Event Description

What a difference a few years makes! 
Three years after being placed on the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation's list of the "10 Most Endangered Buildings in Connecticut," three prized commercial buildings in the heart of New Haven's Ninth Square National Register Historic District have been brought back from the brink.
PMC Property Group has transformed the buildings into apartments, using Historic Tax Credits and following Department of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation.
 
In July 2008, The New Haven Urban Design League and the New Haven Preservation Trust rallied to save the three commercial buildings in the heart of the ninth Square Historic District. Through press conferences, petitions and work with the City of New Haven Building Department and City Plan Department, the loss of the buildings was averted.
Come see and celebrate the results!
Thanks to Doug Hitchner, Project Manager, PMC Property Group, for opening the work to the public.

Sponsors: The New Haven Urban Design League and the New Haven Preservation Trust

New Report: A Close Look at the Reality of Community Violence Interrupters

Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Dr. Shani Buggs, eminent researchers and experts on the work of community violence intervention, have published, together with LISC, Supporting the Frontline Through Community Healing: Advancing Science on Violence Intervention Outreach and Trauma Exposure. The study, focused on safety efforts in Kansas City, MO, is a deeply researched and compassionate look at the trauma CVI workers confront every day and how to support the field so that practitioners “are protected from the same harms they work to prevent.”

“A Gateway for Possibilities”: Resident Leadership and Community Ownership

LISC's Institute for Community Power has published a new Spotlight examining three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners for distinct communities in different parts of the country: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia. Each group has leveraged the leadership program to inform and strengthen their work and, in turn, to serve their communities more effectively.

Mobile Home Residents in Washington State Are Calling the Shots After Buying Their Park

Manufactured housing, which 20 million Americans call home, is one of the few affordable housing options in the United States. The residents of two Washington State mobile home communities recently succeeded in purchasing their parks with help from ROC USA and over $2 million in financing from Rural LISC. As a result, they have been able to stabilize their housing costs, upgrade their communities and remain in the places they love.
