An initiative aimed at improving the quality of life in the city's Black communities is entering its final phase.The Indianapolis Urban League and the African American Coalition of Indianapolis hope to bring millions in funding to local nonprofits, with $29 million is available to support programs aimed at improving the lives of Black residents across the city.Applications are due by Aug. 11.Tony Mason, president of the Urban League, is a co-director of the Indianapolis African American Quality of Life Initiative, “It's about empowering communities and changing lives, so that's what we're doing through the IAAQLI.”The initiative launched in 2022 with a $100 million grant from Lilly Endowment.Mason said, “A third of African American families here in metropolitan Indianapolis are either poor or working poor. We have to put the opportunities and resources in place, to hopefully bring those families forward.”So far, more than 150 local groups have received support for projects in education, health, housing, arts and culture, leadership and civic engagements, and Black-owned business development to prevent further gaps in the community. Willis Bright, chairman of the African American Coalition of Indianapolis, is the a co-director of the initiative. “From the need for individuals to have employment with a living wage, to a house that meets code, to children that can learn about their history through community centers, etc.”The $29 million in new funding is available to eligible nonprofits. After funding goes out to this year's recipients, the organizations plans to evaluate the impact the initiative has had on the Black community. Bright said, “They can let us know that it has had meaning that, it has improved quality of life, that there are more people who've been able to receive employment, better housing and other indices that suggest it has been a successful venture.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Amy who helps to run community projects supporting women who are fleeing from domestic abuse by supporting them with holistic treatments and group sessions to improve their wellbeing and self-worth. During this conversation, Amy highlights the importance of having a safe place to go to as changes to relationships, environments, and belief systems are made, acknowledging that this can take time. However, by working through these issues, Amy wishes to highlight that a better life is possible. KEY TAKEAWAYSMaking sure that physical needs such as getting enough sleep and relaxation can be really important when making changes in your life.Support groups can be a safe space to explore healthy relationships and connections. It is important to be able to talk and safely express emotions.You deserve to feel safe.Our core attachments growing up can influence how we act and react in our adult relationships.When we can separate our behaviours from who we are as a person, it can help us to heal and grow. BEST MOMENTS“ I think if people feel like they can speak up about how they're feeling, it goes a long way because it can be very disempowering as a person to have to hold everything in.” ”That's the general message is you do deserve to relax. You do deserve to take time out for yourself, and you do deserve to be heard. And eventually, hopefully, you are safe. You can be safe.”“ So understanding that what's seen on the surface isn't always reflective of someone's efforts. So sometimes we need to look deeper to be supportive.” ”What are the reasons when people go back to living independently that lead them to find someone like that again? Like, are we teaching enough personal boundaries? Are they integrated in the community enough?”“I think more often than not, there is actually, you know, an unhealthy relationship dynamic coming from the core attachment growing up, because we learn our boundaries from that caregiver.”“That's kind of like always a theme I think when you're trying to offer support or even education, people have got to want to be ready, you know, to receive the help.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature. Equipped with advanced certifications in diverse modalities like hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, mindfulness, meditation, past life regression and many more she has honed her expertise to bring about transformative change.As a full-time therapist and trainer, Debbie's driving passion is guiding others, as well as herself, towards their best selves. Embracing the concept of holistic beings, she firmly believes in addressing the mental, emotional, physical, social, energetic, and spiritual facets of well-being and healing. Hosted on Acast.

This week, Wes, Sonia, and Noah are joined by Harvest elder Rick Lundgren as they discuss the second part of chapter 5, "Change Is a Community Project." Many of us tend to "individualize" our faith, treating community as a nice add-on but something that's not ultimately necessary. But the fact is that our life in Christ – and our pursuit of change through Him – is meant to be a corporate reality. Each of us has a personal, individual relationship with Jesus, but God's design and desire is that we live out this relationship in the context of Christ-centered community.Click here to purchase a copy of the book: https://www.amazon.com/How-People-Change-Timothy-Lane/dp/1934885533

There's no denying that pet care is expensive.Pet guardianship should not be only for those with means. The benefits of having pets – both physical and psychological – are well-documented. The problem, though, is that having a pet is expensive and one of the biggest expenses is veterinary care. It's that particular expense that causes so many people who for whatever reason don't have extra money to opt to rehome their pets. And that's just not fair.My guest this time is Liv Sigel. Liv is the founder and director of the Underdog Community Project. The UCP, founded in 2021, is a mutual aid non profit organization based in Los Angeles that focuses on increasing access to veterinary care for pets of those experiencing homelessness, living in shelter housing, or temporary housing.You can find the Underdog Community Project at https://www.underdogcommunityproject.org/.Big Wags Chicago is online at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.bigwagschicago.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

We catch up with a major Louisville nonprofit on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Tamera Reif, senior director of Housing Services at Volunteers of America Mid-States, is on this week's show to talk about a number of ongoing projects with the organizaiton. She spends her days in the world of residential homeless and housing work — a key issue affecting Louisville in recent years. She talks about how she is inspired to do the work.Volunteers of America Mid-States (VOA) broke ground on its new headquarters, the $58 million Community Care Campus, in September. Reif tells us on the show that one of the most exciting parts of that project is a new family emergency shelter, which will more than double the available space for families experiencing homelessness. The campus also includes transitional housing for 18 to 24 year old youths and respite care for homeless people leaving the hospital. The space will also include meeting rooms and partner spaces, she explains. And she speaks with LBF Editor-in-Chief Shea Van Hoy talks with Reif about how the campus project came together with the support of Louisville Metro Government.The start of construction comes nearly two years after Louisville Metro Government purchased the Smoketown properties on Breckinridge Street near Floyd and Brook streets for nearly $7 million. Existing facilities on the property included the Vu Hotel and Guest House as well as the C2 event space, which George Stinson and his partner Ed Lewis opened in 2016.The majority of the funding for the project is coming from the Kentucky General Assembly and Louisville Metro Government, which are contributing a combined $22.5 million, according to VOA's website. Low income housing credits are responsible for $19 million in funds and the VOA has been able to raise $2.5 million for the project to date. But that still leaves a $17.5 million gap in funding.The new campus is expected to fully completed in 2027 and will employ 75 people. Miranda Construction is handling the buildout of the Community Care Campus.

Last week, I sat down with Stephen Davies, a unique voice in sustainable architecture and community development. Stephen's journey from the gritty streets of Bolton and the Manchester party scene to a cycling enthusiast and socially-conscious designer in a quiet town in Cornwall was both unexpected and inspiring.He reflected on how personal challenges and a near-death experience shaped his perspective on life and work. His approach blends philosophical musings with practical solutions to the problems of globalism by embracing a localism strategy for building sustainable food systems, communities, and building practices. Stephen is particularly passionate about hempcrete, a carbon-negative building material that he sees as a game-changer for the construction industry and local economies.Stephen embodies the power of embracing change and is a testament to how personal transformation can drive broader social and environmental change.I hope you enjoy this refreshing and thought-provoking take on creating resilient communities in an uncertain world.

Between supplying fuel to military bases, planes, and ships, making and using weapons, and clearing land, militaries around the world account for almost 6% of global greenhouse gas emissions.A new report calculated how much the militaries of the United States and the United Kingdom would hypothetically “owe” if they paid for the damage caused by their carbon emissions. The total came up to $111 billion. So what can the military do about its emissions? And what does militarism in the context of the climate crisis look like?Ira talks with two of the report's authors, Khem Rogaly, a senior researcher at London-based think tank Common Wealth, and Dr. Patrick Bigger, research director at the Climate and Community Project, a progressive climate policy think tank in the US.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
