Support and assist against drugs

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

The increase in public drug use throughout the day.

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

A tremendous amount of needle users during broad daylight has caused civilians to feel insecure in their own community.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

First, offer more NA groups and promote the group throughout the community. There shouldn't be a stigma around those who want to get help. Offer some incentives for people to attend. During sessions, offer resources to assist with their needs. This can range from housing, social services, mental health help, etc.,

Who would that help?

Drug users, and people in the community who want to be safe.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Manhattan.
