Affordable housing for homeless people and older adults

Avatar: Community Member Community Member

What problem would you like to solve?

Better and more affordable housing for homeless people and older adults 

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

It's important because there are a lot of people living on the streets and as a result there is a lot of garbage outside

What idea do you have to address the problem?

There are many buildings being constructed in the area, of those buildings the city should set aside a certain percentage of apartments for affordable housing for low-income people, homeless people and older adults

Who would that help?

people from low-income backgrounds, homeless people and older adults

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Queens
