- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- \"Together for a Better Block\" addresses the challenges of a community experiencing exponential housing growth, an influx of new immigrants, and not enough city environmental services. These include maintaining community identity, building social cohesion, and addressing overburdened infrastructure.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- \"Together for a Better Block\" addresses challenges in rapidly changing neighborhoods by fostering environmental stewardship, community engagement, and social cohesion. Through activities like tree pit care, community gardening, and litter patrol pick-ups, residents—both longtime and new—collaborate to beautify shared spaces and build connections. The program includes workshops on sustainability, a tree pit adoption initiative, and friendly competitions like the \"Cleanest or Greenest Block Challenge,\" encouraging civic pride and participation. These efforts culminate in an end-of-season celebration, showcasing cared-for spaces, recognizing volunteers, and honoring the community’s collective achievements while celebrating its diversity and resilience.
