Last week, employees from our Detroit branch served the public good by volunteering with the Miracle League of North Oakland. Volunteers helped players with physical and cognitive disabilities bat, field balls, and run bases.

I want to kick off April and take a moment to recognize Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month. More than 5.6 million Americans are living with limb loss and limb difference. 🦾🦿 Ways anyone can recognize LLAM: 1. Advocate for legislative inclusive change 2. Talk to community leaders about inclusive playgrounds 3. Promote ADA standards in the community 4. Support disability-owned businesses 5. Donate to organizations that advocate for those with disabilities 6. Hire people with disabilities 7. Create inclusive spaces for everyone For the limb loss community: 1. Participate in a support group (The one I co-host is the last Tuesday of each month) 2. Participate in “show your mettle day” 3. Challenge assumptions

3rd attempt to post. Though at DEA they are not so proud to highlight their shortcomings that they have no issue hiding from taxpayers. They removed my previous posts which simply expresses DEA's willingness to hide their incompetence and disabled comments on the appropriate post. If this firm put out the truth and numbers of how many things they had to redo on this Highway 20 Safety Upgrade between Corvallis and Albany OR taxpayers would have something to say about this firm’s laughable ranking. How about it DEA, put out an itemized list of everything that had to be done two or three times because it wasn’t done right in the first place and how much taxpayers money was wasted in the process. In my driveway alone they had to do multiple things more than once. No wonder ODOT never comes in on budget with incompetence like this! Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this! DEA was contracted for at least the Newberg-Dundee Bypass, the worst one, up 239% from original estimate. https://lnkd.in/epv6uESx

When people serve their community, then the community will be better... In 2013, I was asked by DeVone Boggan to write a children's book to show that a positive investment in our young people could yield a safer and healthier community. Here is the dedication he wrote in the book, Be A Change Agent For Your Community: "Our work as a community must be aimed at increasing security, clarity, and maturity in our young people. We must acknowledge that each of our youth is born with a gift that the community needs. As healthy adults, our role is to see these gifts and help our youth deliver them to the community. When we facilitate this role effectively, we ensure a healthier place to live, learn, work and play. We are honored that you are reading this story and hope that it motivates any change necessary and required of you to be the CHANGE AGENT that you were born to be – you were born to make a difference in your generation. The difference you make can be unfocused or powerful; oversold or indispensable; recreational or transformational, you get to decide. Be the positive difference that your family and community needs – your community awaits! When one truly desires to LIVE, better decisions are made, lives are changed, and conditions are created that help to transform a city!” –DeVone Boggan I couldn't said it any better! Mr. Boggan has gone on to create a nonprofit https://lnkd.in/gvPggCgg that continues to use this dynamic approach to bridges the gap between anti-violence programming and a hard-to-reach population at the center of violence in urban areas, thus breaking the cycle of gun hostilities and altering the trajectory of these men’s lives. Please check out the work that this organization is doing to change and save lives!

2023 was the first full year the redesigned Coburn Place program for survivors was in existence. It was gratifying to see vastly improved program performance and increased survivor satisfaction in our data. We are still digging in, but preliminary analysis for Rapid Rehousing clients gave us another reason to feel hopeful – Coburn Place is having solid initial results in our part of the city’s goal to reduce Black homelessness by 35% by 2025. Looking only at RRH, 65% of all households were made up of Black survivors and their families. Of the 16 Black households who exited the program last year, 94% exited to permanent housing. 100% of Black survivors who reported income upon enrollment at least maintained that income, and 33% of Black survivors increased their income. We're still in early stages, but it’s clear Coburn Place has a critical role to play in reducing Black homelessness in Indianapolis. #homelessness #indy
