Chris Holman welcomes Jon Ippel, Executive Director at Amplify GR, Grand Rapids, MI. 
 
Chris had several Grant Announcement Questions for Jon

Why is HUB 07 important? And what does it mean to have the support of the State of Michigan through this Community Center Grant?

Your mission as an organization is to preserve and widen pathways that create greater opportunity for neighbors to participate in and benefit from community growth. Please explain more about your work rooted in two specific Southeast Grand Rapids neighborhoods - Boston Square and Madison Square.

How does your local work connect to the larger national picture through Purpose Built Communities – of which you are a network member?

How does that national research and knowledge impact neighbors on a local level?

With a $1M Michigan Community Center grant secured, place-based nonprofit Amplify GR is picking up activity supporting the construction of HUB 07, a 45,000 square foot “front porch and living room” in the Boston Square Neighborhood of Grand Rapids. HUB 07 will open in late 2024 and serve thousands annually through an early childhood education center, a health clinic, a community space and café, a financial health suite, dedicated spaces for afterschool programming and multigenerational enrichment and wellness, and a co-lab suite for smaller, grassroots organizations to scale their impact. Organization officials are available to comment, and current and future construction site tours are available.

Michigan Business Beat | Jon Ippel,  Amplify GR - A $1M State Grant to Help  Boston Square, G.R.

On this episode of Meeting Midway we're talking with Bob Putnam, Chelsea Salvatore and Emily Baton from the May Institute about their most recent presentation at the 2024 Association for Positive Behavior Supports conference. The title of their presentation was "Beyond Data Collection: Using Data to Make a Difference in IDD Settings". Our discussion centers around their presentation and the fidelity tools they reviewed and discussed. Two tool mentioned in their presentation were the Agency Systems Support Evaluation Tool aka ASSET with Missouri and the Tiered Onsite Evaluation Tool aka TOET with Minnesota. Our discussion then leads into a third fidelity tool the May Institute in Massachusetts is developing. From here we discuss several other tools and resources that listeners might find helpful in addition to goals and dreams for Bob, Chelsea and Emily on where they would like to see these tools in the future. If you're interested in learning about these tools please see the show notes below for further information.
