The New Freedom District Celebrates the Lex Street Garden Opening

5/18/2023

0 Comments

 
The New Africa Center, in collaboration with HopePHL and Penn Praxis, has been diligently working to develop a neighborhood plan that revolves around the creation of a cultural district named "The New Freedom District." After a series of community engagement sessions, on Thursday, May 4, 2023, the organizations activated the vacant lots on Lex Street as the first site to reimagine due to its status as the "gateway to the business corridor."
 
Dante Leonard, HopePHL's Commercial Corridor Manager reflected on how special this project was for him, HopePHL and the community. "I have a passion for helping people and bringing people together to proactively solve problems and collectively build solutions. This is exactly what the community has done in bringing this once vacant and forgotten space back to life. The story of Lex Street has left a mark on Philadelphia history. It is a great feeling to be involved in this project that has the potential to positively engage young residents in this community. I have lived and worked in West Philadelphia my entire life. This neighborhood is very much a part of my fabric as a man, father, and community leader."

Baring House Connects Families with Young Children to Additional Resources

At Baring House, Angie loves making connections for her families. Recently, she was able to connect a family to the Drexel Dornsife Center. One of the Baring House Moms had to attend an extended orientation process for a promising new job. She had two children in elementary school and one at Baring House nursery. Her father was trying to help with pickups and drop offs, but he struggled to manage three children at one time. Angie walked with him over to the nearby Drexel Dornsife Center and helped him to connect with the staff and instructors to enroll in their program. This afforded Mom ample time to return from the orientation to pick up all three children, and start a path to success at her new job!

The atmosphere was breezy, warm and promising as program teams set up their tables with newly branded materials, giveaways, candy, and activities for HopePHL's first Spring program fair. By four o'clock, team leaders were ready for guests to check in at registration, grab their "Program Bingo" and snacks and come learn about their programs. Local residents, children, politicians, school district representatives and more stopped by to meet the teams of the newly merged organization and were met with smiles and for some, on the spot enrollments. Some danced to the music wafting through the air and munched on strawberries and pretzels, while others had in-depth discussions about rental assistance, the upcoming Teen Conference and needed resources.
