How the vital conditions framework helps communities thrive
Seven factors make up the vital conditions framework, an initiative adopted by the US Department of Health and Human Services in 2022. The blueprint says these factors, including basic health, safety and humane housing, are the things that are needed for a community to thrive.

Meet Technical.ly’s new Delaware market editor
Katie Malone started this week, filling the gap left by longtime editor Julie Zeglen. Katie is based in Philly and will edit the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Delaware markets — a shift that puts Delaware back under the Greater Philadelphia umbrella, market-wise (though we will continue to cover downstate, too).
Sameer Rao, our Delaware editor for the last eight months, isn’t going anywhere! He continues as editor for our Baltimore and DC coverage.
