Public Safety in nycha houses

What problem would you like to solve?

Public safety programs are not sufficient in NYCHA houses. Housing managers are not doing their job to promote public safety.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

We need to keep our seniors and vulnerable communities safe. Lots of youth are disrespectful and making seniors and vulnerable tenants afraid for their safety.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Safety monitors that walk throughout NYCHA complexes to promote safety. Facilitating conversations with community members on safety concerns.

Who would that help?

The community members

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Washington Heights/Inwood
