Describe the challenge you want to address:

We want to address the challenge of gentrification in lower manhattan, specifically the issue of rent prices rising which causes residents and tenants to be displaced when they can't make those higher payments.

What is the solution to the challenge?

Our solution is to work with nonprofits and have them cohabit with these revitalized or upgraded buildings so they can take on the price difference from the inevitable rise in rent prices, so tenants can stay in their homes and pay the same amount for rent.
