Temple Grandin. Temple’s strategy has been multifaceted but involves a somewhat chronological sequence of research, design and invention; building public support and generating industry buy-in, and then expanding. The two most fundamental components of her work are first to build awareness that a problem exists and that needless animal suffering is wrong; second, to design solutions that the livestock and meat industries might be receptive to. Temple has been a leading advocate for the humane treatment of animals in this country and around the world. Conchy Bretos. Conchy’s mission is to make assisted living accessible to low-income and disabled seniors who either live or are eligible to live in public housing facilities. Interested PHAs contact MIA Consulting directly to initiate an inexpensive feasibility study where Conchy and her team determine local demand for assisted living services and explain the process of financing and operating an ALF to the PHA’s staff and board of directors.

If the PHA ultimately decides to move ahead with the project, then MIA Consulting guides the PHA through all the necessary steps to set up an effective and financially sound ALF, including retrofitting existing public housing buildings to meet government licensing standards for ALFs; hiring and training staff, many of whom are minority single mothers who also live in public housing; recruiting residents; buying supplies; monitoring regulatory compliance; and managing initial ALF operations.

Dr. Marshall identifies ten new risk factors and develops a system to directly address them that has proven much more successful than traditional efforts to stop violence. Andy Lipkis. A leader in the emerging field of integrated resource management, Andy plans to convert cities into sustainable generators of natural abundance by combining community-based urban forestry with urban watershed management.

Functioning Community Forests (FCF) combines green infrastructure, including trees and tree-mimicking technologies, with integrated agency management and extensive community engagement. When cities function as forests, they work in concert with nature’s cycles of flood, drought and waste. The National Research Council recognizes urban watershed management as a “laboratory for testing…new institutional, technical and cultural strategies for achieving… sustainability.” Governments can reap tremendous savings through an integrated management approach, and invest those savings in manufacturing, installing and maintaining an eco-friendly infrastructure that benefits the environment, wellness, and quality of life.
