NYC Opportunity and NORC at the University of Chicago have released a new evaluation report and practitioners’ guide highlighting the promise of participatory design to promote the emotional wellbeing for vulnerable populations.   Environments Promoting Wellness and Resilience (EmPWR) was a collaborative effort between the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the NYC Human Resources Administration, and NYC Opportunity to enhance the built environment of domestic violence shelters. The program partnered architects with shelter residents and staff in a participatory process to redesign communal spaces that support the social-emotional needs of survivors, fostering a trauma-informed environment that emphasizes safety, trust, and choice. The evaluation found that both shelter residents and staff reported that the redesigned spaces had a positive influence on their overall wellbeing, improving residents’ mood and sense of safety.   The accompanying practitioners’ guide provides actionable step-by-step guidance and to enhance the built environment of communal spaces in various social service settings. The guide presents participatory design strategies and activities to ensure that staff, resident, and stakeholder perspectives are included throughout various phases of the project, from determining readiness and site assessment, to design planning, installation, and sustainability. https://lnkd.in/e2_mZRUh

The labor market was sharply disrupted in 2021, and the government allocated an extraordinary amount of benefits to people affected by the pandemic. Although the data for the 2021 report was less than ideal, the report has an important lesson: government benefits of this kind can have a profound impact on the rate of poverty.
