Abstract
Many people across the United States are struggling with basic issues such as housing. This enhances their vulnerability to condition such as diabetes. Among the African Americans, poor housing has been attributed to increased cases of diabetes. The project aims at understanding how many people acquired the condition due to factors related to housing. The project further aims at finding how their burden can be eased through the use of evidence-based approaches. The paper offers a description of the solution, application of the change model, evaluation of plan for evidence-based project, and implementation plan. Moreover, the budget, conceptual model, resources used, and relevant forms are appended as part of the submission.

Problem Statement
Even in a developed nation like the United States, millions of people are still struggling to access basic human needs such as housing. As of 2016, there were 135 million homes in the United States, of which 30 million have wanted health and safety hazards (Ross, Parsons, & Vallas, 2016). The hazards include inadequate heating, gas leaks, damaged plumbing, and exposure to lead paint. Such homes are disproportionately located in areas of concentrated disadvantage affecting low-income earners and minority groups. Burton (2007) found that poor housing conditions increase the risk of developing diabetes among middle-aged Black Americans. According to Berkowitz et al.
