Inspiration for Small Neighborhood Assistant Plan [SNAP] for Aging in Place

What it does have broken, buckled and overgrown streets and sidewalks for pedestrians.

How we built it with an app to connect with the City of Houston issues found in small neighborhoods.

Challenges we ran into lack of communication for aging adults to respond their issues.

Accomplishments that we're proud of data and visuals of the neighborhoods in real-time.

What we learned this issues need addressing to support aging in place.

What's next for Improve Houston Sidewalks Enabling Aging in Place reassemble the civic club, create SNAP for aging adults and Aging in Place neighborhood activities and meeting space.
