The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I would create a street safety task force called the Street Angels who would be trained and equipped to help law enforcement protect the great citizens of Boston and also provide life, trauma, substance abuse and financial coaching.
Who it helps and why
I believe this project will create a sense of safety to the neighborhoods and will also create unity as we teach all self defense and have group coaching sessions which will target trauma and substance abuse topics. We also want to equip all with financial literacy, which can help people move ahead vibrantly. Life transformation is the goal and we will do it together.
