Prompt
Clinic meeting: rising housing and food concerns in one catchment; a parent waits for a housing letter; a resident proposes an immediate media campaign.
Opening (candidate)
I would split the work into two tracks. First, the parent waiting for a housing letter needs same-day clinical advocacy and safety planning. Second, the catchment pattern needs a structured needs assessment with partners before any media campaign. [1] [8] [22]
