Sample Solution
wo of the most important needs/challenges/issues in my community are:

Why are these needs/challenges/issues important?
- Lack of affordable housing: Affordable housing is essential for everyone, but it is especially important for low-income families and individuals.

- Food insecurity: Food insecurity is the lack of consistent access to enough food to live a healthy and active life. Food insecurity can have a number of negative consequences, including health problems, academic problems, and social isolation.
Two practice changes or interventions I would suggest to address these needs/challenges/issues in my community are:
- Increase funding for affordable housing programs. This could include building more affordable housing units, providing subsidies to help low-income families afford rent, and offering housing assistance programs for people with disabilities and other special needs.
- Expand access to food assistance programs. This could include increasing the number of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) participants, offering more school meals programs, and expanding access to food banks and other emergency food assistance programs.
How these practice changes or interventions would address the needs/challenges/issues:
- Increasing funding for affordable housing programs: This would help to increase the supply of affordable housing and make it more affordable for low-income families and individuals.
- Expanding access to food assistance programs: This would help to ensure that everyone has access to the food they need to live a healthy and active life.
These are just two of the many ways to address the needs/challenges/issues of lack of affordable housing and food insecurity in our communities. It is important to work together to find solutions that will work for everyone.
