"Healthy Life Plus: A Life Enrichment Program for Underserved Urban Populations in Tampa Bay, Florida."
In the heart of Tampa Bay, Florida, disparities in access to education, employment opportunities, and essential services persist, leaving underserved and underfunded urban populations at a significant disadvantage. To address these challenges, we have developed a comprehensive Life Enrichment program, titled "Healthy Life Plus," aimed at improving the quality of life for these communities. This essay outlines the rationale, goals, and methods for implementing this program, with a focus on gathering feedback and insights from Tampa Bay policies in low-income areas to refine and enhance its effectiveness.

To ensure the program's effectiveness, the essay outlines the use of two social work approaches: focus groups and surveys, which will gather valuable data to shape and refine the program.
