Describe the challenge you want to address:
Many senior residents face challenges due to lack of information due to limited English proficiency
Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
The government should allocate resources to support community centers in starting programs and services dedicated to assisting senior citizens. These programs and services should provide information about public housing projects in the seniors' local languages, making it easier for them to apply. To address this, trained staff members of the center can not only inform seniors but also assist them in filling out housing project applications and applying on their behalf, ensuring that they can access suitable housing opportunities.
