It's all in the Little Rituals - with the Warehouse District Council! \ud83e\uddca \ud83e\udd43 \n\nThe Council reconvened this week after taking the month of July off for summer, and here are snippets of the impactful updates you may have missed: \n\n\ud83d\udd35 The City of Phoenix, AZ USA's 24-hour Heat Respite Center and its multiple cooling centers have received 20,534 visitors (as of August 13th) since opening in May. A surprising demographic that routinely uses the facility is families and children. A survey found that 81% of the people utilizing the shelter self-identified as individuals experiencing homelessness, who can then be diverted into supportive services.\n\n\ud83d\udd35 A presentation from Urban Phoenix Project (UPP) highlighted the effectiveness of bike lanes, using Third Street's bike lanes as a case study. UPP utilized data from ADOT that tracked record incidents beginning in 2017. Since the street was reduced to one lane in either direction in 2022, there have been no fatalities, while total incidents have been reduced by more than half.\n\nAfter the meeting, attendees were led through a back door to @little_rituals_bar, on Courtyard Residence Inn's fourth floor, where WDC offered complimentary cocktails. \n\nDid you miss this week's meeting (and the opportunity to connect over cocktails)? Mark your calendars for the third Wednesday at 3:30 p.m., and contact tcostello@dtphx.org to be added to the email distribution list.

Did you know that 1 in 5 of the unhoused residents that St. Vincent de Paul (@svdpaz) serves owns a dog? \ud83d\udc3e \ud83d\udc36 \n\nThe Marion and Bob Auray Animal Companion Clinic recently opened on its Downtown campus to address a community need for free services for these residents. \n\nThe fully equipped facility, which includes a grooming station and pantry, offers wellness checkups, vaccinations, spay and neuter procedures, and supplies.
