Idea Submission for The People's Money:: Social services and the welfare state are insurance for seniors in their old age. We believe that social services should receive increased funding, but the city should also increase spending on public housing. We also strongly feel that the city should drastically increase funding for educational initiatives, such as different afterschool programs, as well as grants and scholarships for NYC students to attend university free of cost
What is the problem your idea aims to address?: Education: if education were to receive greater funding and be understood as the foundation, things would be better. Without education, without loved ones, one has little to strive for, so we believe these things are the basis of society and its future
Which groups does your idea focus on? Select all that apply: Youth (under 24)

Older Adults (65 +)

Limited English Speakers

Immigrants / Migrants

Parents
