Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.

Older Adults

Veterans

Unhoused People

Describe the challenge you want to address:

Unhoused people don't have access to resources such as socks, blankets, coats, towels, gloves, hats etc. Veterans don't know where to go & how to best access their benefits, & need help completing forms & navigating systems. These challenges are especially difficult for people who face addiction.

What is the solution to the challenge?

We want a program that helps unhouse people navigate systems knowing where to go & what is available to them. We really want veterans to know how to access their benefits & VA support. It would help them complete applications. We need a community member to step up & be a point contact for those facing mental illness, we need a walk-in place. We need a "warming center" program to provide access to blankets, hot coffee, & other food resources, food because they won't call.
