Survey all 500 SRO buildings in the city to create a database. The survey should review the conditions of each building, their facilities and services offered the building residents. Such as community kitchen, storage space in each unit, access to water, the building's electrical status, community garden, or potential community garden site, microwave access, refrigeration access, proper ventilation for cooking, open space for BBQ, onsite food bank, etc.

Then every two to three year time-frame revisit each building and update and review the current conditions and make recommendations. Once and overview of this kind is created a more comprehensive plan could be created that prioritized the most needed food safety concerns.

Food Czar
Nutritional Center
Health Prevention Clinic
Drop-In Center
Sponsor Workshops in SRO Hotels
Speaker's Bureau
