NEW YORK: The six hundred and twenty-third entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
Santa Monica’s impressive branding of the Wellbeing Project has been entered in the Global Awards. The Wellbeing Index measures Santa Monicans’ quality of life across six broad categories: outlook, community, place, learning, health and opportunity.
The Wellbeing Project released its first report, Creating a city for wellbeing, in April. Santa Monicans “reported high levels of trust in the neighbourhoods in which they live, but still not enough day-to-day connection with neighbourhoods”.
The research also discovered that, “while many residents were engaged in volunteering and voted in general elections, relatively few felt they had influence in affecting decisions in Santa Monica”
