Homelessness in my Community

Avatar: Community Member Community Member

What problem would you like to solve?

The problem I would like to see solve is poverty and homelessness.

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

This problem is important to solve as there is an increase in homelessness in my community and many people are living on the streets. This is relevant for the community as every corner we walk in this neighborhood we find a person sleeping on the floor.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

The idea I have to address the problem is building new shelters to allow those individuals living on the streets to have a place to rest their heads. Currently, I feel there isn't enough shelters as there are people living on the streets.

Who would that help?

Everyone

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
