- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- One of the challenges our audience face is the lack of housing, lack of services for their disability, lack of support from family, friends, and shelter staff, programs that are inaccessible to thrive in the city. Lack of funds, for them replace devices to help them live, lack of transportation access for their disabilities.
- Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
- We believe programming in the shelter would help our resident address these challenges by providing services for housing placement, job placement, and resources for their disability such as sign language , interpreters, access to medical devices such as hearing aids.
