Human Services: An early childhood development program to
serve 2- and 3-year-olds with structured activity. The program would
utilize the new parks. It would not be just a babysitting service.

Team.) |

Human Services: Expansion of existing health programs to
include attention to mental health issues, particularly recognizing that
stress causes violence and addictions. (Originates from community forums
conducted by Ranken Health Committee) |

and health of persons served by the FPSE caseworkers based at Midtown

Housing: Sustain the supply of housing affordable to a
majority of FPSE residents by using: a land trust; sweat-equity techniques
to control construction costs; universal design to serve families with
senior and disabled members; and solar and geothermal energy to control
long-term utility costs. (Community Council proposal, September
2002.) |

Economic Development: Improve the "front doors" of
existing businesses (between three and eight of them). As the Main Street
Report of October, 1998, notes, small steps work and quality does not
require "upscale" price tags. Emphasis will be on businesses serving the
neighborhood. (Based on initial Mainstreet study included in the FPSE
1999 draft plan.) |

Economic Development: Use the model of old electric and
phone cooperatives to establish high-speed, wireless internet connections.
The coop would first connect service providers, then businesses, and then
residences. Main goals are: more participation in neighborhood governance;
community-oriented policing efforts; and literacy-, job-, and family-skill
development for children and adults. (Community Council endorsement of
April 2000, as renewed in September, 2002.)

Human Services: A reading improvement program for first
and second graders at Adams School. This would use computer kiosks where
students could proceed at their own pace with some teacher supervision.
(Suggested by Ester Shin as staff for Adams Park Community
Center.) |

Economic Development: Directories giving neighbors'
interests and capacities, with each person choosing what information, if
any, they want in the directory. With such directories (by block or block
groups), neighbors can contact one another for needs, thereby building the
community from the inside out. (June 26, 2001, recommendation of Community
Council with supplemental work by Phil Heagney.)
