-Consider adding the following to the end of the introduction about immigrants in Gainesville (data from New Economy Report, Oct. 2021. link)

“With immigrants contributing 1/4 of the population growth in Gainesville and currently making up 11.3% of the total population, it is imperative the city make greater efforts in providing equitable access to care for minority groups who experience these barriers. Only 13% of immigrants in the city receive Medicare or Medicaid, compared with 25% of US born Gainesville residents in 2019 as reported by the New American Economy, October 2021. In addition, 43.1% of immigrants in the city are not eligible to become a naturalized citizen making it difficult to access social services or receive any form of health care coverages.”

Where will this dedicated funding come from?

Suggestion

Would like to see a map for the lower income areas who have the least availability for transportation. Would like to see websites - well publicized- on clinics for physical and mental health in the lower income areas where there are few services and little or no insurance. The combination of lacking transportation, insurance or monies for health care, and lack of basic knowledge is very detrimental to our low/middle income citizens.
