- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- I first moved to NYC 4.5 years ago and in the midst of Covid-19 my family of 6 had to enter the homeless department of NYC because my mother was unable to afford rent, and my experience in a homeless shelter, I generally felt severely unsafe. Robberies would happen 1 block from the shelter and at one point gun violence took place in front of my building.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- My idea is for low-income communities to funding for gardens and for people to volunteer and pick up trash/as well as funding for housing buildings to have elevators and cameras.
