Where have we been?

Where are we now?

Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3

Phase 1 (2016)

We recruited stakeholders to analyze the problem, created a beginning set of system elements, and began considering a framework for a Detroit community development system.

System Elements Activated in Phase 1:

System Governance

Capacity Building & Certification

System Capitalization

Neighborhood Voice & Advocacy

Data & Evaluation

Education & Career Pipeline

City Engagement

Phase 2 (2017-2018)

We formed an Advisory Council, conducted extensive research resulting in a specific set of challenges and created Task Forces to respond to those challenges and develop test-projects for most of the elements.

System Elements Activated in Phase 2:

System Governance

Capacity Building & Certification

System Capitalization

Neighborhood Voice & Advocacy

Data & Evaluation

Education & Career Pipeline

City Engagement

Phase 3 (2019-2020)

Stakeholders will champion elements of the system, working closely with CDOs and GROs, by “test-piloting” project ideas:

Coordination of Capacity Building Services
Community Development Career Navigation Model
Neighborhood Vitality Success Framework
Neighborhood Voice and Advocacy Framework
At least two city-CDO funded partnerships

Simultaneously we will:

Activate the System Capitalization element
Establish a governance/oversight structure
Develop a process to resolve CDO coverage for all neighborhoods

System Elements Activated in Phase 3:

System Governance
