Last year’s “Strong Families, Thriving Children,” was an interdependent, multi-sector exploration focused on the family unit. “Creating Vibrant Communities” is a holistic investigation built on the many interdependent elements of thriving at the community level. A vibrant community is – at its core – a healthy, supportive, and resource-rich environment for all. It is a community that inclusively taps human, economic, and natural capital to thrive and grow together. CREATING VIBRANT COMMUNITIES | 4 | 113TH ARIZONA TOWN HALL, 2020 Creating Vibrant Communities The task of creating vibrant communities asks us to understand root causes and structures in such communities and to collaborate across community sectors. It is our tendency to “break things down” and single-focus – to say, “we need better education,” for example. However, better academic performance is not just a function of teacher quality, school budget, or operation, but also of a child’s readiness to learn. A child who shows up with their prefrontal cortex “offline” due to lack of sleep, hunger, and/or household insufficiency and instability is physiologically deterred from entering learning. At best, the teacher’s task is great. Worst case, the education system alone will be considered to have failed. Seeing holistically and solving for vibrancy focuses on multiple causes and has the capacity to shift the odds significantly in favor of success for children, families, teachers, schools, and communities. Vibrant communities are the product of many components. While the topic asks us to think holistically, this report is structured to introduce elements of a vibrant community through an exploration of current models, existing data on emerging issues and trends, current systemic barriers faced by communities, and ways in which community action and policy change can create a healthier Arizona for all. What are the Components of a Vibrant Community? Community vibrancy is dependent on community well-being and health. This big picture view of health includes multiple domains, of which medical care is a small part – by most estimates, somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of – what determines a population’s health, and in turn, vibrancy. 1 This report examines community vibrancy through Vitalyst Health Foundation’s Elements of a Healthy Community – a framework built by statewide community partners using data and science from national and international sources. Fourteen elements are identified that are present and robust in vibrant communities. When all these elements are intentionally cultivated, coordinated, and mutually aligned, communities thrive and prosper. • Access to Health Care • Community Design • Affordable Quality Housing • Parks and Recreation • Community Safety • Social/Cultural Cohesion • Economic Opportunity • Social Justice • Educational Opportunity • Transportation Options • Environmental Quality • Health Equity • Quality Affordable Food • Resiliency 1 Magnan, S.

The Elements of a Healthy Community wheel was designed and produced by Vitalyst Health Foundation in collaboration with community partners. It is acknowledged that the model carries implicit Western bias – an issue Vitalyst has begun to address by developing a culturally-relevant tribal version. 3 Build Healthy Places Network. (2020).

CREATING VIBRANT COMMUNITIES | 6 | 113TH ARIZONA TOWN HALL, 2020 Why Is It Important to Build Vibrant Communities? To put it simply, the places we live, work, and play matter. In Arizona, a child born in zip code 85256 has a life expectancy of 65.8 years; meanwhile, a child born in the adjacent zip code of 85251 has a drastically longer life expectancy of 80.89 years.4 As that child grows, the ability to make healthy decisions throughout life depends on availability and accessibility of healthy choices. Communities are vibrant for all only when they have fairly offered options for different kinds of development, mobility, and autonomy, such as: (1) supportive spaces for community and development, (2) a diverse array of affordable, quality foods, (3) livable, supportive, and affordable housing, (4) educational attainment, and (5) economic opportunity. Crucial building blocks to a vibrant community also include pivotal social elements like equity, civic engagement, social cohesion, and community safety. Furthermore, they include air, water, and community elements both inside and outside of household living spaces. When community infrastructure is planned for sustainability, social connections, and well-being, then all Arizonans have the opportunity to thrive. How Do We Create Vibrant Communities?5 Driving change that creates resilient, equitable, and thriving communities takes time and intentionality. The following list details the ingredients necessary to create effective and sustainable change: 1. Shift the Paradigm: Elevate thinking about vibrancy beyond individual sectors and individual behaviors to include holistic social conditions, systems issues, and structural inequities. 2. Change Policies, Systems, and Environments: Transform problems by concurrently understanding issues “on the ground” and at the systems level - and develop transformational changes to address both. 3. Support Community-Driven Solutions and Build Trust: Work with a community rather than for a community. This includes a power-building, assets-focused approach that fosters community ownership and leadership from the outset. It all starts with trust.6 4. Utilize Multi-Sector Partnerships: Engage stakeholders from multiple sectors to improve vibrancy innovatively, efficiently,

Some lives are worth telling. The best memoirs happen when these two conditions converge. In The Glass Castle, they have." —New York Newsday "The Glass Castle is the kind of story that keeps you awake long after the rest of the house has fallen asleep." —Vogue Praise for The Glass Castle The autobiographer is faced with the daunting challenge of... attempt­ ing to understand, forgive and even love the witch Readers will mar­ vel at the intelligence and resilience of the Walls kids." —Francine Prose, The New York Times Book Review "A pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps, thoroughly American story." —Kirkus Reviews "Charles Dickens has nothing on Jeannette Walls, author of The Glass Castle, the unflinching story about her grueling, nomadic childhood.

I©m also grateful to my mother for believing in art and truth and for supporting the idea of the book; to my brilliant and talented older sister, Lori, for coming around to it; and to my younger sister, Maureen, whom I will always love. And to my father, Rex S. Walls, for dreaming all those big dreams. Very special thanks also to my agent, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, for her compassion, wit, tenacity, and enthusiastic support; to my editor, Nan Graham, for her keen sense of how much is enough and for caring so deeply; and to Alexis Gargagliano for her thoughtful and sensitive readings. My gratitude for their early and constant support goes to Jay and Betsy Taylor, Laurie Peck, Cynthia and David Young, Amy and Jim Scully, Ashley Pearson, Dan Mathews, Susan Watson, and Jessica Taylor and Alex Guerrios.
