Item American Indians on the East Side of St Paul(2000) Community Outreach Partnership Center; American Indian Research and Policy InstituteItem Collaboration for Community Development in the Cedar-Riverside Neighborhood(Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, 2009-05-15) Corn, Jeff; Domansky, ScottThis report was the result of a research partnership between the Cedar-Humphrey Action for Neighborhood and Community Engagement (CHANCE) and the West Bank Community Coalition (WBCC). The purpose of this report is to determine ways in which neighborhood organizations, and specifically the WBCC, can be an effective collaborator within the Cedar-Riverside Partnership, Dania Partners, the University District Partnership Alliance, and any future collaboration that may develop. This report was based on a literature review of twenty articles, twenty interviews with members of collaborations within and outside of Cedar-Riverside, and five case studies of local and national collaborations for community development. The WBCC is currently the only organization within Cedar-Riverside that is a member of the Cedar-Riverside Partnership, Dania Partners, and the University District Partnership Alliance. While this presents an opportunity to promote community engagement, several barriers have been identified to collaboration including a need for a unifying mission, a lack of collaborative capacity, and barriers to communication. However, collaboration is seen as an asset, and there is hope within Cedar-Riverside for new leadership. The theories to collaboration presented in this report are based upon the idea of asset-based community development, which advocates identifying resources within the community that can be mobilized for community development. Additionally, several factors were identified as being present within both effective neighborhood organizations, and collaborations for community development. The five case studies revealed several overarching lessons for effective collaboration, including the need for a strong vision for collaboration, the importance of the structure of the partnership, and the need for an effective use of available resources. Additionally, the case studies showed the importance of staff, and displayed how effective collaboration can increase the prominence of an organization within a community.Item Cooperate and No One Gets Hurt: Cooperative Enterprise as a Tool for Community Development(Hubert H.

Happier people often are more productive and creative, have better family and social relationships, and in general are more successful. For urban planners, it is important to understand people’s daily emotional experiences as they move through cities, according to research by Yingling Fan, Associate Professor in the Regional Planning and Policy Area at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Are we creating neighborhoods and cities with emotional intelligence, capable of evoking positive emotions and reducing negative emotions?Item Human Services Data Book.

An Ecological Model of Aging was used to investigate this issue and included components of the physical and social environments and demographics of the sample. Physical environment characteristics investigated included housing type, housing tenure, and neighborhood. Social environment characteristics investigated included sense of community, place attachment, and safety. Typically, these characteristics are defined by the perspective of the dominant group of people who are studied. Minority groups’ perspectives are not often represented in research literature, given ancillary attention, or interpreted/misinterpreted by well-informed and well-intentioned individuals who may lack race consciousness or understanding of institutional racism. To resolve this issue, a qualitative research study was completed using data collected from 17 African American adults aged 65 years and older who live in non-institutionalized, community-based housing in Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Physical environment findings indicate housing type and tenure have a strong influence on African American elders’ overall well-being. Social environment findings suggest participants’ sense of place and where they live deeply impact their identity and satisfaction. It was also determined that there is interaction between the physical and social environments, which supports the Ecological Model of Aging. The socioeconomic status and security of a safe, decent, and affordable home, in a supportive and amenity-rich community, were also found to influence participants’ well-being. Ancillary to the study’s findings, this research also demonstrates the importance of race-centered research, suggesting racism be appropriately included as a form of environmental press in the Ecological Model of Aging theoretical framework. This study’s findings further suggest that to reduce disparities, researchers and policy decision makers must understand aspirations, needs, and challenges of African Americans and recognize the critical role of the homeplace in buffering the negative effects of racism, and, for those who are African American and poor, to buffer the negative effects of racism and poverty.Item Summary of Hope Community NPCR Research Assistantship Work(2008) Erickson, AlyssaItem There Goes the Neighborhood?
