Want to know something surprising? Cleaning up and greening up a neighborhood and urban area can reduce crime. There are tons of studies on this topic, and they're not 100% sure why, but the fact of the matter is that a clean, tidy and welcoming space helps make an area safer. Maybe it's because when we clean up our shared spaces – whether it’s the sidewalks in your cul-de-sac or the playground on your block – we’re not just removing dirt; we’re creating an environment that fosters pride and connection. So, A tidy, well-maintained neighborhood can deter crime but it also boosts property values and make everyone feel more at home. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work making our community shine. When our neighborhood looks good, we all feel good. There’s something special about walking down a clean, sparkling sidewalk and knowing that we’re all taking care of our corner of the world together. 🏡✨

🚨🏚️🙏 Its been 6 months since Iowa's The Davenport Apartments collapsed Memorial Day Weekend. The structure, which received 146 enforcement actions for alarming signs of structural damage, claimed the lives of many. This calamity underscores the importance of stringent #codeenforcement. Proper enforcement and city planning can prevent such disasters. With over 146 enforcement actions taken in only a 3 year timespan, it's clear that a change in approach is necessary. It's time to prioritize safety and preventative measures in our communities.

Friday marks the 7th anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire, which claimed 72 lives. This tragedy highlighted the inequalities in our society, particularly in housing safety for low-income and ethnically diverse communities. Despite promises of reform, progress has been slow. Many buildings still have unsafe cladding, and numerous families live in substandard conditions. This ongoing issue highlights the need for urgent housing policy reforms and stricter safety regulations. We must ensure that such a tragedy never happens again and work towards a fairer, safer, and more equitable society. Like many organisations we will be observing a day of silence across all our media channels on Friday. #Grenfell #NeverForget #HousingEquality #SocialJustice #UKHousingCrisis

Safety is a top priority when choosing a new home. In Fresno and the surrounding areas, we have many safe and secure neighborhoods, but how can you be sure? Check local crime rates through websites like NeighborhoodScout or CrimeReports. Talk to your potential neighbors—they often have insights that statistics don't show. Drive through the neighborhood at different times of the day to get a feel for the area. Look for well-lit streets, active community watch programs, and nearby emergency services. A safe neighborhood means peace of mind for you and your family. Got safety concerns about a specific area? Let's chat and I'll share what I know! 🏡 Want tips on the safest neighborhoods around?

Congrats to our friend Rocket on his Ted Talk "Vermont: The Value of Hardship" for TEDx Hartland Hill's series, The Art of Living! What a refreshing take on the inherent BENEFITS of hardship: innovation, accountability, and cooperation - these are KEY qualities of Vermont living! Here at BRIC in Springfield, we're acutely and continuously aware of the myriad of challenges that rural life presents in the face of our community development efforts. If we're being honest, the list of obstacles and setbacks we encounter day to day often feels endless - like pushing a boulder up hill (both ways!) in the snow. Anyone boots on the ground doing this type of work knows it's not for the faint of heart, and in fact we often joke that you have to be a certain sort of glutton for punishment in order to ever actually make any progress. We know what we're doing is difficult, and that we're pushing against the odds with the things we're trying to accomplish - and somehow this awareness actually BOLSTERS our determination. The spirit of resilience and ingenuity is STRONG in Vermont. It's an inherent part of our identity. Whether it's snowstorms, early frosts, catastrophic flooding, workforce and housing shortages, food insecurity, busted leaking pipes - whatever the hurdle, Vermonters SHOW UP. We imagine possibilities, we work together, and we GET SHIT DONE. In spite of the challenges, there's nowhere we'd rather be! We believe in the power of our communities, we root for the underdog, and we WILL prevail. Thanks for the food for thought, Rocket! And for all that you're doing to help affect positive change here in Vermont!

Did you know there are 60 local NWTF chapters, in Tennessee? 61 if you include the state chapter, according to NWTF.org. There are 95 counties in Tennessee. What's that mean? There are opportunities to grow conservation efforts statewide! How? By getting involved and creating a new chapter in areas that don't have one. We have some awesome Regional Directors working in Tennessee that can help! The link is to the Chapter Guide manual and has solid information on how to get started. https://lnkd.in/d_sGbv4M
