We had the pleasure of celebrating the approval of the Los Angeles Metro Long Beach-East LA Corridor Mobility Investment Plan, an event we also had the privilege of planning, with our incredible Community Leadership Committee, Task Force members, and partners. Thank you to all who attended! 🎉 This plan marks a significant milestone, redirecting funds from the I-710 South freeway widening project into transformative, community-driven transportation initiatives. We’re proud to have played a pivotal role in the community outreach efforts, ensuring that the diverse voices of the LB-ELA Corridor were heard and valued. #CommunityOutreach #MobilityInvestment #LBELACorridor #MetroLosAngeles #TransportationTransformation #ArellanoAssociates

YESTERDAY at #SolaceSummit23 our co-Founder and Director of Research and Policy, Mark Hepworth, joined Brentwood Borough Council's multi-sector panel focused on improving housing quality, accelerating pathways to #NetZero and the launch of a ground-breaking initiative titled #SixStreets The full line-up of panelists, chaired by Daniella Barrow MRICS of Norse Group Limited included Jonathan Stephenson of Brentwood Borough Council & Rochford District Council, Jonathan Digges of Octopus Investments, Paulette McAllister FRSA of Brentwood Borough Council, and Richard Gawthorpe BSc. MRICS of Norse Group. The pioneering Six Streets initiative is a practical demonstration of partnership building focused on unlocking the benefits of place-based impact investment (PBII). The initiative builds on our #SouthEssex PBII Innovation Lab that brought Council representatives together with senior investors, fund managers, and other stakeholders. The Lab confirmed the potential for public-private partnership working with communities to accelerate delivery of good homes in low carbon neighbourhoods. Mark said: "Everyone should have a decent home and live in a thriving community. Six Streets is about making this a reality through Place-Based Impact Investing. It's a great example of ‘grassroots innovation’ in The Foundation Economy – here, housing and health - that impact investors should get behind and make happen. There are a million streets like these six. Only then, will we make the House of the UK a decent place to live in." At TGE we will support the Six Streets team through our new #PBIINetwork, co-hosted by the Institute of Economic Development and the Impact Investing Institute. We also look forward to amplifying the transferable learnings from their transformative journey to shape the future of housing and environmental sustainability in Brentwood and beyond. https://lnkd.in/eAP8gneW #UKHousing #HousingQuality #NetZero #Sustainability #PBII #PlaceBasedImpact #TheGoodEconomy

Interested in the critical *narrative infrastructure* required to support new narratives for a transformed economic system? Definitely read Trevor Smith's latest in NPQ! "We must start investing in our narrative and social infrastructure, which is maintained by a set of relational and cultural systems, in the same way that we invest and sustain our physical one. At the core, that would mean building the capacity and ability within movements to study the theories behind narrative and culture change, conduct the type of psychographic segmentation that allows us to better understand our audiences beyond race and gender, and create beautiful articulations of the vision of the world we are trying to create. Doing this would allow for the durable progressive policy change for which we so desperately fight."

"Telling our stories—those of grief and marginalization, but also of wins and reimaginings—are how we secure greater love and ease for our people; buy in for our emergent ideas; and the political power necessary to make our dreams reality." In our latest blog, we share 10 lessons learned from the narrative change trainings that the Communities Transforming Policing Fund and Spark Justice Fund, in partnership with Resonance, provided to their grantee partners. Borealis awarded each participant $5,000 because we believe in the transformative impact of narrative change, and we encourage our funder peers to include resourcing narrative change in their funding strategy. https://lnkd.in/gJRYtEkE 📸 : Narrative Initiative

Excellent ideas and energy at the Land Trust Alliance Rally 2023 underway now in Portland, OR. The focus, grit, and creativity of the staff and volunteer leaders of land conservation nonprofits nationwide is inspiring. Land trusts, public/private cooperation, cross-border strategies, landscape-level planning, and climate adaption are some of the powerful approaches that are reshaping conservation in the U.S. today. Increased public funding is making new progress possible; now, private philanthropy needs to keep pace.

Excellent campaign well done to all involved.
In consultation with Greening the West, Moonee Valley City Council is proud to announce the launch of the One, Two, Tree campaign🌳 The campaign encourages the community to plant trees on private properties to help achieve the city’s canopy cover target of 30% by 2040. A series of videos will be released on social media over the next few months, promoting the benefits of trees, giving examples of trees residents can plant in different sized backyards, and showing residents how to plant a tree. One, Two, Tree was funded by a $140,000 grant from the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions. The Victorian Government’s Metropolitan Partnerships Development Fund (MPDF) supports the Metropolitan Partnerships to act on local priorities, informs the Metropolitan Partnerships’ advice to government and supports Melbourne’s social and economic recovery. This project was funded under the MPDF to address and support the priorities of the Western Metropolitan Partnership.
