A community wishes to build a playground area in a low-income housing complex that will provide a place for children to play and help bridge the gap in youth obesity, self-esteem and anxiety issues, among the many other benefits that play brings to participating youths. The community has very limited access to playground equipment and families may lack transportation to take their children to another city park or gym. The space will foster a healthy lifestyle and help steer children from excess screen time or undesired activities.

A city wishes to turn an unused school building into a men’s-only homeless shelter that will help keep men in need off the streets and focused on getting the help they need to become self-sufficient. In a city that has 14% of its male population living homeless, the shelter will address a critical need and support a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness.
