This competency-based preservice home economics teacher education module on government housing programs is the second in a set of three modules on housing 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) regulatory agencies (with a lesson on housing agencies) and (2) government housing resources and income (with a lesson on government housing income restrictions). Each unit includes the unit objectives and an overview. Lessons contain narrative summaries, and suggested activities and resources. Appended are comparative elements of federally assisted housing programs; Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program existing housing (applicant and owner information); and explanation of the housing authorities of the city and county of Fresno. 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 are objectives and suggested activities utilizing FHA-HERO as an instructional strategy to expand and strengthen the home economics instructional programs [CE 019 900].)
