Alex just started working in the public relations department of the local housing authority (LHA) in Oakland, California. She decided to hold focus groups to get a better understanding of the different housing-related needs of the community. Melody speaks up in her focus group and tells Alex that she is struggling, because while her government-subsidized housing is affordable thanks to having a roommate, she is in danger of losing her job because of health issues. She knows the lack of nutritious foods in her diet is a big problem, but the nearest grocery store is in town 5 miles away, and Melody can’t afford a car, so she eats from the unhealthy selection at the local convenience store. She needs to attend weekly doctors’ appointments and renew her medications at the pharmacy, both also in town, but she can’t find anyone she trusts to take her. What function is within the LHA’s scope that Alex can employ in Melody’s housing project to best help her in this situation? a.) Collaborate with the local transit authority to add bus services into town b.) Dedicate ample space for a healthy community garden c.) Build an urgent care clinic that includes a pharmacy d.) Implement a series of health and nutrition classes
