Describe the challenge you want to address:
From my own experiences, I've seen so many people who have disabilities or doesn't speak english have trouble grasping how to live in New York with finding jobs or housing and finding a safe community to exist if they're not 100% healthy/able-bodied, can speak English or popular languages, and are well-informed of the system and opportunities.
What is the solution to the challenge?
To solve this problem, there should be a well-known and heavily-marketed center where people who have trouble with housing/jobs due to language barriers/not knowing the system.
