Casey Foundation, Baltimore, Maryland iv contents 2 Introduction 3 Family-Centered Community Change 6 Fostering Collaboration and Trust 8 A Closer Look at the FCCC Communities 16 Reflections 19 Looking Ahead 20 Endnotes introduction All children, no matter their background or where they grow up, should be able to live in a financially stable family and a thriving community that supports their healthy growth and development. They should have the opportunity to discover and realize their full potential — not only for their sake, but for the strength of our communities and the future prosperity of our nation. Yet in the United States, 30 million children live in low-income families,1 even though the economy has improved over the past several years. For them, especially youth of color, the daily stresses of poverty push that dream further and further out of reach. Despite valiant efforts from local programs and providers to offer support, isolated approaches have kept many families from breaking the cycle of poverty and building a better life for

  • Columbus Urban Forestry Master Plan
    COLUMBUS URBAN FORESTRY MASTER PLAN SPRING 2021 A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Columbus residents deserve cleaner and more prosperous neighborhoods with plenty of green space, air that’s easier to breathe and safe drinking water. This is why the City of Columbus has worked with community partners to build a robust strategic plan for our urban forest as part of the city’s equity agenda. Our city’s trees significantly affect our neighbors and neighborhoods. In Columbus, we experience 90-plus degree days every summer, worsening air quality concerns for children fighting asthma across the city. In general, cities are hotter than rural areas, and our opportunity neighborhoods are even hotter due to historic disinvestment and the legacy of redlining. Extreme heat also increases the potential for heatstroke and other health concerns. Columbus’ trees benefit our residents by shading homes and streets, improving air quality and public health. Trees filter and absorb water to reduce flooding, and research shows that more trees in neighborhoods are linked to less crime. The Urban Forestry Master Plan is a blueprint for revitalizing our urban forest and strategically investing in those neighborhoods where trees will do the most good. As a city, we are committed to working together to implement key action steps that will make the Urban Forestry Master Plan a success. Collaboration across all departments will continue to be essential to stop tree canopy loss, ensure an equitable tree canopy across the city and reach our goal of a 40% tree canopy citywide. The Urban Forestry Master Plan is for the entire community — both public and private landowners.
