Yes, it is possible.
You will get a lot of no it isn't possible but this is because most of the people complaining about rent in this forum want cheap rent in exactly the location they want to live. I'll get downvoted for saying it but it is my observation. Yes, stupid soulless apartment complexes can suck. Yes, living in Washington Park or South Providence comes with negatives. Sure, Woonsocket or Chepachet are pretty far from everything as RI goes. But you can find places.
The problem is that in this forum you will basically get the same 8 neighborhoods recommended, and then people will complain that they can't afford the rent. You can scream about housing as a human right etc. but we still live in a capitalist market society. When everyone wants to live in the same place, it makes it more expensive.
Now, beyond reddit, it is still a problem - your $1500 budget is actually pretty generous by RI standards (i.e. income and 30% rule) and there are a lot of people that can't afford that. There is a lot of work to be done.

Media/information literacy is already being incorporated into public school curricula across RI and the US in general, though not to a huge extent. I worked for the Media Education Lab on their Media Literacy in RI Report Card project, which analyzed how/if media literacy was being taught in RI. You can see the results here: Media Literacy Report Card
Part of the reason for initiatives like the one in the article OP linked to is to raise awareness for the need for media literacy education in schools.

I’m also an illustrator. If you live in RI, you can apply for an artistic exemption to sell limited edition signed works of art sales tax free, be at live craft fairs or an online shop. I love that aspect!

These are the zeppole I remember having back on Long Island at church fairs as a kid. Fried and served in a paper bag filled with powdered sugar. No cream filling or anything else.

I really like the idea behind this, but it seems like a gigantic waste of money
Who the fuck named it Courageous? How the hell is that adjective relevant for fighting misinformation?
It's just virtual training online? No one is going to watch it.
It needs to be incorporated into schooling, although that's an impossible ask with the current state of schooling in this country.

I just rented a place for $1525 in Cumberland. It’s nice too. I’d rather keep a good tenant than make a little more

Lol aaand here is the person that spews nonsense because that’s the way they feel and not actual facts.
Anywhere in a royal blue state like RI the laws favor the tenants.
