Assignment: How successful are returning citizens from prison to remain crime free and in stable housing after the Reentry Partnership Housing (RPH) Program

Plan and design an evaluation of an organization, program, or intervention of your choice. You may need to do some background research. Include references to the semester’s readings.

Write and submit a paper with the following information included (please include a cover page, double-space, use a 12-point font, 1″ margins, and number your pages). Below is an outline; you do not need to respond to every bullet point in this order, but you should address these things somewhere in the narrative. I expect the paper will be 8-10 pages, but should be no more than 15.
