Changes at "Transitional Shelter to Home Program"

What problem would you like to solve?

Re-imagine Shelters placement including how families are welcomed into communities

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

Current shelter system does not engage displaced persons into the communities where in they are placed

What idea do you have to address the problem?

The transitional shelter to home program will introduce families being placed into diverse neighborhoods to services and programs without them feeling like they have been \"thrown away\" adding to the stigma and the emotional distress of being homeless.

Who would that help?

Displaced Residents

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Far Rockaway
