***Exclusive Photos from NEW HAVEN'S MOVEMENT: a Dance Showcase to End Youth Violence***

Hi GNH Community!  
Happy New Year 2013!  Thank You SO much to everyone who came out on Monday to support Carole's Future Project!  We wanted to share with you the beautiful photos from this very special event (HUGE thank you to Jeffrey Kerekes from "I Love New Haven"!)  Senior Carole Richardson of New Haven Academy truly brought her dream to life of bringing the New Haven community together to be inspired and entertained.  She is passionate about ending youth violence and wanted to build a Future Project that addressed that through dance and community-building.   "NEW HAVEN'S MOVEMENT: a Dance Showcase to End Youth Violence" took place on Monday at Hillhouse High School from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.  (I have attached the full program of this special event for your reference!)  We had an amazing turn-out of about 120 attendees that included students, adults, kids, and family members from all over New Haven and raised $333 for Save Our Sons mentoring program in New Haven.  You can see our WTNH Community Article here!  Carole worked so hard to make this event possible including reaching out and collaborating with dancers and poets from all over New Haven.  Although it was very challenging at times, she learned to creatively problem-solve, look forward and pushed herself to never give up even when she wanted to stop.  I am SO inspired by all her hard work and endless effort and for the amazing Future Projects developing in New Haven as we speak.  Thank you so much for your support.  We will continue to keep you in the loop of upcoming Future Project launch events as they develop!  Have a great day!

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.
