Describe the challenge you want to address:

I drove by a family shelter located on Flushing and st. Nicholas, I saw a group of individuals on a line waiting to have their hair cut by another man. It seemed like those from the shelter were helping eachother out

What is the solution to the challenge?

A program that helps immigrants/migrants, black community - hold classes that offer a license while in the shelters too help them leave the shelter with the means - combine it with volunteer hours for practice, good citizenship + predictability. A short term program to allow a realistic view of the completion of the program.
