Create a 1 to 2 page factsheet that summarizes your findings. Feel free to be creative in how the information is presented (infographic, brochure, flyer, etc.). Use bulleted lists, tables, images, graphs, charts, or any other visually appealing way to organize and streamline your information in a memorable manner, as appropriate. Be sure to use a professional template (such as those provided in Microsoft Word) and use clear and concise writing or graphics.

- To whom does it provide benefits/resources (if any)?
- Is there any flexibility in implementing the policy, or is it all specified by the federal level?
- How does this policy inform human services practice? Please be detailed in your response.
