evolving Proof of Concept and research
Since 1995, Charity Productions has been dedicated to finding comprehensive solutions to the persistent disparity gaps in all aspects of quality of life. This pursuit has spanned over 100 years of research. The Kerner Commission Report, a pivotal document in our source materials, was published between 1995 and 1998. This report, which identified the root causes and consequences of social unrest, offered recommendations to mitigate the impact of tax-based service gaps. However, the implementation of these recommendations remained a crucial task.
Around the same time, Charity Productions convened a meeting hosted by Dr. Jack Daniels, President of Houston Community College Central Campus. Invited universities were Texas Southern, St. Thomas, the University of Houston, Rice University, and the University of Texas Health Science Center. Attending representatives were Dr. Obidike Kamau, TSU, Dr. James Anderson, U of H, Dr. Roland Smith, Rice University, and an unnamed professor from UTHSC. Those events highlighted the value of scientific methods or academic rigor, providing evidence, proof, and solutions. The long-term objective would involve connecting innovations that synchronize implementation into subdivision service needs to be attached to end users’ conditions. We built our hub with public health and safety categories. Then, other quality-of-life categories interphase with other hub categories, such as education, employment, and more.
Our approach to closing service gaps for underserved or vulnerable populations is multifaceted, incorporating both traditional rigor and non-traditional tools and marketing strategies. This innovative approach, which we consider essential for achieving measurable results, draws from a variety of source materials, including the National Incident Management System, NIMS, Evidence-Based Research, Anchor Institutions, Community Participatory Research, and other companion strategies. By infusing these strategies into our process, we aim to create a comprehensive and effective solution.
From 2007 to 2013, Charity successfully spearheaded a drive to get TSU to apply for a four-year Emergency Management—Homeland Security degree. In 2009, we ended up at the College Station Campus of Texas A&M University, in the School of Architecture and Landscape, and formed a MOUI. Around 2013, Charity Productions shared our research project, Blueprint.
Another project began in 2017; 14 zip-code residents attended the Community Partnership Xchange Breakfast. They participated in an SF 12 study by J. Horney and Dr. G Sansom, TAMU—mental health stability after a disaster. An article in Scientific American Magazine captured the results of the SF12 study in 2021 & 2022.
In high-density areas, unmet needs provide nutrients that feed and yield generations of service gaps. Using data from the latest census track and a health disparities report from the City of Houston Health Services, we analyzed data from 25 zip codes and 703,000 residents in 80 subdivisions. Our field-testing living labs have residents who are hostages to decades of layered compound crisis conditions. A dysfunctional delivery system that defines the people and situations as underserved, vulnerable, and, in other negative terms, mainly producing virtual sources of the compound, complex sets of unmanaged, reoccurring crises.
Our forty years of field trials and experiments produced a significant benchmark in 2023. Charity Productions received a grant from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to expand cutting-edge program implementation strategies.
Since 1995, Charity Productions has sought comprehensive answers to questions regarding the repeated disparity gaps in all quality-of-life matters after 100 years of research. What solutions could reduce the cycle of inequities? Between 1995 and 1998, the Kerner Commission Report became part of our source materials. This document identified the cause and effect of social disparities that erupted in social unrest. The report provided recommendations to fix or reduce the spread of tax-based service gaps, but the commission’s recommendations still need to be implemented.
During the same period, Charity Productions convened a meeting hosted by Dr. Jack Daniels, President of Houston Community College Central Campus. Invited universities were Texas Southern, St. Thomas, the University of Houston, Rice University, and the University of Texas Health Science Center. Attending representatives were Dr. Obidike Kamau, TSU, Dr. James Anderson, U of H, Dr. Roland Smith, Rice University, and an unnamed professor from UTHSC. During this discovery period, the value of scientific methods or academic rigor took on a deeper meaning. The long-term objective involves connecting synchronizing strategies at the subdivision level, attached to end users’ conditions. We built our hub with public health and safety categories, followed by adding other quality-of-life categories, such as education, employment, and more, as identified.
Measurably closing service gaps for people defined as underserved or vulnerable warrants blending rigor and non-traditional methods has benefits. Marketing companion strategies such as the National Incident Management System, NIMS, Evidence-Based Research, Anchor Institutions, and Community Participatory Research are essential to achieving measurable results. From 2007 to 2023, Charity participated in several fact-finding projects, initiatives, and trainings that aimed to solve the service gap dilemma.
One project with TAMU began in 2017, and residents from 14 zip codes attended the Community Partnership Xchange Breakfast. Attendees participated in an SF 12 study by J. Horney and Dr. G Sansom, TAMU—mental health stability after a disaster. An article in Scientific American Magazine captured the results of the SF12 study in 2021 & 2022. Reducing or breaking the cycle of service gaps would be monumental. Our field-testing living labs have residents who are hostages to decades of layered compound crisis conditions. A dysfunctional delivery system that defines the people and situations as underserved or vulnerable seems to be losing ground in the process.
After forty years of field trials and experiments, Charity received a grant from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in 2023. The NAS and other grants will accelerate the implementation of programs that can build capacity while reducing service gaps.
