Activity 1 : Community Resources
What’s Missing ? Education• Improve overall quality of education• More access to Special Ed Pre-K/ Schools for
students with disabilities• Tutoring services
Recreational• Intergenerational activities*• Increase open space imprint (not just programing) • Athletic facilities(Rec Center,YMCA’s)* • Sports fields (Basketball courts) • Swimming Pool *
Services • Immigration legal services• Job training programs• Elected official offices in Bushwick• Programs for working families
Assets • Museum on Bushwick’s history• Farmers market• Introduction of Citi Bikes/Bike lane
expansion• Directories of services in Bushwick
* The need for a pool was frequently mentioned, thought to be a great intergenerational activity and could help alleviate the drowning ratio for African Americans, which statistically have a higher percentage of drowning city-wide. Many recommended allowing community access to the Olympic sized pool in Bushwick HS which is currently is underutilized and only accessible to students on certain times.
The map listed all community resources such as libraries, senior centers, schools and more. Participants identified any services that were not indicated in the map as well as the resources they were not aware of, and discussed the resources still needed in the community.

RESOURCES AND SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS OWNERS Lease terms are too short – businesses need lease renewal support, as do start-up businesses. Businesses also need legal and negotiation training and support. There should be more information on how to access these resources.Protections are needed for business owners and street vendors.Create a coalition of various burgeoning merchant organizations in Bushwick, using the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership as a model. Focus on non-profit capacity building while building a coalition to create oversight of non-profits and merchants associations.Find ways to encourage developers to be part of the local community and take part in capacity building.Affordable day care services would help business owners and working families.
STREETSCAPE AND PLACEMAKINGStreetscape beautification (including cleaner tree pits, public art, and more lighting at night) is needed on Knickerbocker, Broadway, and around Maria Hernandez Park. Upgrades to Maria Hernandez Park would attract more customers to local businesses.Form BIDs to help with sanitation, increase funding for sanitation.Provide wifi in parks to help students and people who work remotely.
DEVELOPMENTSCreate an FAR bonus for developers who provide affordable commercial space.Subsidize developers who create affordable commercial space.
Ideas and RecommendationsCapacity building is needed for local merchants. A coalition of burgeoning merchant groups throughout Bushwick could be useful.
Improving streetscape and sidewalk conditions would encourage people to shop more. Improvements to Maria Hernandez Park could also attract more people to neighborhood, who might stick around to shop and dine out.

TECHNOLOGYData entry/general computer skillsHealthcare technology trainingCoding
GENERALEntrepreneurshipJob readinessSmall business (loans, license)College counseling
OTHERRestaurant experience, help getting a food handler’s licenseFood and beverage training
EMPLOYMENT AND JOBSImplement initiatives to help combat unemployment, including internship and apprenticeship programs that connect community members to local businesses.Provide services for college counseling, including guidance on filling out the FAFSA and other college entrance materials.There is insufficient access to construction jobs. Explore implementation of construction training programs that start at the high school level.Implement a bar/restaurant local hiring program.There should be more support for local hiring, including job training for Bushwick residents.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENTThere should be a central resource for workforce development programs, as well as better marketing, branding and outreach of existing programs.Funding sustainability is an issue for CBOs.
Ideas and Recommendations
Many people are not aware of the numerous organizations currently providing workforce development services in Bushwick and throughout the city.
People are interested in training in industry and trades, tech skills, and help for small business owners/entrepreneurs.
