Play is essential for health and well-being. Every human being needs play every single day.

We cannot move forward as a city and a nation to build a more inclusive and prosperous society with economic opportunities for everyone without understanding the history of why we are where we are today. A documentary by filmmakers Bruce Orenstein and Chris L. Jenkins, "Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation," trace a direct line from white Chicagoans using everything from bombs to legal documents to prevent African-Americans from living in their neighborhoods. This created deeply entrenched segregation and is one of the main reason for today's wide chasm between Black and white household wealth. This important four part series premieres April 18 on WTTW-Channel 11. We all need to face the historic truth that for many decades in the 20the century, Chicago was an epicenter of the nation’s racist housing practices. Understanding our history is essential to learn, act, and change the trajectory of our city and nation into a brighter future for all of us.

Explore Inclusion! We know through extensive research that the key to effectively nurturing the potential of all people in play is dependent on inclusion. An inclusive recreation space is one of the best things a community can do for people. Inclusive play and recreation simply means no one is left out, and everyone-of all ages and abilities- can play to the greatest extent possible. A great inclusive space is more than just choosing products-the design should be based on validated, scholarly research, carefully considered products, and ultimately celebrate the voice of the community. At PlayCore/GameTime and DWA Recreation , we've conducted more inclusive research, designed more inclusive products, and helped create more happy, successful inclusive community stories. Be one of them. https://lnkd.in/gkpUa9Td

Here we go friends.... **Top 5 Take-Aways From Community Playmaker Issue 4** 1) Thanks to their Vision Zero initiative, Hoboken, New Jersey might be the safest place to jaywalk in the US. (Kidding. But seriously, read more to find out why) 2) Decisions made during the rise in mass production of cars have shaped cities and suburbs in a way that is being reconsidered. From adjusting zoning laws to reducing parking requirements, changes can be made to make to increase safety and walkability. 3) The Baby Boomers are turning into the Gray Tsunami. By 2030 there will be more than 73 million retirees in America. 4) Community Investment in the arts - not just for events like art fairs - but in business districts and zoning adjustments have a measurable impact on local economies as well as develop a strong sense of place. 5) Are parks critical infrastructure? When COVID hit, the answer was a resounding yes from people flocking outdoors for exercise and sanity, but four years later and parks budgets are still tight in many communities. https://lnkd.in/et2C7PAa

Haymarket Center and Thresholds, social service agencies were tapped by the CTA and the city’s Department of Family and Support Services to lead a plan for #homelessness outreach on the CTA's 24-hour Red and Blue lines.   The program's objective is simple: to enhance connections to #shelter and #housing. According to a CTA official, the program has already helped dozens of people into “better situations. However, a significant number still rely on the transit system for shelter. The agency's 2022 count revealed 564 people seeking refuge on trains and other CTA property, according to a 2023 report.   To create this train-focused outreach plan, these organizations have developed an approach that tries to recognize “all of the broad reasons that contribute to people's homelessness.”   Learn more about this initiative: https://shorturl.at/tHU19
