Where have we been?

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.

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.

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

Deadline June 7: Desai Sethi Foundation Social Impact Fellowship for Venture for America

June 7, 2020

Venture For America is partnering with the Desai Sethi Foundation to launch the DSF Social Impact Fellowship for VFA to respond to some of these challenges by selecting social impact organizations to hire Fellows at a heavily subsided rate to carry out their mission.

How it Works

Organizations in Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park that have been affected by the pandemic and that are making a positive social impact on low- to moderate-income individuals can apply to bring on a highly-vetted Fellow into a full-time role for two years. If awarded, organizations will pay only $5,000 in year one and $10,000 in year two to work with a Fellow. Applications of interest are due by midnight on June 7. Learn more and apply here.
