- First, we must create our first Public Health Department capable of addressing the root causes of homelessness. Next, prioritize solutions that vulnerable communities needs, such as more affordable housing and access to drug use rehabilitation.
- Second, we will utilize a public health policy framework to engage our communities more effectively. We must meet our community members where they are, and no longer exclude people from the decision making processes of our city.
- Third, once we stabilize our communities, we'll set our sites on becoming the capital of any industry of our choosing, whether it's arts, film, or renewable energy.
