Researchers have made the case that adopting practical applications of cultural competence in LIS education is crucial for supporting marginalized communities. This project suggests an approach to this application: LIS education programs can implement service learning courses in partnership with organizations that support houseless communities. Through research and interviews, a process was created in which LIS programs and partners use Participatory Design and Asset-Based Community Development techniques to sustain the course. It can be further sustained by establishing a dedicated research group to nurture the partnership and publish results.
