In the above simulation, student participants assume the roles of different families, all living in low-income situations. These situations will include persons experiencing recent unemployment, homelessness, desertion by the primary breadwinner, multiple jobs, or a disability. Additionally, these situations may include persons who may quality for TANF and SNAP benefits or who are living on a fixed retirement income. The focus will be for each family to provide all basic necessities and shelter during the four 15 minute “weeks”. During the simulation, there will be multiple services available via tables such as a bank, a community action center, social services agencies, a school, a community health center, an employer, a utility company, and more. The various students will interact as family members that are each following their roles to complete the “four week” – a day in the life of simulation.
