The grant, that\u00a0made it possible to complete\u00a0necessary repairs after\u00a0Super Storm Sandy,\u00a0has given\u00a0the youngest INN guests at the Rosa Parks INN and Edna Moran INN brand new places to play. The commercial-grade playgrounds, the same ones that are found in town and village parks, are getting plenty of use from young formerly homeless guests who come in with their families to live temporarily while their parents and guardians\u00a0get assistance in\u00a0finding permanent housing. According to Romona Pigford, House Coordinator at the Rosa Parks INN, the children were anxiously awaiting the completion of the project. One four-year-old boy watched patiently from his window while the playgrounds were being constructed and was thrilled to be the very first one to play on it. Making the shelters feel like home, even for a short time, is a part of treating guests with dignity and respect at The INN.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/programs\/emergency-shelters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more information about our shelters, click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4017\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4017\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/020.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4017 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/020-1024x682-1.jpg\" alt=\"020\" width=\"620\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4017\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosa Parks INN Emergency Family Shelter Backyard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4018\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/024.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4018 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/024-682x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"024\" width=\"620\" height=\"930\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Edna Moran INN Emergency Family Shelter Backyard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Playgrounds at INN Family Shelters Thanks to a generous grant\u00a0awarded to The INN by the NYS Office of Children &amp; Family Services,\u00a0playtime\u00a0at The INN&#8217;s shelters is has a new <a href=\"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/shelter-backyards-get-a-lot-of-play\/\" class=\"excerpt_post_link\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-inn-the-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-inn.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
