What SOWK 432 Week 2 Community Resources Project asks for
You complete a project on local resources for older adults in your community, submitted as a brochure, pamphlet, website, presentation or paper. Each resource includes a definition of the service and how it serves older adults or their families. Resources address the continuum of care and explain how each is funded, such as self-pay, Medicare or Medicaid, or local and state taxes. The project includes at least 4 references in current APA, including the text, and a detailed focus on how local churches have aided or could aid the community. It is due in Module/Week 2 with McInnis-Dittrich chapters 2 and 3. Worth 175 points.

The SOWK 432 Week 2 method, step by step
See where this piece sits in the project
Community Resources Project is one stage of a larger project. Read the full project description first so this stage feeds the final submission instead of standing alone.
Choose a subject you can research
Pick a real organization, product or setting with enough public information to support every stage. A subject that runs out of data halfway through is hard to recover.
Answer the questions this stage asks
Turn each question in the stage instructions into a heading and answer it with specifics about your subject, not general theory.
Apply the course model
Bring in the course framework the stage expects and apply it explicitly to your subject's facts.
Support with sources
Cite the facts you use (At least 4 references including the assigned text). Industry reports, filings and journal articles carry more weight than websites with no author.
Format, length and teamwork
Check length (Not set in the guide; follow the project instructions) and APA. For group stages, split the sections early and leave a day for one person to unify the voice.
Organize resources by level of care, give each a short definition, who it serves, how to access it and how it is funded, and add a section on what local churches provide or could provide.
