Healthy Food Access: Improve Resident Health. Save Site Money (from Assisted Housing Management Insider)
Residents at assisted sites often have difficulty finding affordable and healthy food. Assisted sites are often located in neighborhoods where food options are limited to convenience stores, liquor stores, or fast food restaurants that offer low-cost but unhealthy snacks and meals. Supermarkets, grocery stores, and other retailers that offer fresh produce and other healthy food choices either may be miles away, making it difficult for residents without transportation to shop for healthier options, or may be too expensive for low-income residents to afford the healthy food.
Indeed, low-income residents who try to buy more produce and other healthy food can spend a disproportionate amount of their monthly income on food, making it more difficult to pay their other expenses. They often must make difficult monthly decisions, whether to use their limited income to buy food or to pay other household expenses, such as their share of the unit’s rent, utilities, healthcare, telephone, and transportation costs to get to or look for work, says Jan Kasameyer, resident services program supervisor at Home Forward, the housing authority in Portland, Ore.

Community Assessment: Obesity in African American Families

Community Assessment: Obesity in African American Families
I currently live in Houston, Texas, a large metropolitan area. There are several smaller communities in Houston and surrounding areas, so I chose to focus on a community on the northern side of town. For my community assessment, I am interested in finding interventions and prevention programs for tackling obesity in African American families. I frequently volunteer at Kujawa Elementary, a local school that has a high percentage of African American families. The school recently held a family night to present some accolades from the previous year, along with introducing the programs available to children and families. I chose this setting to conduct the windshield survey as I had the opportunity to survey several different families at once.
Windshield Survey Findings
Houston is located within Harris County, a large area that covers millions of people. Kujawa Elementary services a few different zip codes, so I chose to use the demographics of the school’s zip codes since the survey was conducted at the school. There are approximately 28,552 people in this community and the median household income is $41,119. 16,192 persons are White, 7,085 are Black/African American, 236 are American Indian, 2,020 are Asian, and 17,552 are of Hispanic ethnicity. 25.1% of individuals in this community live below the poverty level. This community is known based on the school district it is located within, so it is often referred to as the Aldine area. There are several neighborhoods surrounding the school, in addition to two large apartment complexes. One of the complexes is next to the school and the other is across the street from the school. A major highway is less than a minute from the school, but there are no bodies of water nearby. The neighborhoods consist of homes that were built as early at 1939 and as late as 2017 as there is plenty of new construction in the surrounding areas that are zoned to the school. The condition of the area varies based on the street you drive on as some are well kept and others have seen better days. There are older shopping centers closer to the neighborhoods and then newer shopping centers closer to the highway. There are some community members walking around to the local store or the bus stop as public transportation is nearby, even though most of the community uses their personal vehicle for transportation. People hangout at the park at the school and there is a county park a couple of blocks from the school. The areas near the parks appear to be well kept and there are also doctor offices for different specialties in addition to an urgent care facility. Lastly, the area has several different businesses, ranging from hotels, grocery stores, clothing stores, restaurants, children’s play center, etc.
After directly speaking with 10 separate A ...
Owners and managers of affordable housing sites are in a unique position to provide greater healthy food access to their residents, says Bomee Jung, deputy director at Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. (Enterprise) in New York City. Many owners and managers recognize how important fresh food access is for the health and well-being of their residents and are adding healthy food access programs to the amenities and services they offer. We’ll tell you how increasing healthy food access will benefit your site and give you information about the types of food access programs you can consider creating at your tax credit site.

How Can Community Leaders Help Low-Income American Families Overcome Barriers...Samantha Pennington
For families surviving on low-incomes in the US the problem of food insecurity is anything, but simple. The complexity of the interactions between sociological, environmental, economic, and political inequalities make deciphering barriers within the food system a difficult task, but not an impossible one. Extremely effective ways to combat food insecurity which simultaneously chip away at the long standing and powerful system which marginalizes and disenfranchises huge sections of our nation’s population exist. Changing our food system to a more just and equitable one demands building community power at the grassroots level, altering policy to change the day-to-day experiences of low-income American families, and recognizing the deep importance of diversity, inclusion, and collaboration.
This community Food Profile is intended to give readers a better sense of how producing, processing, distributing, retailing, preparing and eating food influence and interconnect a community’s economic, ecological and social well being. This Profile focuses on the Southern Iowa Resource Conservation and Development seven county area which includes Adair, Adams, Union, Clarke, Taylor, Ringgold and Decatur.

2012 ASFS/AFHVS/SAFN Conference Global Gateways and Local Connections: Cities, Agriculture, and the Future of Food Systems
Carolyn Zezima, Director of Food and Nutrition Initiatives, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Despite increasing recognition that fresh, healthy, local foods are scarce in low-income communities, and the creation of a number of healthy food initiatives targeting these communities, historically underserved communities still lack novel, profitable, and sustainable businesses that supply healthy, affordable and taste-satisfying foods. Bringing together the business and public health sectors, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine invited business students to submit concepts and plans for viable, market and community-driven business solutions to one of our most pressing public health needs: healthy, affordable food in underserved communities. The proposed enterprises must have served communities with limited availability to healthy foods, be tailored to the particular assets and challenges in the communities, and must be developed in consultation with target communities. Proposals were judged by a panel of experts in business, food and local government. Teams competed for $25,000 in start-up funds and other business support services.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

1. Food justice?
“Food Justice is the right of communities everywhere to
produce, distribute, access, and eat good food
regardless of race, class, gender, ethnicity, citizenship,
ability, religion, or community. Good food is healthful,
local, sustainable, culturally appropriate, humane, and
produced for the sustenance of people and the planet.”
By: Laura Oregel
2. “The food reform movement is predicated on rather
shaky foundations with regards to how it deals with
race and other issues of identity.”
Looking at wealthier neighborhoods and
neighborhoods that are considered poor, the
differences are apparent.
Wealthier neighborhoods tend to have high quality
restaurants and high quality supermakets.
Poor neighborhoods have fewer supermarkets and
instead have more liquor stores, and fast food places
*
vs
3. These poor neighborhoods are usually filled with African American and
Hispanic origin. These neighborhoods are filled with horrible food
choices, and is cheaper than healthier foods but many people can’t
afford anything but fast food, and are not willing to drive miles to find
healthy options.
* People think about racism as an individual act of prejudice or
discrimination from one person to another. That’s not what it’s
about. It’s about systems, structures and institutions.
4. *
*This organization is well known for for women who have been the leaders
of many grassroots and mobilizing efforts to improve the lives of farmworker
communities. “Líderes Campesinas provides these long-time leaders and
activists with the opportunity to coordinate their work statewide and has built
collectives so that campesinas may become agents of change and be a
more stronger voice.
*They carry out research, analysis, advocacy and education with
communities and social movements for informed citizen engagement with
the institutions and policies that control production, distribution and access
to food. The is to develop leadership among farm workers so that they
serve as agents of political, social and economic”
*
They are committed to end racism in the food system and believe
in people’s right to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through
ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their
own food and agriculture systems at home and abroad.
5. Immigrant Workers in the the Food System
There is minimal government oversight of regulation for H-2A
so guest workers leads to weak enforcement of worker and
protections in jobs where employee abuse is common.
If workers on H-2A visas lose their job, they are subject to
deportation. So temporary workers are put in an extremely
vulnerable position with little bargaining power.
Legal Recruitment of Immigrant Workers. The H-2A temporary
foreign worker program allows U.S. employers to hire workers
from abroad under a temporary work visa.
Foreign workers under H-2A are given guest worker status, and
are tied to the specific employer that recruited them.
To prevent “adverse effects” on the wages of U.S. workers, H2A requires employers to pay temporary immigrant workers at
least the local “prevailing wage” for the specific job.
6. Why Choose the Fresh
Way?
Fresh food is fresher because it does not contain all the
preservatives that packaged food has to offer. Fresh food like
fruits and vegetables are often produced on smaller farms
where they are sold. It is also healthier for the environment.
Farming reduces pollution in air, water, and soil. It conserves
water and uses less energy. The animals have a lot more
space to move around and are well cared for. Many people are
not privileged enough to even have this option to eat fresh fruit
and result to processed foods. This could be due to the social
classes and the convenience.
7. Some ways you can access fresher foods is by
growing your own garden yourself, this way is a
lot more affordable and is easily accessible.
This is also a great way for urban areas to
access wholesome foods.
8. Get Involved
There are internships at many places- A house internship spends most of
their time on administrative and office duties, and the majority will be spent
on a specific project.
You can Volunteer at different places as well. You can start by being more
aware of the issue and being more educated on the topic. You can collect
food and deliver them to neighborhoods in need.
There are many other issues when it comes to food justice but these are
the topics I wanted to go over, you can donate food to your local food banks
Here is a good website where you can start helping:
