Describe the challenge you want to address:
Within the community, there is a lack of services for older adults. A center should be created where they can receive information about housing, food services, and additional services they can receive. -People, especially young people with disabilities should have a place where they can have easier access to information.
What is the solution to the challenge?
A community center should be created for young people (adult) with disabilities. Access to information about literacy programs, how to apple for continuing education after high school, job opportunities, and other resources that will allow them live an independent life.
