10 Year Vision for Knoxville
To truly have more "Affordable Housing" throughout the city for those most in need of housing, especially those vulnerable and homeless citizens. To be a more inclusive city with the entire Knoxville community: east, west, north and south, and we need a more effective communication system accessible to all its citizens. A city providing more resources for those marginalized citizens that are often overlooked.
What is Knoxville's Best Kept Secret?
The resources available to its citizens within the nonprofit community provided by its nonprofit organizations.
What would you do to strengthen Knoxville?
Look for ways for its citizens to access resources 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it be, housing, food, resources such as gas, a bus pass to get to a new employment opportunity or the like. Resources to repair an inoperable vehicle that requires minor repairs. There are many persons within this city that if they only had minimal funds, they could get life back on track.
