- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- People are not aware nor informed of their civic duty, responsibility, and rights. Rarely attend community board meetings and not familiar with neighborhood resources.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- Create workshops 1x a month to resolve lack of civic knowledge & issues. Support residents to be more informed. Ex. Undocumented individual having issues with rent arrear is taken to court for eviction notice. They may not want to go to court for fear of retribution or deportation. There should be workshops on educating them to address the situation.
