforts to end homelessness and raise awareness of local challenges in attaining affordable housing. It provides participants with a hands-on opportunity to broaden understandings of homelessness and housing through a housing simulation. The housing simulation allows participants to play the role of a homeless individual in need of housing. Each role includes circumstantial details and participants attempt to attain housing during four simulated days. After the simulation, a debriefing session lead by a housing specialist will provide opportunities for discussion. Afterwards, participants will assemble “new home starter kits” in laundry baskets for newly housed families. We will conclude with a speaker from our Michigan's Campaign to End Homelessness AmeriCorps program who will share about how members are serving their community.
