That's very nice Tom, kids in our neighborhood can walk to school and we've built our own neighborhood watch and camaraderie, however, many neighborhoods sadly lack even that
Kristen -- I think these are all great ideas. In tough economic times, it's easy for people to isolate themselves and anything that encourages more interactions among neighbors can only be positive. Walking more places in our neighborhoods is not on…

Thoughts I've Had on "Walkable Communities"
During this current crisis/challenge/opportunity in our economy, many people have began to change their living habits. I downsized back to my mom's house and used it as a base to create and cultivate new opportunities. Others have been forced to make other decisions, like give up their home, car or other valuable objects.

- Hi Kristen, and welcome to Leaders for Communities! Feel free to surf around, join in a discussion and find what interests you. Also, since you are a job seeker, you might want to check out CareersforGood.org--this is a site of one of our partner organizations and we're planning to link directly to that site soon for our jobs section. It's a site that compiles all of the jobs from Idealist.org that are related to the community development and human services sectors.
Welcome and good luck!

Thanks Vince. At this time, I know non-profits do not have access to RD's loan origination software, UniFi. I'm not sure how much we've discussed the issues of access to CAIVRS in the 502 course.
