For this powerful documentary film, we’ve created a Learning Guide. The Learning Guide is a flexible resource featuring key sections. Each section can be used on its own or in collaboration with other key sections. As such, this guide is appropriate for classroom use, community learning settings, homeschool learners, hybrid educational settings and independent exploration of the film. The guide includes robust background information and helpful facilitation guidelines to set the stage for a positive learning experience.

There are five key learning sections in the guide. Each key section includes: a driving question, useful terms (when applicable), personal reflection, discussion questions, extension activities and additional resources. Furthermore, these sections can be used on their own or in conjunction with other sections in the guide.

The guide wraps with a #RaiseTheRoof Solutions Blueprint Builder and content-rich Appendices that include Case Studies, Further Context and a Glossary of Useful Terms.

Additionally, we’ve created a Google slideshow: Housing Inequality in the United States: A Brief History which can be used in conjunction with this guide or as a stand alone resource. The slideshow is also available as a PDF and can be previewed below. When you click Add to Cart, both the Learning Guide and PDF will be added to your cart.

Finally, this unique guide also features a solutions builder and appendices specifically designed with community organizations and governmental groups working to address the affordable housing crisis.
