Describe the challenge you want to address:

The rent is too high and needs to stop increasing; Rent should be lower for people who have lived somewhere long term and check if they are an immigrant; rent is too high for one person especially if it is a parent paying for everything

What is the solution to the challenge?

government vouchers (perhaps resource brokering to help people find the government subsidies and lobbying towards more affordable housing)
