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

CED 101: Climate Equity

Community economic development is intuitively linked with our environment in many ways, but it often falls victim to being an afterthought. Join us for our next CED 101 webinar on climate equity to learn about how Eastside Community Network is using green initiatives to advance equity in Detroit.

Presenter: Richard Ackerman, director of climate equity at Eastside Community Network.

In 2019, Governor Whitmer established the Poverty Task Force to bring together various stakeholders to develop an anti-poverty plan for Michigan. The Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Opportunity (LEO) recently released the 2021 Poverty Task Force Report, which outlines more than 30 policy recommendations to strengthen anti-poverty initiatives and bring opportunity to more Michiganders. Several recommendations strongly align with CEDAM members’ work and our policy priorities.

On April 28 at 10am EST, join CEDAM, LEO, and members of the Poverty Task Force Advisory Committee for a conversation about the report and how we can advance policy recommendations that will help our members and the communities you serve.
