The People's Budget
your voice, your choice
Elders go through a lot with dealing with health issues and the fact that they grow old. So give them free things that they desire.
This proposal has been rejected because:
Type of funding: Infrastructure (capital)
Rough cost estimate: Between $2 million and $7.2 million
Evaluation notes:
✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.
❌ This City doesn't have jurisdiction to do this idea.
❌ This idea names a vendor, which would violate open contract laws.
❌ This idea would incur costs indefinitely.
Justification: Medicare and Medicaid already available. City and County have housing options for seniors
Other notes: Health care access is available at the state/federal level. Housing for seniors are offered by County and the city funds housing projects.
Thank you for sharing your idea. This idea and its evaluation have been forwarded to the budget delegates. They will use this information to group together similar ideas, narrow down options based on community needs, and develop fully detailed proposals for you and your community to vote on in October 2023.
