How can social care contribute to building healthy places?Fuse, the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health
Housing has long supported health and care by providing sanitary living conditions and accommodations to improve daily living. However, rising life expectancies, demand for care, and economic pressures are challenging these systems. Integrating housing, health, and social care can help meet growing needs, reduce costs through prevention and efficiencies, and achieve better outcomes for people. Innovative housing models like extra care facilities and developments tailored for dementia can enable independent living and avoid costly institutional care. Stronger collaboration and using opportunities like the Memorandum of Understanding are keys to building health into homes.Old Prices Fork Elementary Redevelopment Project

EAC-ETCETERA
Patrick Martin has over 15 years of experience in project and program management. He argues that most project managers focus too much on what has been completed rather than what remains to be done. This can mask issues like cost overruns at the task level. Martin proposes shifting the focus to accurate estimates of costs to complete (ETC) for each task. By involving functional managers and giving them ownership over tasks and budgets at a higher level, Martin believes projects can be better managed with more timely performance information and less conflict between project and functional roles.

Sandra henriquez 20111002 社會住宅國際研討會 keynote
The document summarizes lessons learned from the U.S. experience providing public housing since the 1930s. It discusses early challenges like racial segregation and poor construction. The HOPE VI program from 1993-2011 demolished distressed housing and rebuilt mixed-income, mixed-finance developments with private funding. This approach led to successes like improved structures, reduced crime, and social services for residents. Key lessons highlighted are the importance of collaboration, mixed-use new urbanism design, green initiatives, resident participation, and investing in quality affordable housing. The Choice Neighborhoods program applies these lessons on a broader scale.

Ted Howard: Community Wealth Building
Mr.William's presentation on Community Wealth Building for the Illinois Task Force on Social Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Enterprise.
Ted Howard on Community Wealth Building
The document discusses the prevailing economic development paradigm and proposes a new community wealth building paradigm. The prevailing paradigm focuses on subsidies to attract corporations, workforce training not linked to jobs, regional trickle down, and low-wage job creation. The new paradigm emphasizes democratizing wealth, focusing on local economies and broader ownership of capital through initiatives like employee ownership, leveraging anchor institutions, resident-owned housing, and cooperative business development. The agenda proposes specific actions Illinois can take to promote this new paradigm through a community wealth building center, refinancing employee ownership, investing state funds locally, supporting affordable housing, and convening roundtables.
