What problem would you like to solve?

Mental Health Crisis

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

Police response to a homeless or mental crisis only antagonizes the community

No police = Emergency mental health response team. Police freed up for other work.

Police and the community

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Port Richmond
