Describe the challenge you want to address:
I feel like all the groups I chose all share one of the square challenges, and that will be housing. The cost of living is already high enough for low income people, new immigrants, veterans and just in general everybody in New York. Wages are low for most of the people in NY so why not give more job opportunities for everyone and raise wages so the cost of living can be affordable.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Give more job opportunities for everyone while also raising wages for those already existing jobs. Some lack training to even get jobs so invest in job training facilities.
