Describe the challenge you want to address:

1) Healthcare - premiums, co-pays, and medicine are super expensive and eat away at our small social security. 2) We have a long wait to get into clean, modern public housing. 3) Seniors who live alone are vulnerable to having unclean homes and no care for daily living. 4) Seniors with small income from social security expense for rent, utilities, and food, need help with food. immigrants don't know our history = disrespect

What is the solution to the challenge?

1) provide free healthcare and medicine for older adults. 2) change the minimum income limit to be reflective of the high expense of living in NYC. so folks can get food stamps. 3) provide free in-home care for older adults who live alone. provide easier access to modern senior housing. Immigrants - teach them American history including Black history
