This competency-based preservice home economics teacher education module on community resources for economically depressed areas is the third in a set of four core modules on teaching home economics in economically depressed areas. (This set is part of a larger set of sixty-seven modules on the Management Approach to Teaching Consumer and Homemaking Education [MATCHE]--see CE 019 901-967.) Following the module objective and overview, two units of instruction are presented: (1) identification of resources available to economically depressed areas and (2) analysis and utilization of resources available to economically depressed areas. Each unit includes the following elements: unit objective and overview, narrative summary, and suggested activities. Suggested resources and a list of references are also included. Appended is a food-resource handbook for Echo Park, California, and nearby communities. A module pre/posttest (with answer key) concludes the document. (Workshop proceedings relating to the development of these modules are available in the ERIC system as CE 019 896-899; also available is a module on utilizing FHA-HERO as an instructional strategy to expand and strengthen the home economics instructional programs ([CE 019 900].)
