A
A
You
reach
that
11%
just
want
to
point
that
out
when
there's
also
things
for
here
like
median
income
and
total
homeowners
and
so
forth.
That's
all
important
information,
I
think
that
you
need
to
have
you
need
to
share
with
one
another
about
what's
going
on
in
each
one
of
these
areas
that
we're
getting
ready
to
talk
about
we're
primarily
getting
ready
for
this
next
session
to
talk
about?
A
What's
going
on
in
in
Bibb
City
the
obits,
a
area
of
the
city,
mouse
areas
so
forth,
and
we
want
to
lead
off
with
that
by
bringing
to
you,
but
on
the
catch
up
here,
Marquette
ignite
now,
Marquette,
of
course,
I'm,
not
gonna
I'm,
not
going
to
insult
your
intelligence.
You
are
reading
this
stuff
to
you,
fine
you
to
it.
A
New
York,
of
course,
mark
Marquette
is
the
founder
of
media
marketing
in
and
more
and
again,
I'm
like
I,
said
I'm,
not
gonna,
read
this.
This
brief
introduction
here
resume
what
everyone
call
it
here,
but
I
do
want
to
point
one
thing
out
to
you.
It
says
it
has
been
said
that
Marquette's
brain
contains
more
creative
and
marketing
experience
for
Clement
Georgia
than
any
other
person
in
the
area.
A
You
need
to
highlight
that
when
an
underscore,
because
that's
that's,
why
the
most
truthful
thing
you're
gonna,
hear
today
I
think
from
anybody,
because
in
the
time
that
I
have
known
Marquette
over
the
years,
she
brings
the
energy
and
the
enthusiasm
and
the
desire
to
make
things
happen.
And
this
and
we
weren't
invite
her
to
come
now
and
speak
to
us
about
this
idea
of
what's
going
on
in
the
mill
district
and
what
they're
trying
to
accomplish.
So,
please
welcome
mark
yet
McKnight.
B
B
I've
asked
him.
Please
don't
correct
me
if
I
say
anything
wrong,
but
about
seven
years
ago
we
started
with
a
city,
village
concept
and
city
village.
If
you
are
looking
now
you're
looking
out
at
second
Avenue
and
city
village,
is
the
area
between
what
was
formerly
known
as
Johnson
mill,
loft
all
the
way
down
to
tesis
on
this
side
on
the
river
side
of
2nd
Avenue?
We
started
out
with
working
with
the
city.
We
got
an
RFP
for
a
for
a
plan.
B
We
got
a
firm
out
of
Miami
that
had
done
a
lot
of
work
with
the
city
before
we
got
a
beautiful
plan
that
was
frankly
undoable
in
Columbus.
At
that
time.
Some
of
you
in
this
room
worked
on
that
plan
with
us.
The
one
thing
that
I
think
we
did
write
about
that
plan
was
that
we
got
hundreds
of
citizens,
agencies
and
organizations
and
their
input
over
about
a
year
and
a
half
18
month
period.
B
I
don't
do
nearly
as
good
a
job
as
Justin.
You've
already
heard
his
name
mentioned
a
couple
of
times.
Justin
is
our
sort
of
our
ruler
and
our
kingdom
maker
and
the
person
who
is
connected
and
knows
everything
that
the
rest
of
us
know
a
little
bit
about.
So
he's
been
a
great
inspiration
to
us
and
serves
as
president
now
of
our
board,
the
delay
caused
us
to
really
be
able
to
look
at
a
more
holistic
approach
for
the
whole
neighborhood
and
I.
B
Remember
in
the
very
beginning,
Richard
Bishop
had
come
to
one
of
our
planning
and
and
sort
of
input
meetings,
and
he
said
you'll
never
be
successful.
Unless
you
look
at
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
you
have
got
to
go
across
2nd
Avenue
and
look
at
2nd
Avenue
and
incorporate
them
wise
words.
Then,
and
now,
and
that's
what
we
did.
B
We
then
incorporated
it
to
be
four
neighborhoods,
which
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
more
later,
but
so
that
you
could
orient
so
City
Village
is
this
way,
and
none
of
you
have
I
doubt
any
of
you
had
ever
other
than
Ben
link
had
ever
been
into
City
Village,
you
didn't
know
about
it.
There
was
nothing
it's
sort
of
the
neighborhood
behind
all
the
social
agencies.
Nobody
ever
thinks
they're
people
who
live
back
here
and
that
there's
a
neighborhood
back
there.
It's
not
hot,
it's
not
very
dense,
but
it
is
populated.
B
Then
we
have
across
the
street.
We
have
North
Highland,
which
many
of
you
do
know
about
and
is
some
of
the
most
economically
deprived
neighborhoods
in
our
community
and
then
north
of
North
Highland.
Around
Fox
elementary
school
is
what
we
call
Anderson
village.
Some
of
you
might
not
know
that,
but
it
was
a
thriving
mill
district
at
one
time
as
each
one
of
these
neighborhoods
were
around
a
mill
and
then,
of
course
across
here
and
from
here
up
to
54th.
B
We
have
what
we
now,
what
used
to
be
called
bib
city
in
which
we,
the
residents
of
big
city,
of
which
I
am
one.
We
now
call
the
bib
or
big
village,
and
that's
not
an
official
name
designation.
It's
just
what
those
of
us
who
live
in
this
neighborhood
call,
and
we
would
like
to
say,
welcome
to
our
newest
resident,
been
an
alley
link
who
are
building
a
home
and
I
know.
You're
gonna
see
the
new
houses
that
are
being
built
and
I'll.
Tell
you
a
little
bit
about
more
about
that
in
the
bib.
B
The
geographic
area
that
I've
just
described
is
about
750
acres
and
is
made
up
of
those
four
neighborhoods.
The
the
bib
is
is
easily
the
most
ford.
At
this
point,
we've
got
new
construction.
It
contains
obviously
the
bid
mill
Events
Center.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
retail
at
the
front
facing
second
Avenue
we've
got.
B
We've
got
certainly,
and-
and
this
is
sort
of
not
normal
for
neighborhoods,
where
the
north
part
of
town
is
not
the
best,
but
the
north
bit
still
needs
a
lot
of
help
and
I
got
to
say
a
big
shout
out
to
admits
Allen
and
the
folks
at
the
bridge
Church
who
have
done
a
marvelous
job
in
cleaning
up
around
the
bit.
The
bridge
Church,
which
is
that
large
Church
that
you
see
right
before
you
hit
the
jr.
B
Allen
bypass
city
city
village,
has
city
mills
which
has
is
being
renovated
and
and
going
to
be
a
great
game.
Changer
in
that
and
you'll
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we're
doing
there
and
then
North
Highland
across
the
street
has
some
great
neighborhoods
and
and
some
very
vital
citizens,
but
not
a
whole
lot
of
organization,
as
does
Anderson
village.
The
most
organization
that
we
see
in
Anderson
Village
area
is
through
Fox
elementary
school.
B
The
naming
of
the
mill
district
was
not
a
rebranding
as
much
as
I
love,
a
good
rebranding,
marketing
PR,
the
naming
it
the
mill
district
was
not
a
rebranding.
It
was
a
a
builder
of
this
neighborhood
as
a
community
which
was
never
seen
as
a
community
of
four
neighborhoods,
much
like
uptown
Midtown,
but
obviously
much
smaller.
So
so
what
you're?
B
The
common
link
is
that
each
one
of
these
neighborhoods
was
associated
with
a
mill,
hence
the
mill
district
or
we
could
say
the
mills
district,
but
we
call
it
the
mill
district.
Our
board
that
you
can
see
here
is
an
extremely
active
and
engaged
group,
and
they
have
stuck
with
this
project.
For
many
many
years,
I'm
gonna
read
those
out
real
quick,
Leigha
Braxton.
Well,
you
can
read
them
there.
There
are
educators,
there
are
social
service
advocates.
B
There
are
faith
leaders,
there,
investors,
all
sorts
of
people
who
are
really
committed
and
and
want
to
make
sure
that
this
neighborhood
these
neighborhoods
the
mill
district
work
for
all
of
its
citizens
a
about
two
years
ago.
We
realized
that
as
much
as
we
wanted
to
go
forward,
we
were
going
to
need
some
help
and
we
started
looking
at
other
neighborhoods
across
the
United
States
that
had
been
helped
through
different
organizations
and
we
we
came
across
literally
purpose-built
communities.
Many
of
you
have
heard
about
purpose-built
communities.
B
It's
an
organization
out
of
Atlanta
Tom
Cousins,
who
is
a
large
large
developer
nation
National
developer,
decided
that
through
a
partnership
with
the
police
chief
at
the
time
25
years
ago,
the
East
Lake
neighborhood
was
one
of
the
most
crime-infested
crime-ridden
neighborhoods
in
all
of
Atlanta.
It
accounted
for
about
40%
of
the
state's
crimes
and
incarcerated
people
came
from
East
Lake
neighborhood.
Now
some
of
y'all
may
know
East
Lake,
most
famously
for
its
Golf
Course,
which
is
now,
of
course,
a
PGA
golf
course.
B
But
if
you
ever
get
a
moment-
and
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
this
neighborhood,
the
transformation
has
been
amazing.
They
have
now
an
elementary
middle
school
and
high
school
drew
Charter,
which
was
formerly
a
charter
and
is
now
a
Atlanta
Public,
Schools
school,
but
purpose-built
communities
was
formed
after
they
renovated
and
revitalized
the
East
Lake
neighborhood
and
they
for
Tom
Cousins
formed
purpose-built
communities
to
help
other
neighborhood
developments
across
the
United
States
they're.
B
Currently
some
50
some-odd
Network
partners-
and
this
is
not
a
thing
that
we
pay
them
for
they
come
in
and
give
us
their
expertise.
They've
done
it
a
lot
all
the
way
across
the
nation,
and
so
it's
something
that
we
were
very
glad
a
few
months
ago
to
finally
receive
our
network
affiliation
with
purpose-built
communities.
B
They
have
purpose-built,
has
three
strategies
that
we
already
had
some
of
in
our
plan
for
city
village,
but
that
we
were
already
working
on
and
that
is
housing,
education
and
wellness
I'm,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
each
one
of
those.
The
mill
district
board
serves
as
the
community,
quarterback
or
advocacy
organization
to
influence
in
those
areas
of
what
we
call
investment.
This
next
slide
is
something
most
of
you
in
this
room
already
know.
B
The
mill
district
neighborhoods
collectively,
all
of
them
together
are
about
5,000
people,
average
household
income
of
19,000
and
46%
live
at
or
below
the
poverty
line.
That's
a
huge
disparity,
not
only
with
our
city
but
with
our
state
and
with
the
nation
that
is
a
unnatural
sort
of
delineation
of
poverty
and
what
it
can
do
to
to
neighborhoods
and
families
and
people,
and
overall,
we're
very
committed
to
improving
those
numbers
and
we've
sort
of
become
found.
B
B
Early
childhood
education
and
community
wellness,
one
of
our
primary
partners
within
the
neighborhood,
affordable,
housing,
attainable
housing
has
been
NeighborWorks,
Columbus
Kathy
Williams
serves
on
our
board
and
they
NeighborWorks
has
made
a
significant
investment
in
this
area
about
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
property
acquisition
and
demolition
focused
on
the
fourth
Avenue
area.
Behind
Mercy
med
they
are
currently
NeighborWorks,
is
building
a
108
unit,
affordable
senior
housing
on
the
old
Meritus
mill
site
called
Highland
Terrace,
which
will
be
a
wonderful
addition
and
stabilizer
to
that.
B
The
the
next
partner
that
we
have
is
the
housing
authority
of
Columbus,
which
has
been
a
tremendous
partner
as
well
as
every
single
organization
has
been,
but
in
in
these
four
neighborhoods.
There
are
two
housing
projects
and
those
developments
include
Chase,
which
are
the
ones
you
see
when
you're
coming
up.
Second
Avenue
right
next
to
tsys
right
next
to
awfully
the
substation
and
the
rail
line,
while
we
ever
built
public
housing
for
families
and
children
next
to
an
electrical
substation
next
to
a
railroad
I'm
pretty
clueless
on
that.
B
But
it
was
a
long
time
ago
right
now,
if
you've
ever,
if
you've
ever
been
on,
First,
Avenue
and
I
should
say:
I,
Drive,
first
Avenue
to
work
I
working
up
to
him.
Live
it
right
up
here,
just
a
block
away:
I
Drive,
First
Avenue,
twice
a
day,
I
go
home
that
way
and
I
mean
I,
go
to
work
that
way
and
I
come
back
that
way.
B
Just
so
that
I'm
reminded
every
day
of
what
we're
facing
in
in
this
neighborhood
development
chase
homes
is
actually
four
city
blocks
that
are
sort
of
divided
up
by
First
Avenue,
and
they
are
they
face.
Second,
at
to
the
blocks.
Space
Center
second
Avenue
to
the
blocks
are
on
the
river
again
great
developmental
property,
insofar
as
it's
a
beautiful
oversight
of
the
river.
So
it's
nice,
nice
property
that
that
is
there,
but
especially
a
property.
B
That's
a
little
bit
further
away
from
the
electrical
substation
and
the
railroad
Wilson
hat
Wilson
Homes
is
more
toward
that
way
toward
veterans
sort
of
behind
Fox
elementary
school
as
you're
getting
more
towards
veterans
and
which
you
might
see
when
you're
coming
down
veterans
from
Uptown
to
North
Columbus
Wilson
homes
is
about
280
at
220
apartments
and
have
been
recently
renovated.
They
are
mostly
most
of
those
kids.
B
Almost
all
of
us,
kids
go
to
if
they
go
to
elementary
school,
they
go
to
Fox
elementary
school,
which
is
the
only
school
located
in
this
district
and
Wilson
homes
has
has
undergone
of
a
nice
renovation.
What
is
still
to
happen
will
be
the
chase
home
renovation.
It
will
probably
go
on
the
northernmost
two
blocks
and
will
be
a
wholesale
demolition.
They
will
tear
them
down
and
rebuild
them
there
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
homes
there.
B
Now
they
will
probably
not
be
that
many,
but
they
will
be
true:
mixed
income
housing
and
when
I
say
mixed
income,
I
mean
a
la
Columbus
Commons
Ashley
Ashley
station,
those
kinds
of
things
that
hack
G,
the
Housing
Authority,
has
already
been
doing
in
our
community
and
and
working
tremendously.
Well
I'm
going
to
ask
y'all
a
question
now
how
many
of
you
live
in
a
in
a
mixed,
neighborhood.
B
Gosh
I
thought
most
of
you
would
raise
your
hand
saying:
oh,
yes,
I
live
in
a
mixed,
neighborhood
cuz,
it's
almost
to
me.
It
almost
sees
sometimes
that
it's
like
a
little
embarrassing
if
you
don't
live
in
a
mixed
neighborhood
now,
but
when
we
say
a
mixed
neighborhood,
what
we
mean
is
mixed
income
and
very
few
of
us
truly
live
in
a
mixed
income.
B
If
you
ever
go
on
First
Avenue
you've
seen
the
signs,
they
will
probably
be
a
little
more
high-rise
than
we
originally
envisioned,
but
those
people
will
be
Moo
and
placed
in
other
places
and
then,
if
they
so
choose,
just
like
it
happened
with
comas
Commons,
which
is
the
old
bTW,
will
be
moved
back
into
that,
along
with
other
affordable,
attainable
mixed
income.
Housing
we've
seen
a
lot
of
really
successful
mixed
income.
Housing
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
ever.
B
The
second
piece
of
our
sort
of
triumvirate
is
the
cradle
to
college
education
pipeline
and
another
partner
has
been
for
us,
the
Muscogee,
County,
School,
District
and
Fox
elementary
I'm,
not
sure.
If
event
scarborough
is
here.
Dr.
Yvette
Scarborough
is
the
principal
of
Fox
elementary
and
has
been
a
tremendous
addition
serving
on
our
board.
B
They
realized
very
early
on
in
East
Lake
that
you
were
going
to
have
to
have
the
opportunity
to
make
a
huge
impact,
specifically
in
early
childhood
education,
but
we
really
will
eventually
focus
on
early
childhood
education
up
to
college
level
or
or
career
school,
or
anything
else
that
the
community
needs.
Although
it's
not
located
in
this
neighborhood
we've
had,
we
now
have
a
formal
MoU
with
the
school
district
and
the
school
board,
and
dr.
Lewis
have
been
extremely
helpful
and
working
with
us
through
this.
B
With
this
working
new
working
relationship,
it's
a
very
different
partnership
than
anything
else
in
our
in
our
school.
In
our
school
system,
our
city,
the
mill
district,
provides
additional
funding
to
Fox
elementary,
that
includes
an
assistant
principal,
a
social
worker,
a
K
through
2,
instructional
coach
and
a
parent
involvement
specialist
and
again
we're
looking
at
a
holistic
approach
to
that
neighborhood
and
what
we
can
do,
especially
with
early
intervention.
There
are
some
work,
there's
work
about
now,
our
sort
of
next
party.
B
That
means
we're
funding
this
for
five
years,
we're
funding
those
positions,
and
we
expect
that
Fox
Elementary
will
react
very
well
and
that
neighborhood
with
this
stability,
the
next
thing
that
we're
looking
at
is
providing
more
of
a.
We
thought
we
were
going
to
get
it
done
last
year
with
a
head
start
with
an
Early
Head
Start,
but
we're
not
able
to
do
that
and
are
looking
now
at
other
ways
that
we
can
impact
early
childhood
education,
specifically
0
to
3
the
other
partner
in
the
education
areas.
B
Currently
they
have
K
through
for
instruction
and
hoping
to
add
on
more
the
third
triumvirate
is
wellness
and
that
community
wellness
sort
of
impacts,
everything
from
wellness
to
health
care,
to
jobs,
education,
etc.
I
mean
it's
sort
of
it's
a
it's
a
large
piece,
but
it
encompasses
things
like
making
sure
that
we
have
they.
Obviously,
these
four
neighbors
heads
have
great
access
to
the
Riverwalk
Riverwalk
sidewalks,
but
there
are
many
places
in
this
neighborhood
that
do
not
have
sidewalks
and
have
no
there's,
not
there's
not
a
big
playground
in
this
area.
B
That's
not
delineated
for
a
specific
population.
We've
worked
with
two
partners
in
the
wellness
area
and
that's
Mercy
med
who
you're
gonna,
hear
from
Grant
later
and
Billy.
Holbrook
has
been
a
wonderful
partner
in
our
on
our
board
and
bringing
to
us,
as
many
of
you
may
know,
mercy
man
already
partners
with
Fox
elementary.
They
have
a
clinic
in
their
school,
which
has
been
tremendously
successful.
Successful.
It's
not.
B
The
clinic
is
not
only
for
the
students,
it's
for
the
teachers
and
the
staff
as
well,
which
has
been
a
great
addition
and
that's
been
all
Mercy
med.
Although
we've
worked
with
all
of
the
social
agencies,
mostly
in
the
city
Village
area,
probably
the
most
involved
with
the
mill
district
has
been
open
door,
which
offers
a
variety
of
wellness
programs,
educational
programs,
after-school
programs,
job
mentoring,
job
fairs,
etc,
and
so
they've
been
a
Kim.
B
We
were
looking
for
them
to
continue
to
do
what
they
that
do
and
for
us
to
maximize
those
resources
and
help
us
so
I
mean
other
than
the
fact
that
I
live
in
the
bib,
and
there
are
several
of
us
who
live
in
neighborhoods
around
here
who
are
on
our
board.
But
why
is
this
important
I
mean?
We
all
know:
uptown
Midtown
boy
they're,
the
economic
engines
for
our
city.
B
Neighborhoods,
have
you
know
huge
organizational
resources
and
North
Columbus
is
doing
just
fine.
So
why
would
we
care
about
working
with
these
neighborhoods?
The
Bibb,
as
I
said,
is
doing
great.
It's
it's
going
to
move
ahead.
It's
going
to
be
some
funky
little
housing
for
for
folks.
We've
lived
here
for
11
years.
We
were
the
first
house
new
house
built
in
the
Bibb
in
50
some
odd
years,
and
now
we've
got
three
new
houses.
Two
one
under
construction
and
two
houses
that
are
sold.
B
Wade
and
Elizabeth.
Quiet
live
in
living,
one
of
the
home
new
brand
new
homes
and
a
doctor,
and
a
librarian
from
Fort
Benning,
the
doctors
at
Martin
Army
and
as
a
soldier
bought
the
second
house
and
the
Johnny
Cargill
who's
developing
all
of
River
Avenue,
which
is
this
Avenue
that
faces
the
river
pretty
convenient.
B
It
has
have
been
tremendo
already
been
sold
all
the
other
Lots.
I
think
he
has
a
few
they're
still
now
facing
first
avenues
or
poplar
street.
So
if
you
want
any
of
those,
let
join
a
car
you'll
know
he's
been
a
great
developer,
but
we
think
we
know
that,
with
with
poverty,
peri
affects
all
of
us
when
people
don't
have
stable
homes.
Kids
in
my
neighborhood,
who
don't
have
stable
homes
who
don't
have
a
stable
home
life,
the
our
future
taxpayers
are
future
tax
base,
our
future
citizens,
our
future
community.
B
B
I'm
gonna
call
on
you
over
the
set
and
I
should
have
said
in
the
very
beginning.
Seth
Brown
has
been
absolutely
fabulous
in
helping
us
Isaiah
to
your
point.
You
know
we
do
this
in
the
bill
we
at
first
Saturday
in
the
bib.
We
have
clean
up.
We
all
get
together
at
somebody
house,
usually
Anna
Sims
KN
Keith
Sims,
who
is
our
community
farmer
and
works
with
Mercy
med,
and
we
get
together
on
the
first
Saturday
of
every
month
and
and
clean
up
our
neighborhood.
C
B
That's
a
good
question
and
I
should
say
too:
we
were
the
first
ones
to
build
in
the
bin
50
some
odd
years,
but
we
were
not
the
pioneers
in
the
bib
any
Santiago,
Brad
Barnes
and
Jen
Collins
bury
cars.
Well,
there
were
several
folks
who
live
in
the
bib,
have
lived
in
the
bib
for
20
years
and
made
a
lot
of
progress
there.
I
guess
it
was
partly
my
organizational
PR
facility
that
we
were
just
bringing
everybody
together
and
it
was
a
matter
of
we
wanted
to
see
in
the
bib.
B
C
G
D
That's
why
I'm
here
to
come
apart
and
to
not
so
much
sit
back
and
be
an
armchair
analyst
complain
that
didn't
do
anything
so
it
kind
of
so
what
he
was
asking
when
you
get
people
together
to
start
making
these
positive
changes
is
so
the
creation
process
doesn't
start
happens
organically,
but
you
just
have
to
be
great.
If
you
can't
live
in
fear,
you
gotta
get
out
there
and
you
gotta
talk
with
your
part-time,
so
the
heart
and
be
afraid
to
be
a
little
different
because
we're
all
different.
D
D
A
Moving
right
along
here,
I,
like
you,
watch
a
lot
of
TV
or
having
in
my
lifetime,
and
the
thing
that
strikes
me
in
my
head
is
the
fact
that
about
there's
always
that
one
doctor
show
that
shows
up.
You
know
where
the
kindly
old
doctor
goes
in
and
he
takes
care
of
people
and
this
and
that
and
you
look
at
and
you
go
that's
nice,
but
that's
not
reality.
Well,
let
me
just
spell
that
for
you
right
now,
I
want
to
invite
dr.
grant
Scarborough
to
come
forward
here.
A
A
Don't
know
the
grant
remembers
just
not,
but
he
came
to
our
Kiwanis
Club,
which
you're
all
invited
to
by
the
way
then
I
get
that
chief
plug
in
and
he
came
and
I
was
I
was
mystified
by
the
fact
that
he
was
a
man
that
had
the
medical
degrees
and
so
forth
and
who
probably
could
be
in
any
major
hospital
I
would
think.
But
yet
he
came
back
to
the
community
to
give
back
to
the
community
and
to
the
citizens
that
he
wants
to
serve.
So
with
that
in
mind,
please
welcome
dr.
H
Thank
y'all
for
letting
me
be
here,
but
thank
you
also,
because
I'm
truly
just
an
extension
of
mercy.
Man
for
letting
mercy
man
be
here
and
excited
just
to
give
you
a
few
quick
thoughts
on
where
they
said
was
the
good,
the
bad
and
the
ugly
bug
Lee
standing
before
you
know,
but
before
I
get
into
the
talk.
I
just
want
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
my
story.
I'm
from
Columbus
Georgia
was
raised
here
and
I've
had
a
long
history
of
just
loving
the
City
of
Columbus.
H
My
relative
Howard
Mott
started
the
valley
rescue
mission.
When
I
was
in
high
school
I
used
to
go
down
to
the
house
of
mercy
and
volunteer.
When
I
was
a
kid,
we
used
to
get
names
to
the
valley,
rescue
mission
and
take
presents
to
children.
They
didn't
have
much
I'm
a
member
of
the
open
door
board
now
I
would
say:
I've
loved,
Columbus
and
I've
loved
being
a
part
of
caring
for
the
poor.
You
know
I've
been
gone
for
extension
for
since
the
1980s,
so
this
is
really
an
honor.
H
For
me
to
come
back
and
just
share
some
of
that
with
y'all
I
went
to
college,
it's
University
of
Georgia,
probably
too
soon
even
say
those
words.
Sorry
for
my
fans.
After
that,
I
went
to
Atlanta
and
was
involved
in
a
ministry.
Well,
I
started
caring
for
some
of
the
poor
in
Atlanta,
while
there
I
noticed
a
lot
of
individuals
had
people
caring
for
their
food,
their
housing,
their
clothing.
H
Very
few
are
caring
for
medical
issues
among
the
poor
proverbs
says
an
abundance
of
counselors,
there's
victory,
and
so
I
started
talking
to
people
about
this
idea
and
they
encouraged
me
to
go
to
med
school
as
a
way
to
care
for
the
poor
through
the
gift
of
medicine.
So
I
went
to
med
school
at
Mercer
University
in
Macon,
which
I'm
very
exciting
in
Columbus
soon
and
then
went
in
my
training
in
Memphis.
H
After
that,
I
moved
to
Memphis
Tennessee
sorry,
I
moved
to
Augusta
Jordan
with
a
friend
of
mine
in
2000
2007
started
a
clinic
called
Christ
Community
Health
Services
of
Augusta.
It
was
done
with
a
friend
of
mine,
Robert
Campbell,
it
is
still
going,
is
still
serving
the
underserved
of
Augusta
Georgia.
In
2010
we
had
a
few
folks
come
from
Columbus
hal,
brady,
champ
baker,
Lynn
Sexton,
my
father
and
a
few
others
came
to
came
from
Columbus
to
Augusta
to
see
what
we
were
doing
there
and
when
they
saw
that
they
say.
H
Would
you
ever
consider
coming
back
to
Columbus
now
after
much
prayer
and
deliver
the
liberation,
I
decide
in
2011
to
move
back
to
Columbus
and
start
a
clinic
like
while
I
was
doing
in
Augusta?
Like
we
copied
from
Memphis
Tennessee
when
I
first
got
here,
I
did
a
scouting
trip
and
I
went
down
to
South
Columbus
today,
I
rode
for
hours
all
the
way
through
it's
a
great
thing
to
do.
H
Well,
all
the
homeless
shelters
with
Highlands
going
from
North
Highlands
over
to
East
Highlands
and
realized
that
there
was
a
great
need,
therefore,
to
care
for
our
friends
that
are
poor
and
there
are
no
medical
work
being
done
at
that
time.
So
in
2012
we
opened
the
doors
to
Mercy
Matt
of
Columbus
in
the
old
CBN
T
Bank.
H
The
best
way
to
describe
Mercy
Matt
is
our
mission.
We
exist
pervane
Jesus
crisis
Lord
and
demonstrate
his
love
by
providing
affordable
quality
health
care
to
the
physical,
emotional,
spiritual
needs
of
the
underserved.
It's
a
Christian
nonprofit.
We
exist
to
proclaim
Jesus
Lord
and
it
demonstrate
his
love.
What
does
that
mean?
Scripture
says
when
Jesus
showed
the
full
extent
of
his
love?
He
took
off
his
outer
garments,
wrapped
a
towel
around
himself
and
washed
his
disciples
feet.
H
I
cannot
tell
you
how
many
homeless
folks
I've
seen
come
in,
take
off
their
socks
and
see
feet
that
have
not
been
watched
for
a
long
time.
I
call
this
a
service
ministry.
The
way
we
do
is
by
serving
the
folks
that
come
in
that
we
see
we
exist,
proclaim.
Jesus
Christ
is
Lord
demonstrate
about
providing
affordable
quality
health
care.
It's
not
free
health
care.
We
think
it's
important
that
people
invest
in
their
health
care.
Most
folks
pay
thirty
dollars
to
get
seen
and
they
includes
their
blood
work.
H
It's
my
job
to
know
where
to
send
all
the
medicines
to
make
sure
they're
the
cheapest
in
town,
so
it's
very
affordable.
It's
also
quality.
We
see
everybody
that
walks
through
that
door,
no
matter
where
they
came
from
if
made,
is
an
image
of
God
and
because
of
that
they
deserve
the
very
best
health
care
in
the
city,
and
that's
our
goal
is
to
give
them
the
very
very
best
to
the
physical,
emotional
spiritual
needs,
and
she
talked
more
about
poverty.
H
Our
vision
statements
a
little
bit
bigger,
but
just
to
sum
it
up,
I
would
say
that
we
envision
a
clinic,
that's
just
not
a
clinic.
We
envision
a
clinic
that
affects
the
community
around
us
and
that
we
hope
to
see
the
community
looked
different
in
five
years
in
ten
years,
in
15
years
in
twenty
years,
it's
a
community
development
vision
statement.
That's
why
you'll
see
that
we're
in
Fox
School
caring
for
the
children.
A
couple
blocks
right
behind
us.
That's
why
we
started
a
telemedicine
program,
a
couple
shelters
in
town.
Now,
that's
not
going
anymore.
H
That's
why
we've
done
some
community
events,
that's
what
we
started:
farming
in
the
neighborhood
and
starting
at
the
farmers
market,
so
that
our
folks
in
the
community
can
come
and
try
to
get
healthier
food
options,
and
that's
why
we've
been
involved
in
me.
These
discussions
about
community
development
as
well
when
we
talk
about
community
velopment,
I,
think
sometimes
for
me,
it's
important
to
find
what
I
mean,
because
sometimes
I
think
we
can
use
different
words
when
we
say
Community
Development,
so
I
want
you
to
what
my
dream
is
for.
H
Highlands,
okay
and
simply
put
my
dream
is
not
necessarily
gentrification.
I
love
the
people
that
live
behind
my
clinic,
they
are
85%
of
them
are
wonderful
people
and
they
want
what
I
have
a
neighborhood.
Where
I
can
go
in
a
couple
of
weeks
and
not
go
to
door,
say
Trick
or
Treat.
They
want
to
have
a
parade,
July
4th
and
end
with
a
fire
truck
shooting
water
into
the
air
and
go
to
run
around
and
laugh.
They
won't
build
up,
walk
and
exercise
in
that
little
area.
H
That's
what
I
desire
see
with
my
little
area
behind
Highlands.
Let's
be
honest:
15
percent
of
people
back
Mayer,
some
troublemakers
there,
some
addicts
there's
some
drugs.
They
do
need
to
be
run
off,
but
that
most
of
folks
are
just
trying
to
find
a
safe
place
to
live,
and
we
want
to.
We
want
to
bring
that
up
for
them.
We
want
them
to
be
available
to
enjoy
the
benefit
of
a
healthy
neighborhood,
but
they
experience
living
in
peace
and
Shalom.
H
H
We
need
to
understand
that
a
lot
of
folks
that
may
be
living
on
my
clinic
might
have
different
cultural
values
than
maybe
what
I
have
I
took
my
daughter
Uganda
not
too
long
ago,
and
before
he
went,
we
had
a
cultural
training,
they
do
things
in
Uganda.
That
are
a
little
different.
They
do
here
in
the
state
say
if
it
happens,
don't
let
surprise
you
there's
just
some
differences
and
for
me
when
I
go
behind
my
clinic
into
those
streets,
I've
learned,
the
best
thing
I
can
do
is
listen.
H
Sometimes
what
I
think
is
best.
They
don't
view
it
the
same
way,
it's
important
with
community
development
that
we
respect
each
other,
but
we
can
free
up
each
other
and
that
we
listen
to
hear
what
it's
important
to
them
as
well.
So
have
a
lot
of
great
ideas,
but
I
would
beg
you.
Don't
just
hear
me.
We
need
to
hear
our
friends
as
well,
but
good.
That's
simple,
Columbus
Georgia
I've
been
in
a
lot
of
cities
and
the
very
few
seas
I've
seen
that
loves
its
city
as
much
as
we
do.
We
love
Columbus.
H
H
You've
heard
more
CAD.
You've
heard
other
folks,
we
love
to
dream
for
good
for
the
city,
it's
not
that
we
just
won't
do
do
it,
but
we
want
to
be
creative
and
come
up
with
ways
to
help
folks
and
we
all
spend
hours
on
projects
I've
been
to
purpose-built.
You
ought
to
go
it's
incredible.
We
need
to
dream
even
bigger
dreams,
but
we
have
dreamers
here
who
want
to
see
things
come
to
reality,
and
one
thing
that
we
want
to
see
come
to.
Reality
is
a
better
and
more
Shalom
neighborhood.
H
The
reality
is
we
had
some
great
ministries
here,
willing
to
let
the
good
be
good
and
their
name
doesn't
have
to
be
on
it
and
when
you're
trying
to
do
something
for
the
community,
you
need
partners
willing
to
say:
okay,
you
could
go
with
this
one.
You
go
with
this
one
and
I
think
we
have
a
wonderful
cooperation,
good
resources
in
this
community.
We
get
some
great
resources,
we
have
a
gothcorp,
that's
pretty
awesome.
Studies
show
that
the
number
one
way
to
get
people
out
of
poverty
is
the
college.
Education.
H
Okay,
the
easiest
scholarship
for
a
girl
to
get
to
go
to
college
is
a
Goss
scholarship.
We
need
a
goth
coat,
I
mean
Fox.
I'll
have
the
best
golf
team
in
the
city
we
have
the
river.
We
have
a
high
traffic
area,
second
Avenue,
which
will
end
well
to
businesses
and
investors,
and
we
have
a
lots
of
available
real
estate
that
is
just
waiting
to
be
bought
from
a
healthcare
perspective.
We
started,
as
you
know,
a
clinic.
We
provide
another
access
point
for
folks
who
need
healthcare
to
get
healthcare.
H
We
have
grow,
we
have
a
six
provider
seeing
patients,
we
have
counseling,
we
have
addiction
counseling,
we
have
mental
health
support
groups,
we
have
dentistry
now
this
week
and
a
half
ago
we
started
physical
therapy
for
our
patients.
We
have
cardiology,
orthopedics,
GYN,
psychiatry,
ophthalmology,
some
radiological
services,
so
from
a
healthcare
perspective
at
Mercy
mad
we're
able
to
see
a
patient
and
not
just
do
przemek
here
provide
a
lot
of
wraparound
services
as
well.
H
And
lastly,
we
have
good
neighbors
already
living
here.
I,
don't
know
as
much
about
the
BIP
side,
but
on
the
Highland
side,
we've
had
some
folks
move
into
the
community
and
whenever
you
create,
whenever
someone
moves
in
the
neighborhood
and
it
comes
a
neighbor,
it
lists
the
whole
neighborhood
a
little
bit
when
we
keep
our
house
a
little
cleaner
when
we
fix
meals
and
if
I
folks
for
dinner,
that
we
have
folks
starting
to
move
in
the
neighborhoods
and
make
a
difference.
H
H
H
H
Some
of
our
FEMA
providers
live
in
the
Highlands
area,
trying
to
make
a
difference
being
little
missionaries
in
the
community
and
one
time
at
two
o'clock
in
the
morning
slowly
starts
banging
on
the
door
and
trying
to
bust
through
the
window.
You
can
imagine
the
fear
that
they
might
have
they
call
the
pastor
lifts
two
doors
down,
he
comes
running
down
and
it
was
one
of
my
patients
who
has
paranoid
schizophrenia
and
we've
been
trying
to
help
and
stabilize.
H
He
thought
someone
was
trying
to
kill
him
and
he
was
running
for
his
life.
He
was
intentionally
trying
to
do
anything
bad.
He
was
just
unstable
and
thankfully
he
knocked
on
our
house.
It's
not
mine,
but
our
providers
house,
because
it
had
not
been
the
case,
he
would
have
been
shot
killed
or
something
else
would
have
happened.
Millie
illness
is
one
of
the
bad
that
we
have
to
work
with
addiction.
H
This
ranges
from
pills
to
illicit
drugs.
People
ask
me
if
I'm
afraid
in
the
neighborhood
in
answers
now,
except
for
two
sets
of
people
once
the
Milley
ill
and
the
other
of
those
with
addiction.
It's
tough
addiction
leads
to
other
issues,
the
prostitution
that
goes
on
behind
our
clinic.
It's
not
they're,
not
paid
in
cash.
These
ladies,
are
actually
paid
and
crack
or
meth
it's
addiction
driven.
H
E
H
H
Lack
of
hope
for
those
within
the
community,
so
me,
my
friends,
have
lost
hope.
They
feel
lonely.
They've
lost
their
dignity,
they
feel
like
they've
lost
every
opportunity.
I've
got
to
take
for
someone
to
make
it
out
of
Highlands
and
make
it
even
just
almost
even
a
middle-class
is
by
far
much
greater
than
anything.
I've
ever
done.
The
obstacles
they
have
to
overcome.
That
is
amazing.
In
Fox,
School
one-fourth
of
the
students
are
new
every
year,
which
means
every
year
25
or
so
the
kids
are
moving
to
someplace
else.
They
live
on
couches.
H
You
know
they
go
from
house
to
house.
There's
some
parents
who
won't
let
their
children
study
they've
lost,
hope
they
can't
see
a
better
tomorrow.
It's
important
for
us,
as
we
start
doing
a
community
velopment
not
to
offer
anything
that
we
can't
provide.
We
don't
need
another
lost
voice
that
promises
something
and
doesn't
deliver.
We
must
be
careful.
Our
friends
are
fragile.
We
must
love
them
well.
H
H
We
have
a
little
bit
of
a
resourceless
neighborhood
in
the
highlands
region.
There's
not
a
lot
of
fish
left
in
the
lake
and
that's
the
issue.
We
won't
our.
We
want
our
friends
to
rise
up.
We
want
them
to
grab
opportunity,
but
sometimes
there's
no
place
to
grab
and
part
of
our
job
is
to
provide
things
that
we
can
hold.
They
can
hold
onto
and
they
can
move
on.
H
We
had
a
friend
that
was
that
was
given
help
with
the
job
through
subway.
It
was
great,
however,
her
childcare
was
not
reliable
enough
for
her
to
show
up,
and
then
she
lost
her
job
when,
because
she
weren't
a
good
worker,
but
she
did
have
the
stability
of
the
safety
net
to
make
it
to
work.
One
thing
Marquette
mentioned
was
a
early
childhood
learning
center
man.
That
would
be
huge
for
some
of
our
friends
huge.
H
H
We
also
need
for
us.
We
really
need
a
social
worker
as
well
to
help
some
of
these
social
issues.
Those
are
two
areas
I
see
from
a
healthcare
perspective
that
we
can
grow
the
ugly
I.
Don't
I,
don't
want
to
do
ugly
I
prefer
bias.
I
was
going
to
skip
this.
People
are
not
ugly,
but
buildings
houses
yards
visually.
H
We
can
use
a
little
makeover
come
right
behind
my
clinic
I
feel
like
every
fourth
house
has
all
their
furniture
out
by
the
street.
It
probably
wasn't
their
choice,
but
visually
I
think
we
could
do
a
little
bit
better
in
Wales
as
ugly
is
simply
poverty.
Poverty
is
a
cruel
taskmaster.
It
is
a
equal
opportunity
employer.
It
doesn't
care
about
your
race,
your
sex,
your
nationality.
H
It
is
hard,
go
home
and
do
this
I
did
this
one
time
and
figure
out
what
it
costs
to
live
on
the
poverty
line
for
your
family
and
they
figure
out
what
you
have
to
cut
I
realize
I
had
to
get
rid
of
my
car
so
one
day,
I
take
the
bus
to
work.
Three
point:
seven
miles
took
me:
fifty-five
minutes
to
get
to
work
and
an
hour
and
10
minutes
to
get
home.
Some
of
our
friends
live
that
way
every
day,
every
day,
poverty
who
robbed
you
of
hope
and
steals
your
dignity.
H
H
H
We
have
wonderful
things
that
Valley
rescue
it
team
challenged
the
safe
house
where
once
they're
out
of
the
cute
rehab,
they
can
go
for
another
year
and
have
a
friend
who
actually
wants
to
start
a
house
that
can
do
after
the
Year
program
to
do
a
reentry
program
into
the
society
because
that's
needed
as
well,
but
the
one
area
I
see
that
I
need
to
take
advantage.
Not
change
is
the
wrong
word
and
I
need
to
look
at
to
see
if
I
can
help
is
its.
How
do
I
fill
that
void?
It's
a
big
void.
H
A
lot
of
folks
want
to
get
off
drugs
if
you
don't
take
advantage
of
it.
At
that
moment,
the
moments
gone.
It's
gone,
it's
too
powerful.
It's
too
powerful
mental
illness.
This
is
a
tough
one
as
well
and
there's
huge
trust
issues
with
individuals
with
mental
illness
for
them
to
walk
across
the
street,
from
maybe
the
river
to
second
Avenue
to
our
clinic.
It's
it's
very
difficult,
often
for
them,
but
the
reality
is
that
we
need
more
mental
illness
in
our
clinic.
We
need
a
psychiatrist.
H
We
need
psychiatrists
who
have
bent
with
a
addiction
psychiatry,
so
they
can
do
both
of
these
and
knowing
some
of
the
trust
issues
we
need
a
psychiatrist,
I
like
to
travel.
Now
they
need
to
step
up
in
a
saree
setup
shop,
maybe
the
open
door
one
day.
Maybe
it
has
some
mercy,
maybe
Salvation
Army,
where
some
of
our
friends
go
when
they're
in
need.
H
There's
talk
about
early
children,
Learning,
Center,
I,
just
think
it
would
be
game-changing
and
to
get
kids
from
months
old
and
get
them
prepped
to
go
to
fox
school
and
then
get
them
through
fox
school
ahead
of
the
curve.
Children
are
our
future.
We
need
to
invest
in
them
when
you
invest
in
adults,
but
children
are
our
future.
H
H
H
So
there
are
ways
that
even
purpose-built
talked
about.
This
is
a
bond.
Some
property
may
be
early
and
let's,
let's
hold
them
for
our
friends,
so
they
can
continue
to
stay.
There
continue
to
live
there.
A
great
way
for
some,
my
friends,
a
gala
poverty
is,
is
actually
equity
in
a
home
and
assist
them
actually
having
home
ownership.
It's
a
great
thing
to
think
of.
We
also
have
businesses
here,
commercial,
real
estate.
H
H
I'll
skip
that
part
and
get
the
end.
In
conclusion,
the
bad
and
ugly
very
is
bad
and
ugly,
but
there's
also
very
good,
and
that
gives
me
much
hope
when
I
look
out
a
crowd
like
this,
but
yes,
things
can
change.
I
would
tell
you
there,
probably
eight
or
ten
folks,
they
probably
more
than
that,
but
really
boots
on
the
ground.
Working
hard
in
this
neighborhood
I
mean
if
all
y'all
came
and
joined
us
man.
I
cannot
imagine
what
it
would
look
like.
H
Our
focus
needs
to
be
on
raising
up
the
poor
and
making
the
city
better.
These
things
are
not
exclusive,
they
can
be
inclusive.
We
can
do
both.
We
can
raise
people
in
the
city
up
together,
but
it
will
take
a
city
to
accomplish
it.
They
will
take
the
churches,
the
government,
the
leaders,
the
nonprofit's
people,
to
sacrifice,
because
I
think
in
in
20
30
years,
when
we
look
back
and
see
communities
living
in
peace
with
one
another.
I
I
I,
just
don't
see
enough
people
reaching
out
to
help
the
sheriff's
office
started.
Hispanic
outreach
division.
14
years
ago,
major
brand
new
Robinson
working
for
service
office
now
sentence.
He
inspired
and
the
main
reason
was.
We
build
Hispanics,
not
reporting
crime,
okay,
to
help
them
to
report.
Here's
a
better
relationship
with
city
officials
and
with
law
the
committee's
been
around
for
14
years,
there's
70
different
organizations
in
town
that
it
comes.
H
Yeah
great
great
question:
you're:
absolutely
right:
we
need
to
try
to
help
everybody
in
the
city
that
needs
help.
We
do
have
a
Spanish
translator
at
our
clinic
and
she's
done
a
great
job,
recruiting
patients
that
need
to
be
seen.
I
know
it
won't
work
it
to
espanol.
I
know
the
law,
which
means
pain,
I,
point
a
lot
of
front
places
really
fast,
but
when
she's
there
she
helps
our
Spanish
population
has
been
growing.
H
The
word
has
gotten
out
that
we
see
patients
I
saw
one
this
morning
before
coming
here
that
actually
broke
her
arm
and
because
of
I
think
some
issues
with
translation.
She
wasn't
sure
what
to
do
with
follow-up,
and
so
I
actually
saw
her
this
morning
and
gave
her
some
guidance
as
well.
So
we
have
a
Spanish
translator.
The
reality
is,
we
need
growth
in
all
our
areas.
We
need
to
be
more
Hispanic
patients
more
after
America's
patients
and
look
more
white
patients.
The
need
is,
is
very,
very
great,
and
we
just
we
need
more
providers.
I
D
H
We
have
a
farm
that
we
do
now.
We
have
a
person
who
is
actually
a
great
farmer
and
he
he
loves
vegetables.
He
loved
to
talk
about
vegetables.
You
come
see
him
he'll
talk
about
vegetables
all
the
time,
but
we
are
growing
vegetables
right
in
our
backyard
and
then
we
are
selling
it
to
our
patients.
One
of
our
goals.
One
days,
have
a
food
pharmacy.
You
come
see
us
you
have
diabetes,
you
go
out
back
to
Keith.
H
He's
got
your
bag
of
groceries,
ready
to
go
home
with
you,
we've
won
a
grant
which
has
been
wonderful.
So
if
you
show
up
with
food
stamps,
you
get
twice
the
value
of
your
food
stamps.
So
for
ten
dollars
for
the
food
stamps,
you
get
twenty
dollars
worth
of
vegetables,
but
and
the
grant
will
pay
the
farmer
the
other
ten
dollars.
So
the
farmer
gets
his
money
and
and
their
friends
get
their
vegetables
at
a
reduced
rate.
H
We
have
in
our
last
one
tomorrow
from
4:00
to
6:00
for
the
year,
because
the
growing
season
slow
down
so
if
you'll
come
out
tomorrow
from
4:00
to
6:00,
we'd
love
for
you
to
buy
some
vegetables,
and
so
it's
been
a
great
way
to
really
encourage
our
patients
to
eat
better.
Our
next
goal
is
to
start
including
exercise
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
actually
start
getting
our
patients
to
exercise
most.
H
J
To
this
area
of
work
in
our
community,
we
all
access,
Health
and
Human
Services
in
different
ways,
and
we
maybe
want
to
touch
on
away
the
some
aspects
of
that
that
you
may
not
have
thought
about
or
don't
ask
and
don't
don't
interact
with
it
every
day.
So
I
have
a
wonderful
panel
behind
me
today,
so
I'm
going
to
get
out
of
their
way.
Let's
see
come
down
here
and
I'm
gonna
ask
Marge
Alena.
If
you
will
introduce
yourself
I'm
your
organization
and
we'll
get
started
with
the
discussion.
Marginal.
M
J
I'm
going
to
invite
the
panel
members
to
take
a
seat,
let's
get
comfortable
as
we
have
the
discussion.
This
is
more
Kim
said
she.
You
still
have
your
microphone
right:
okay,
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
Talk
about
the
impact
between
income,
housing
and
healthcare.
I
think
that's
a
good
way
to
kind
of
tie
in
some
of
this
morning's
earlier
topics
and
get
us
kicked
off
with
our
discussion.
I'll.
N
Be
happy
to
thank
you
mast
and
it's
just
easier
for
me
to
talk
expanding
because
I
thought
with
my
hand,
so
I
apologize
for
that.
Thank
you,
Jennifer
and
thank
you
all
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here.
I
want
to
certainly
ditto
everything
that
grant
was
saying.
We
see
all
of
those
same
issues
with
the
persons
that
come
in
for
services
of
any
sort
at
open
door,
and
we
have
found
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
connections
between
housing,
stability,
persons
who
are
living
in
poverty
and
the
the
disconnect
that
often
takes
place
there.
N
So
you
can
just
imagine
that
if
you,
if
you
are
experiencing
homelessness
for
example,
and
you're
living
in
a
tent
or
an
abandoned
building,
how
difficult
it
is
to
access
any
sort
of
service,
you
certainly
can
imagine
if
you
live
in
poverty
and
you
are
not
making
above
a
minimum
wage
just
how
difficult
it
is
to
sustain
housing.
In
fact,
you
cannot
sustain
housing
on
just
a
minimum
wage
anywhere
in
the
country.
You
certainly
can't
do
it
in
Columbus
Georgia
too,
for
minimum
wage.
N
You
would
actually
have
to
work
over
80
hours
a
week
just
to
maintain
a
very
modest
one-bedroom
apartment
or
home,
and
so
what
we
try
to
do
at
open
door
is
really
help
people
connect
to
the
resources
that
are
available
to
them.
We've
talked
about
the
resources
that
are
here
in
this
community
and
there
are
many,
and
so
we
usually
talk
about
an
open
door,
helping
people
access
the
resources
that
are
available
to
them.
N
N
Well,
we
like
to
talk
about
also
accessing
things
that
are
skills
building,
that
is
education
building
that
helps
you
get
to
that
place
where
you
can
have
above
minimum
wage
income
so
that
you
can
sustain
your
housing
so
that
you
can
have
access
to
other
resources
that
are
available
to
you,
so
that
you
can
be
to
thrive
because
without
access
to
health
care,
which
we
have,
you
heard
him
talk
about
without
access
to
sustainable
housing,
that's
affordable
and
adequate,
and
certainly
without
access
to
enough
income
in
your
home
to
survive.
It's
just
impossible
to
do.
N
I
don't
know
many
people
who
make
forty
seven
dollars
an
hour
that
haven't
been
through
college
or
master's
program
or
or
whatever
that
takes
so
our
neighbors,
our
friends
who
live
around
us
who
come
to
open
door
for
services.
That's
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
connect
to
those
opportunities
where
they
can
get
at
least
livable
wage
for
the
household
size
that
they
reside
in.
G
And
now
add
on
to
that
with
identifying
some
of
the
resources
us
as
a
health
department.
We
are
a
resource
for
the
community,
but
what
we
started
to
see-
and
this
is
a
continuing
trend-
is
that
people
don't
necessarily
always
have
the
opportunity
to
come
and
access
us
we're
a
clinic
that
operates
from
8:00
to
5:00.
Everyone
can't
fit
in
the
parameters
of
those
working
hours,
so
we
had
to
start
thinking
outside
the
box
and
how
could
we
leverage
our
community
partners
and
one
of
those
out-of-the-box
ideas
that
we
went
with?
G
Was
our
WIC
on
wheels?
So
WIC
is
our
women,
infant
and
nutrition
program,
and
when
we
started
seeing
the
decline
in
people
accessing
that
program,
we
identified
a
need
which
is
going
to
the
people
to
find
where
they
are,
as
opposed
to
waiting
for
them
to
come
into
our
clinic.
So
we
have
a
mobile
unit
that
you'll
see
in
the
community.
G
J
You
Thank
You
Marcus
turn
the
turn
the
question
over
to
you
for
just
a
moment.
Thinking
about,
if
you
could
share
kind
of
your
perspective,
goodwill
does
a
lot
in
terms
of
job
training
and
workforce
development.
Can
you
talk
about
that
in
terms
of
some
of
the
barriers
that
we
might
have
heard
about
this
morning
or
barriers
that
you
see
within
individuals
who
are
coming
to
access
services
through
goodwill
and
opportunities
to
help
strengthen
that
support?
Sure.
M
Well,
as
grant
was
talking
about
when
right
before
the
session
here,
we
see
that
people
struggle
financially
and
have
a
lot
of
issues
with
mental
health
with
being
stable
and
being
able
to
gain
employment
to
be
self-sufficient.
Those
things
aren't
just
isolated
to
one
area
of
town.
Economic
development
affects
everybody,
you
don't
you
have
a
money
problem.
It
creates
a
lot
of
more
issues
in
your
life
and
the
people
that
come
into
our
Center
is
looking
for.
M
Employment
sometimes
have
had
very
little
training
very
little
work
experience
and
have
huge
barriers
because
they
haven't
even
seen.
Someone
in
the
house
go
to
work.
They've
never
had
a
working
parent,
maybe
they've
never
seen
someone
who's,
leaving
their
house
going
to
a
job
every
day.
That's
a
huge
barrier
for
someone
who
needs
to
find
a
job.
You
don't
know
where
to
start
how
to
look,
how
to
fill
out
an
application.
M
How
to
sell
yourself
how
to
interview
those
things
are
very
pervasive
across
areas
of
town
that
have
very
little
economic
development
in
struggling
models
that
continue
to
breathe
these
vicious
cycles
of
poverty
so
coming
to
Goodwill
and
one
of
the
training
centers
you'll
see
that
we
start
with
the
basics.
We
start
with
teaching
people
about
soft
skills.
How
do
you
sell
yourself?
How
do
you
talk
about
being
a
great
employee?
How
do
you
model
that
behavior?
How
do
you
actually
beyond?
How
do
you
dress
for
success?
J
And
I'll
just
encourage
any
of
the
panel
members
to
jump
in
I
may
direct
a
question
at
one
member
but
I
know
each
of
you
have
a
great
perspective
on
the
topics.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Marcus,
Asante,
social
determinants
and
in
terms
of
health
is
a
term
that
we're
hearing
more
of
I
mean
you
are
coming
to
know
you
as
an
expert
in
that
topic,
one
that
you're
very
passionate
about.
J
G
So
I
think
everybody
got
the
handout
in
front
of
you.
That's
our
Muscogee
County
infographic
that
talks
about
our
community
health
assessment.
It's
the
colorful,
long
page
that
you
have
and
that's
in
an
example
of
how
we're
looking
to
identify
what
are
the
social
determinants
of
health
affecting
our
Columbus
area.
What
are
the
things
that
we
don't
look
traditionally
as
impacting
health,
because
the
only
thing
health
you
think
health
care,
but
public
health
encompassing
encompasses
all
the
models
it
encompasses
housing?
How
are
people
living?
G
What
environments
are
they
in
our
children
in
homes
that
are
have
led
in?
Are
they
being
exposed
to
lead?
How
can
we
address
that
transportation?
How
are
people
accessing
our
services
if
they
cannot
get
the
and
what
does
that
barrier
look
like?
So
all
of
those
things,
obesity,
physical
activity,
food,
lack
of
food,
we
heard
from
dr.
Scarborough
earlier
that
they're
having
these
community
farms
so
that
we
can
get
produce
in
the
hands
of
people
who
may
not
have
access
to
it.
J
Thank
you
any
follow-up.
The
panel
members
I'm
gonna
transcend
you
touched
on
on
food,
and
you
heard
that
earlier
with
dr.
Scarborough
or
jelena
with
the
food
bank,
one
of
the
things
that
we
know
is
so
true,
I'm
thinking
about
the
education
panel
from
earlier
today,
it's
very
difficult
for
a
child
to
focus
on
their
school
day.
If
they're
hungry,
we
see
hunger
throughout
our
community
higher
among
our
children,
just
as
it's
difficult
for
children
to
be
productive,
pay
attention
at
school,
it's
difficult
for
adults
to
work
with
that.
K
We
actually
have
just
added
four
more
counties
to
our
area,
so
we
now
have
18
counties
from
Troop
all
the
way
down
to
Albany
and
we're
finding
more
and
more
that
the
children
in
our
seniors
are
sometimes
overlooked.
Also
our
working
families,
so
we're
getting
ready
pretty
soon
to
open,
after-hours
food
closet
because,
again
what
she
was
talking
about
with
the
WIC
mobile
a
lot
of
times.
The
people
cannot
come
to
our
facility
during
our
business
hours
so
and
also
we
have
backpack
programs.
We
have
all
kind
of
different
programs.
K
I
suggest
that
everyone
in
here
check
it
out,
there's
something
for
everyone,
whoever,
because
some
people
would
rather
have
to
help
the
kids
or
the
seniors
or
whatever,
there's
nothing
worse
than
having
to
wake
up
and
be
hungry
and
think
about
that
all
day.
Long-
and
you
know
part
of
our
goal
at
the
food
bank
is
like,
if
there's
a
national
disaster.
K
The
last
thing
we
want
somebody
to
think
about
when
they've
just
lost
everything
they
have
is
to
be
hungry,
because
their
whole
world
has
fallen
apart,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
help
them
with
that,
but
also
we
want
to
teach
people
to
cook.
Education
is
important
if
we're
going
to
help
poverty
and
help
these
people.
That's
that's
a
huge
part.
K
We
hope
to
start
programs
with
the
school-age
kids
and
bring
the
parents
in
and
allow
them
to
do
it
together
because
most
of
your
children,
they
know
how
to
pop
something
in
the
microwave
and
today,
even
with
a
lot
of
the
parents
when
we
hand
out
a
bag
of
dry
beans,
they're
like
what
do
I
do
with
that,
you
put
it
in
a
crock
pot.
You
put
a
little
piece
of
meat
in
there
and
you
let
it
cook
all
day.
But
the
thing
is
a
lot
of
people.
J
Thank
you,
Marge
Alayna,
you've
touched
on
a
key
word.
Asante
have
heard
it
throughout
the
morning
when
I
toss
it
out
to
the
panel
and
ask
for
Felice.
Someone
will
pick
up
this
topic
for
the
conversation.
We
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
resources
in
our
community
access.
Is
that
key
word
that
we've
touched
on
a
few
times
so
having
resources
available
and
then
having
them
accessible
are
two
different
things.
J
L
Of
the
things
we
see
is
social
service
providers
or
Health
and
Human
Services
we've
all
worked
together.
We
all
collaborate.
Our
agencies
are
just
a
small
representation
of
what's
already
out
there
in
the
community
helping
folks,
but
we
don't
work
in
silos.
We
cross,
we
cross
the
population
that
we
serve
and
we
work
together
in
collaboration
and
partnership,
and
we
wouldn't
be
successful.
None
of
us
would
be
successful
in
our
missions
without
that
collaboration
and
partnership
with
each
other.
L
Speaking
as
a
representative
of
an
agency
that
provides
mental
health
services
and
substance
abuse
services,
there
are
so
many
individuals
and
I
think
dr.
Scarborough
touched
on
this
that
have
an
underlying
mental
health
condition
or
addictive
disease
condition.
When
you
talk
about
children,
that
drop
out
of
school,
about
40%
of
them
have
underlying
mental
health
condition,
children
that
are
in
juvenile
justice,
individuals
that
are
incarcerated
in
the
prison
systems.
Individuals
experiencing
unemployment,
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
on
the
streets,
dr.
Scarborough
said
over
50%
of
them
have
an
underlying
mental
illness
and
then
probably
another
22.
L
I'm
sorry,
another
20
25
percent
have
issues
with
substances
and
they
may
be
self-medicating
with
substances
because
of
an
underlying
health
mental
health
condition.
But
we
all
work
together
and
we've
got
to
treat
these
instances
of
individuals
not
in
a
silo.
Somebody
may
need
help
from
New
Horizons,
but
then
they
may
need
employment
services
from
Goodwill
and
they
may
need
access
to
health
services
through
the
Health
Department
I
know.
We
send
folks
defeating
the
valley
all
the
time
that
he
need
assistance
with
food,
so
we
work
together
to
make
the
community
better.
M
You
know
I'll
jump
in
and
what
Susan
just
said,
one
of
the
things
that
we
know
as
community
resource
providers
that
you
can't
be
all
things
to
all
people
and
there's
a
lot
of
need.
We
heard
that
earlier
that
in
some
communities,
what
happens
when
there
are
no
fish
to
give
out
or
what
happens
when
other
there
are
no
fish
left
being
collaborative
as
a
resource
providers
in
the
community
is
very
important,
but
one
of
the
things
that
turns
people
off
there
in
need.
M
When
you
go
to
one
place
and
you
figure,
they
can
help
your
need
and
you
feel,
like
you,
have
another
door
show
up
in
your
face
or
closing
your
Facebook
to
say.
I
can't
do
that
here,
but
I
have
a
friend
down
the
street.
Who
can
do
that?
Well,
the
barriers
about
transportation,
childcare
I
have
someone
who's
watching
my
child
now
I
have
a
ride
here.
M
Now
I
came
to
handle
this
now,
but
I
can't
get
there
tomorrow
or
the
next
day
and
those
are
the
realities
of
the
population
of
the
people
that
are
in
dire
need
that
really
need
services
and
sometimes
there's
even
a
social
services
providers.
We
struggle
with
saying
how
can
we
help
them
get
to
the
next
spot,
and
so
the
need?
Is
there
it's
great?
Well,
there
are
a
lot
of
resources,
there's
a
lot
of
barriers
that
create
problems
for
people
accessing
those
resources
here
in
the
community
and.
G
I
think
that's
an
area
for
opportunity
for
us
working
together,
because
people
will
reach
that
that
point
of
fatigue
so
I've
gone
to
this
agency
and
I've
done.
The
intake
process
and
I
work
with
them
and
I
have
to
go
to
another
agency
and
do
the
intake
process
over
there
and
do
that
so
we're
seeing
that
as
an
opportunity
for
us,
even
though
we're
not
working
in
silo.
But
how
can
we
better
integrate
so
we
can
serve
the
population,
we're
serving
usually
they're
the
same
population?
G
J
You
may
commit
you
may
be
going
in
the
direction
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
housing,
the
work
that
we're
doing
in
terms
of
access
around
housing,
I'd
love
for
you
to
touch
on
that
as
a
housing
provider.
If
you
could
in
terms
of
the
coordinated
entry
approach
and
how
providers
are
coming
together
to
meet
the
needs
of
work,
working
together
in
new
and
more
collaborative
ways,
sure.
N
I'll
talk
about
that
as
well,
but
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
a
quick
story
related
to
what
we
were
talking
about
a
minute
ago
had
a
conversation
a
couple
of
years
ago
with
a
young
lady
who
was
a
freshman
in
college.
She
had
come
through
our
program
and
she
was
learning
to
drive.
She
knew
that
as
she
went
to
college,
she
would
need
to
not
have
to
take
the
bus
to
get
back
and
forth
to
work
and
back
and
forth
to
school.
N
So
she
asked
if
I
had
a
small
car
have
a
small
car,
so
she
asked
if
I
could
help
her
learn
to
parallel
park.
It
was
like,
of
course,
and
so
we
went
to
the
park
and
learned
to
parallel
park
and
shortly
after
she
asked
me
if
I
would
help
her
get
a
cart
and
I
assumed
that
meant
go
with
her
to
look
for
a
car.
As
the
conversation
continued
I
realized
she
meant
for
me
to
go,
buy
her
a
car
so
that
led
to
a
different
kind
of
conversation.
N
But
what
happened
as
a
result
of
that
was
I
said
something
to
her
about.
Well,
you
know.
That's
an
expensive
purchase,
and
so
you
need
to
save
money.
You
know
from
your
income,
save
save
some
back
so
that
you
can
purchase
and
she
said
what
is
income,
and
that
was
one
of
the
most
sobering
conversations
I've
ever
had
with
a
young
person,
because
here's
a
college
freshman
who
had
no
idea
what
income
was
or
how
to
obtain
it,
which
led
to
us
really
taking
a
look
at.
N
N
J
Thank
you
Susan
tell
us
one
thing
that
mental
health
is
one
of
those
aspects.
We
talk
about
physical
health,
we
can
see
some
some
signs
of
physical
health
and
things
that
might
might
need
to
be
addressed.
Mental
health
is
something
we
don't
always
see,
help
us
be
better
friend,
co-worker
family
member
to
someone
who
may
be
suffering
experiencing
mental
health
and
silence
help
us
be
a
better
advocate
for
that
in
our
community.
I.
L
Think
it
begins
with
kindness
if
we
just
became
a
kinder,
more
gentler
society,
doctor
Scarborough
kept
saying
a
community
of
Shalom,
and
if
we
could
all
have
that
peace,
that
would
be
great
I've
been
talking
for
about
a
year
now
about
stigmatization
of
the
brain.
It's
an
organ
of
the
body
that
we
tend
to
treat
differently
than
other
organs
in
the
body.
L
If
somebody
had
problems
with
their
pancreas
that
was
causing
diabetes,
I
hope,
I
mentioned,
is
that
the
organ
that
would
cause
diabetes
would
be
the
pancreas
I
might
get
the
organs
wrong,
but
you
wouldn't
stigmatize
somebody
for
having
diabetes.
You
would
encourage
them
to
get
treatment.
You
might
ask
them
to
go
on
a
walk
when
it
comes
to
brain
health.
We
stigmatize
the
brain
and
we
look
at
it
as
a
an
individual
weakness
with.
Maybe
somebody
that's
experienced
anxiety
or
mental
health
issues,
mental
health
challenges
and
I
just
think.
L
We
need
to
realize
that
the
brain
is
an
organ.
Like
any
other
organ
in
the
body,
you
could
have
health
relations,
health
problems
with
your
brain
and
we
need
to
be
accepting
and
reduce
stigma
around
and
I.
Think
that
would
go
a
long
way.
We
see
a
lot
of
celebrities
now
that
are
talking
about
their
mental
health
challenges.
People
are
talking
more
about
suicide
in
the
news
and
the
more
we
talk
about
it
and
the
more
at
we
advocate
for
mental
health.
J
K
Many
people
know
in
this
room:
I
went
through
the
house
of
time,
I
came
in
in
2010
and
have
ten
years
of
sobriety
in
January
from
meth
addiction.
I've
been
very
fortunate.
That
I
have
got
a
lot
of
support,
and
in
that
program
they
taught
us
a
lot
of
things.
We
did
exercise.
We
learned
to
cook
meals.
We
learned
to
budget
our
money,
because
what
I
have
found
is
a
lot
of
times
what
we're
doing
and
I'm
not
saying
anything
negative
about
anything
that
anyone's
doing
after
we
put
someone
into
a
house
there.
K
K
I
am
a
four-time
convicted
felon
and
to
look
at
me
you
cannot
tell
all
this
stuff
ten
years
ago
when
I
walked
in.
You
could
see
it
written
all
over
me
and
it's
because
of
programs
in
this
community
and
another
thing:
when
we're
going
out
looking
for
jobs,
we
need
people
to
help
us
build
our
self-esteem,
because
I
couldn't
get
a
job,
because
I
didn't
think
that
I
was
worthy
of
anything
and
and
then
feeding
the
valley
gave
me
an
opportunity
that
I
mean
I've.
K
Just
they
said
they,
cracked
the
door
and
I
keep
doing
open.
I
got
to
slow
down
my
goal.
You
know
when
I
got
here,
I
didn't
think
I
could
work
anywhere
besides
McDonald's
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
McDonald's,
but
today
I
know
that
I
could
eventually
be
CEO
there
or
CEO
somewhere
else,
and
it's
because
of
these
programs
and
I'm.
No
longer
that
statistic
you
know:
I
have
a
very
horrible
childhood,
with
lots
of
abuse,
child
born
out
of
rape
and
different
things,
but
those
things
no
longer
have
to
hinder
me.
K
But
I
did
not
know
that
until
I
was
educated
on
that,
and
that's
why
I
say
again
and
again:
education
is
crucial,
but
also
for
these
people
that
are
in
the
program,
these
different
programs.
They
mentorship,
find
someone
that
they
can
mint
be
mentored
by
because
you
know
I
have
a
couple
of
mentors
and
they
help
me
and
I
stutter.
So
I
get
nervous
and-
and
you
know,
I
have
different
issues.
They
helped
me
to
walk
through
that
stuff,
because
you
know
10
years
ago,
I
couldn't
sat
here
in
front
of
you
all.
K
You
guys
and
thought
that
I
was
just
I'm
equal
with
you,
because
I
always
thought
that
I
wasn't
and
I
am
your
path
was
just
a
little
different
than
mine,
but
I
have
a
perspective
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
in
this
room,
and
that's
because
I've
been
through
all
that
stuff
and
I
know
that
there,
a
lot
of
us
can
make
it,
but
also
something
that,
when
we're
helping
these
people
are
we
helping
them.
Are
we
hindering
them?
What
are
they?
K
What
is
their
responsibility
when
they
step
up
to
the
plate
to
receive
these
resources?
Are
they
volunteering
or
they?
Now?
Some
people
cannot
I
understand
that
completely.
But
what
are
we
are
we
just
giving
and
giving
and
giving
or
we
allowing
them
to
become
who
they
need
to
be?
It's
very
important
and
I
think
the
only
ugly
thing
I
can
say
sometimes
is
there's
not
enough
communication
between
all
of
us.
Okay,
like
really
feedback.
K
J
O
Hello
fisherman
crab,
we
have
a
question,
I,
know:
you're,
not
a
silo
and
so
I'm
wondering.
Is
there
one
location
that
somebody
can
go
to
and
put
applications
in
for
all
the
assistance
from
all
the
different
organizations.
J
There,
in
terms
of
all
of
the
services
that
exist
in
our
community,
there
is
not
at
this
time,
I'll
offer
two
resources
and
then
turn
it
back
over
to
two
Asante,
as
Kim
mentioned,
for
housing.
For
someone
who
is
unsheltered
and
seeking
housing
services
calling
2-1-1
we'll
start
a
coordinated,
shared
application
process
and
within
a
database
that
is
shared
among
there's,
a
sharing
agreement
among
the
housing
providers,
so
that
it
is
about
finding
that
best
right
fit
in
terms
of
resources
to
one
one
information.
Referral
is
a
great
resource.
J
O
It
assist
you
to
have
other
than
just
the
two
on
one,
but
have
like
a
hub
or
something
that
an
individual
could
go
to
one
one-stop
shop
and
get
the
needed.
You
know
all
of
you
are
there
at
one
place
in
being
represented
by
somebody,
so
that
there's
one
place
that
they
can
go
instead
of
having
to
go
here
and
there
because
transportation
sounds
like
it's
an
issue
that
assists.
G
You
I
would
say
what
you
just
described
is
the
most
ideal
scenario.
That's
what
we
want.
That
would
be
great
if
we
could
have
that,
but
we're
not
there.
Yet
I
says
the
Health
Department
we're
working
with
the
poverty
reduction
coalition
to
see
if
we
can
develop
something
like
what
you
just
described
a
place
where
you
can
apply
to
multiple
agencies
in
with
one-stop
shopping,
but
that's
it
doesn't
exist
yet.
J
And
we
have
gotten
the
stop
sign.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
panel
for
being
here
today.
Thank
you
for
sharing
what
you
thank
you
for
your
service
to
the
community
and
sharing
and
Marlina.
Your
story
is
a
story
of
hope
and
promise
and
I
just
encourage
us
all
to
see,
see
that
opportunity
and
be
the
source
of
hope
for
our
friends,
our
families,
our
co-workers
and
help
inspire
others
to
do
great
things
in
our
community.
Our
panel
members
I
think
will
two
or
two
at
least
are
staying
throughout
the
today
and
tomorrow.
J
P
Is
not
being
honest
with
itself
and,
as
you
heard
from
the
Columbus
2025
talk
this
morning,
we
have.
We
have
real
issues
in
our
community,
but
I
believe
because
we
love
each
other.
We
can
find
ways
to
work
together
to
move
our
community
forward
to
be
what
we
want
it
to
be.
So
my
hope
for
all
of
us
is
that
over
these
two
days,
we're
learning
a
lot
of
the
what
and
maybe
some
of
the
why
and
talking
to
each
other
about
some
of
the.
Why
and
then,
when
we
leave,
the
thought
will
be.
P
How
might
we
work
together
to
advance
this
community
farther
even
faster
so
as
we
think
about
community
leadership,
because
that's
what
that
is
I'm
going
to
introduce
our
speaker
today
and
tell
you
I'm
just
so
glad
any
time
he's
in
our
community.
It's
a
better
community,
Otis
white
actually
grew
up
here
and
at
the
risk
of
dating
you,
I
will
tell
you
that
he
just
graduated.
He
just
celebrated
his
50th
reunion
from
Columbus,
High,
School
and
I
know
this,
because
they
were
good
enough
to
invite
me
to
a
program.
They
did
a
real,
interesting
documentary.
P
Let
me
make
sure
I
got
this
right.
Y'all
were
the
first
class
to
be
fully
integrated
and
go
all
the
way
through
Columbus
High,
I
think
which
is
fantastic,
and
they
did
a
little
documentary
for
their
reunion
about
what
that
experience
was
like
and
how
it
had
changed.
The
people
who
were
part
of
that
from
every
perspective
and
I
love
getting
included
and
getting
to
see
it
so
Otis
left
here
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
that
his
bio
is
in
our
great
little
handy,
flip.
Chart
and
I
want
you
to
refer
to
it.
P
For
25
years,
he's
been
the
head
of
civic
strategies,
which
I'm
going
to
describe
as
a
company
that
helps
communities
dream
better
and
helps
build
civic
leadership,
and
he
has
always
been
interested
in
civic
leadership
in
Columbus
and
I'm.
Sure
he's
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
today.
How
what
looks
like
leadership
in
our
community
has
changed
over
the
years.
I'm
gonna
tell
you
that
I
don't
want
to
I,
don't
want
to
blow
your
surprise,
but
he
loves
Columbus,
which
is
great
and
I
love
it.
P
You
were
no
longer
at
Georgia
trend
then,
but
he
wrote
this
article
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you.
I
have
one
copy
of
it
with
me
today,
I'm
happy
to
kind
of
pass
it
around.
I
love
this
article.
It's
called
urban
revival,
the
building
that
changed
Columbus,
and
so
the
picture
is
the
River
Center.
But
the
article
talks
about
a
lot
more
than
just
the
River
Center.
It
talks
about
how
leadership
and
Columbus
created
an
opportunity
that,
let
us
imagine
a
reality
different
than
what
we
saw
every
day.
P
So
this
is
kind
of
a
micro
course
in
how
we
got
to
where
we
are,
and
maybe
it's
something
that
Richard
Bishop
and
his
team
can
share.
With
all
of
you
later
electronically,
but
if
you
want
my
hard
copy,
I've
got
it.
I'm
gonna
sit
down
because
every
minute
you
get
with
Otis
White
is
a
great
minute,
so
Otis
join
us.
Thank
you.
Q
Well,
thank
you
Betsy,
you
are,
you
are
too
kind
and
too
generous
and
I
can
only
disappoint
from
this
point
forward.
So
thank
you
for
inviting
me
here
today,
mayor
Henderson.
Thank
you
for
inviting
me.
It
is
it's
good
to
be
home,
good,
be
home,
and
it's
especially
good
to
come
back
to
a
city
that
is
far
better
than
the
one
I
left
in
early
1976
when
I
moved
away.
Q
Now
I'm
going
to
spare
you
the
10,000
words,
I
wrote
in
this
series
of
articles
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
headline,
because
here
was
the
headline:
not
only
did
Columbus
in
1975
have
the
worst
downtown
in
both
appearance
and
economic
vitality
of
any
of
these
cities.
It
was
the
only
one
that
had
no
plan
for
changing
things
in
fact,
didn't
even
have
much
public
or
political
will
to
change
things.
Q
Q
Now
the
good
part
is
I've.
Given
you,
some
of
the
good
stuff
Columbus
has
made
astonishing
progress
since
1976.
In
fact,
it's
made
astonishing
progress
since
1997
that
which
is
the
the
first
time
this
event
was
done.
So
I
want
to
start
today,
but
just
telling
you
how
much
you
have
changed
in
22
years,
because
sometimes
when
you
live
in
a
city,
it's
really
hard
to
see
the
change.
That's
going
on
around
you,
it's
it's
like
you
need
one
of
those.
Before
and
after
photographs
you
can
see.
Q
Q
You
had
hosted
one
of
the
games
of
the
1996
Summer
Olympics
in
a
brand
new
softball
complex,
oh
and
Columbus
College
had
just
become
a
university
Columbus,
State
University.
Now
you
put
all
these
things
together.
This
was
an
awful
lot
of
progress
to
be
made
in
a
city
that
twenty
years
before
had
been
old,
tired,
dispirited,
cynical
Columbus,
but
as
it
turned
out,
that
was
just
the
prelude.
So
here's
the
after
picture
I
could
do
this.
The
right
way.
Q
The
River
Center
was
built.
Columbus
State
University
began
to
move
to
its
downtown
campus
that
set
off
an
incredible
revival
of
Uptown
Columbus.
Hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
was
raised
for
both
Columbus
State
University
and
the
arts
in
two
amazing
fundraising
drives.
The
infantry
museum
was
built
at
fort
benning,
one
of
the
finest
military
museums
in
the
world
along
Macon
Road.
You
turn
to
failed
shopping
mall
into
one
of
the
state's
best
public
libraries.
A
pedestrian
bridge
was
built
across
the
Chattahoochee
River,
so
you
could
see
whitewater.
Q
Zip
lines,
and
with
these
things
Columbus
became
an
honest-to-goodness
tourist
destination
for
the
first
time
in
its
history
and
as
a
result
of
these
things
new
event,
spaces
were
built
along
the
river,
including
this
one.
Now
you
put
all
these
things
together
before
it's
97
and
after
97,
and
this
is
a
tidal
wave
of
civic
progress
by
any
city
standards.
I
hope
everybody
in
this
room
appreciates
just
how
far
this
city
has
come
and
how
fast
the
change
has
been
but-
and
you
knew
there
was
gonna-
have
to
be
a
butt
in
there
somewhere.
Q
The
road
ahead
will
be,
if
not
more
difficult
than
the
last
40
years.
It's
certainly
going
to
be
different
and
require
a
different
approach
and
to
understand
why
I'd
like
to
use
a
metaphor
that
I
learned
20
years
ago
in
a
book
by
a
Harvard
professor,
named
Rosabeth,
Moss
Kanter
and
in
the
book
she
wrote
and
I'm
gonna
boil
it
way
down
for
you
here
that
what
successful
cities
needed
were
magnets
and
they
needed
glue.
They
needed
things
that
brought
people
to
the
city.
In
the
first
place
it
could
be
a
strong
and
growing
economy.
Q
Big
big
employers,
it
could
be
a
university
like
Columbus,
State
University,
which
draws
people
from
the
outside
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
still
true
and
I,
but
I'm.
Confident
this
if
I'm,
not
correct
in
saying,
is
I'm
almost
correct
in
saying
this
Columbus
State,
University's,
freshman
class
has
at
least
half
of
the
class
comes
from
the
Atlanta
metro
area.
I
did,
which
I
find
just
astonishing.
Q
That's
that
that's
the
case,
but
my
understanding
is
that
the
incoming
freshman
classes
at
Columbus,
State
University
these
days
is
half
made
up
of
people
from
the
Atlanta
metro
area
coming
to
Columbus.
So
the
magnet
could
be
a
university
that
pulls
students
in
from
the
outside.
It
could
be
a
beautiful
and
fun
downtown
which
you
now
have.
So
all
of
this
is
the
magnet
stuff.
It
gets
people
to
move
to
a
city,
or
at
least
come
here
for
a
visit,
maybe
go
to
whitewater,
say
wow.
This
is
really
a
cool
town
and
consider
moving
there.
Q
But
if
a
city
is
successful
in
the
long
haul,
professor
Cantor
wrote
it
has
to
be
good
at
holding
people
there
so
that
if
the
job
goes
away
or
the
young
person
graduates
from
college,
they
don't
want
to
leave.
They'll
start
their
own
company.
They'll,
look
for
another
job,
they'll
change,
their
entire
line
of
work.
They'll
do
anything
to
stay
in
the
city
because
it
has
such
a
hold
on
them
now.
Q
Think
you're
gonna
need
more
glue
and
here's
the
difficult
part,
because
what
people
really
identify
with
what
really
holds
them
in
a
place
isn't
usually
the
city
as
much
as
it
is
their
neighborhood.
So
if
you
want
Columbus
to
continue
with
success
and
to
do
so
in
bad
times
as
well
as
in
good
you're,
gonna
have
to
find
ways
of
strengthening
neighborhoods
and
that's
gonna,
be
again,
if
not
more
difficult,
certainly
a
different
task
in
the
40
year
task
of
building
a
great
downtown.
Q
Why
well
I'll
give
you
there
are
a
lot
of
reasons,
but
I'm
gonna
give
you
three
of
them.
The
first
is
downtown's,
have
large
commercial
interests
duh,
and
these
interests
can
contribute
to
efforts
to
improve
the
downtown's.
That's
a
big
reason.
The
uptown
business
district
exists
today
is
to
help
out
to
marshal
these
commercial
interests
to
help
in
the
in
the
continued
Renaissance
of
Uptown
Columbus.
Now
nobody
in
this
room
is
going
to
be
surprised
at
these
large
commercial
interests.
I
enlarge
do
not
exist
in
most
of
our
neighborhoods.
Q
The
second
thing
is:
downtown's
are
used
by
pretty
much
everybody,
I,
remember
being
with
a
woman
once
in
in
a
city
in
Florida,
and
she
said
you
know
everybody
feels
like
they
have
two
neighborhoods
in
this
town.
They
have
their
neighborhood
and
then
they
have
downtown
that
sort
of
seen
as
neutral
ground
so
that
when
a
government
invests
in
a
downtown,
a
lot
of
people
will
support
it
because
at
some
point
everybody
thinks
well
I'll
walk
on
that
Riverwalk
or
I'll
go
to
an
event
down
at
the
Civic,
Center
or
I'll.
Q
Take
a
stroll
across
that
Frank
Martin
bridge.
But
neighborhoods
aren't
like
that.
Mostly
they
are
for
the
people
who
live
in
them,
not
for
outsiders.
So
if
the
government
spends
money
in
your
neighborhood
and
not
in
this
neighborhood,
a
lot
of
people,
there
think
and
I
think
a
little
bit
unfairly,
but
they
but
naturally
well
I'm,
not
gonna,
get
any
benefit
from
the
money
that's
been
over
here.
Q
I,
don't
want
it
to
be
spent
over
there,
but
the
third,
and
maybe
the
most
important
reason
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
different
task
and
I
think
maybe
even
a
more
difficult
task
than
the
great
turnaround
of
downtown
Columbus
is
that
over
the
1980s
and
90s
city
after
city
developed
a
kind
of
playbook
for
turning
around
downtown's,
using
Street,
scapes
and
walkability,
and
housing
and
mixed-use
development
and
events
and
concerts
and
nightlife
and
Business,
Improvement,
Districts
and
transit,
and
so
on.
Now,
as
Richard
Benjamin,
it's
Richard
Bishop
will
tell
you.
Q
None
of
this
stuff
is
easy.
None
of
it
is
easy,
but
at
least
it
is
known,
and
if
you
do
it
well,
the
downtown
should
respond.
We
don't
have
a
playbook
for
strengthening
neighborhoods,
yet
yet
maybe
one
day
we
will.
Hopefully
we
will
soon,
but
for
the
moment
when
it
comes
to
neighborhoods
and
what
how
you
turn
around
or
how
you
strengthen,
or
simply
how
you
keep
a
strong
neighborhood,
strong,
we're
kind
of
like
downtown's
were
in
the
1970s.
We
trying
to
figure
this
stuff
out.
So
what
do
we
do?
Q
Given
all
these
things,
the
known
and
the
unknown,
how
do
we
help
neighborhoods
be
safe
and
welcoming
and
attractive?
How
do
we
tackle
what
I
think
is
going
to
be
the
next
great
chapter
for
Columbus
and
we
create
more
glue
that
holds
people
here?
Well,
as
you
know,
and
you've
probably
heard
a
little
bit
of
it
today,
the
government
can
do
some
things
for
troubled
neighborhoods.
It
can
condemn
and
tear
down
abandoned
houses.
It
can
force
building
codes.
It
can
clean
up
vacant
lots.
Q
It
could
put
more
cops
on
the
beat
if
you
could
ever
hire
enough
cops.
Every
Police,
Department
I,
know
anywhere
in
the
country,
and
probably
the
one
here
in
Columbus
is
under
staff
because
they
have
trouble
recruiting
recruiting
police
officers.
You
could
offer
some
social
programs
that
will
help
children,
recreation
centers.
These
sorts
of
things
and
these
this
stuff
will
help.
It
really
will
help
in
neighborhoods,
at
least
for
the
short
term,
but
eventually
the
focus
will
shift
from
one
neighborhood
to
another
and
then
what
happens?
Q
Q
We
I
heard
Marquette
speaking
earlier
about
what
she
was
trying
to
do
in
this
neighborhood.
That
is
absolutely
right.
Dr.
Scarborough
talked
about
85%
of
people
in
any
neighborhood,
and
I
mean
whether
you're
talking
about
Hilton
road
or
this
neighborhood.
Here,
85%
of
the
people
are
good
people
who
love
their
neighborhood
want
to
do
well
by
it
and
15%
on
all
parts
of
the
city
or
stinkers.
Q
This
is
the
same
challenge
that
is
being
faced
by
cities
everywhere
in
the
country.
As
we
enter
the
third
decade
of
the
21st
century,
many
cities
have
figured
out
how
to
turn
their
downtown's
around.
They
haven't
done
it
as
dramatically
as
Columbus
has
done
it
there,
they're,
not
quite
where
you
are
yet,
but
they're
all
playing
off
that
same
playbook
and
now
they're
looking
for
ways
of
strengthening
their
neighborhoods,
while
making
sure
again
that
the
downtown's
continue
their
progress.
Q
So
so,
how
do
we
do
that?
How
do
we
get
more
people?
Just
average
citizens?
The
residents
involved
in
neighborhood
improvement
efforts
and
and
I
have
to
tell
you
that's
a
really
good
question:
I'm
working
on
a
project
in
Atlanta
right
now,
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
build
thoughtful
and
effective
neighborhood
leaders
and
we're
just
getting
started
in
this
in
some
ways.
A
Q
One
of
the
reasons
I
wanted
to
come
and
it
wasn't
to
tell
you
the
answer,
but
to
ask
you
for
the
answer.
I
want
to
ask
your
help
today
to
help
us
figure
out.
How
do
you
get
more
people
involved
in
neighborhood
improvement
again
in
the
neighborhood
associations,
the
crime
watch
groups,
the
PTAs,
the
Scout
troops
of
recreation,
stuff,
the
community
gardens,
so
that
could
neighbors
know
neighbors
and
we
create
more
of
that
glue.
That
makes
people
want
to
stay
in
cities
and
we
make
our
neighborhoods
better.
Q
Now,
incidentally,
as
these
photographs
sort
of
demonstrate,
nothing
brings
people
together
in
a
neighborhood.
Quite
like
children
do
I,
don't
know
if
you
had
the
same
experience.
I
had
as
a
kid,
but
my
first
and
some
of
my
best
friends
to
this
day
are
the
people
I
met
as
children
living
down
the
street
for
me
up
in
North
Columbus.
Q
So
it
turns
out.
Not
only
do
we
form
connections
as
children,
but
I
learned
as
a
parent
that
my
children
ended
up
connecting
me
to
a
lot
of
people
in
the
neighborhood
I
met
them
through
the
PTA
got
to
know
the
folks
there.
So
here's
what
I'd
like
you
to
ask
you
to
do
I
want
to
ask
you
to
come
up
with
some
answers.
I'm
gonna
make
a
few
notes
as
you
talk
and
in
heads
up.
If
you
come
up
with
some
good
ideas,
I'm
gonna,
steal
them
and
I'm
gonna.
Q
Q
Q
Just
talk
for
a
few
moments
about
what
your
ideas
are,
what
you
could
do,
what
what
again
city
could
do
another
group
could
do
you
can
do
to
begin
to
get
people
involved
in
improving
their
neighborhoods
and
then
I'll.
Ask
you
to
come
up
with
somebody.
I
want
to
hear
some
of
your
ideas
so
start
talking.
F
Q
Q
Q
Did
did
you
all
hear
that
so
so
so
the
most
intelligent
group
said
hey:
if
we
could
just
have
more
pride
in
the
neighborhood,
we
could
get,
we
could
get
more
people
involved
and
the
second
most
intelligent
table
here
said
and
the
way
you
do,
that
is
one
person.
At
a
time
you
just
take
pride
in
your
house.
You'll
put
some
flowers
out,
you
make
it
look
nice,
the
next-door
neighbor
will
say:
wow
I,
didn't
know,
you
could
do
that
and
that's
sort
of
how
you
begin
to
build
pride.
Q
T
Q
If
you
hurt,
if
you
heard
what
Adrienne
said,
if
you
could
begin
by
identifying
a
challenge
for
the
neighborhood
and
and
and
there
is
I,
don't
think
there
says
in
the
history
of
Community
Improvement,
the
d-o-t
in
any
state
has
been
the
greatest
unifier
of
neighborhoods
that
you
have
ever
seen,
because
when
they
want
to
come
in
and
tear
up
your
neighborhood,
that
will
bring
people
together
like
crazy.
So
do
T's
are
well
known.
So
that
might
be
one
of
the
challenges,
but
it
might
be
something
else.
Q
It
might
be
a
crime
problem
or
it
might
be
a
health
problem
or
something
else,
but
something
that
the
neighborhood
can
begin
to
rally
around
can
bring
people
in
other
ideas.
I
don't
want
to
collect
this
part
of
the
room,
the
end
of
the
day.
People
are
actually
sitting
down
and
meeting
their
neighbors
and
not
just
lobbying
insults
at
each
other
through
social
media.
This
is
great
and
it's
a
great
facilitator
of
conversation,
but
it
has
to
end
with
face-to-face
what
I
wanted
one
more
idea,
because
you
all
have
something
else
to
do
this
afternoon.
B
About
the
kids
that
you,
those
lifelong
friends
and-
and
we
do
think
it
starts
with
kids
and
families
coming
together
as
Katie
was
saying,
coming
together
in
communal
moments.
But
what
we
believe
that
the
city
could
help
with
is
returning
some
more
passive
park
land
so
that
kids
have
places
to
play
and
they're,
not
necessarily
going
to
recreational
Supercenter
outside
their
neighborhoods
got.
Q
It
so
the
city
can
do
things
to
create
spaces
within
neighborhood
small
parks.
The
neighbors
can
meet
one
another,
maybe
be
by
walking
their
dogs,
they
can
they're
walking
their
dogs
down
and
they
meet.
They
meet
them
at
the
at
the
part,
and
next
thing
you
know
they're
their
Facebook
friends
and
they're
having
potluck
dinners
and
they've
got
a
cause
to
come
about.
You
know
and
they're
building,
neighborhood
pride
and
we've
unified
the
addition
entire.
You
know
unified
playbook
that
we
have
here
pretty
soon.
