Describe the challenge you want to address:
These people don't have easy access and understanding f the process of applying for low-income housing and the basics of finding places they can go to. Most is afraid of being scammed if they give out their personal information.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Set up work shops in the different communities that is widely advertised and easy to access. Having Drop in Centers in these communities to provide help to navigate the low -income housing process and have them staffed with workers they could speak the different languages in that community.
