Describe the challenge you want to address:
in the Bronx one in every 3 older adults face challenges due to language barriers. Many do not benefit from resources or have a support group to help them navigate through programs and learn whatever knowledge is needed.
What is the solution to the challenge?
creation of a hub that host workshops and offer a specialist/case manager to assist w/ leases, medical insurance, meals, tech support and connecting older adults with home health aides who speak the same language. The specialist should speak different languages and/or program should have translating equipment and adequate training. CBO's can use thier spaces or partners to hot these events/spaces.
