City Atlas: New Haven | Content Submission!
About City Atlas: New Haven
City Atlas is a new project about the future of New Haven. We feature and promote the
sustainability goals of New Haven and Yale, and help connect members of the Yale community
to the city's new initiatives and civic organizations. We aim to strengthen the ties between social
justice, sustainability, and community building.
City Atlas: New Haven is modeled on City Atlas: New York (newyork.thecityatlas.org). City Atlas:
New Haven is the beginning of a network of sites in partnership with universities, drawing on
talented young people to create a new, locally relevant platform for a public conversation about
the future. (A project is beginning in China as well, at beijing.thecityatlas.org).
What we’re looking for:
You, Your ideas, and Your Creativity!
Do you want to get involved? Hone those communication, photography, or other skills? Are you
interested in sustainability, improving your city, or getting something cool in New Haven on the
radar? City Atlas: New Haven wants to help you do it!
We are looking for content that is local and relevant to New Haven. Therefore, we want to
invite submissions from all areas and perspectives across the city of New Haven who have
different stories to tell or “insider knowledge.” What’s your story? What do you love about New
Haven? What’s your vision for the future of New Haven?
If you are interested in producing content for City Atlas, we would like to know you can think
creatively and critically. Here’s the challenge:
- Pick an issue that you care about and that you think is relevant to New Haven.
- Come up with a brief pitch (a few paragraphs at most) that details
- What the issue is
- The population it affects
- Why it's important
- What future solutions might be out there
- What medium you might use to present all of this information.
**You can look to pieces on City Atlas: New York (http://newyork.thecityatlas.org/index/) for
guidance.
How To Submit:
Interested applicants should send a pitch of their idea and/or a brief sample of the medium they
are interested in producing via email to liana.epstein@thecityatlas.org with “City Atlas: New
Haven Content Submission” in the subject line. Please address the questions listed above and

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.
