AI Infrastructure for Women Entrepreneurs in Public Housing

This project integrates human-centered AI tools into NYCHA's Childcare and Food Business Pathways to support women entrepreneurs in public housing. Building on proven, resident-led business accelerators, the solution reduces licensing, compliance, and administrative barriers that disproportionately impact women with caregiving responsibilities. Multilingual, care-aware AI copilots will streamline business formation, regulatory navigation, and financial readiness, enabling women to formalize, sustain, and grow businesses while strengthening local economies and essential care infrastructure.
