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!
• 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.
