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

AmeriCorps VISTA and Community Development Fellowship applications are due April 23, 2021

CEDAM’s AmeriCorps VISTA members build capacity for anti-poverty programs across the state. Activities may include creating partnerships, designing programs, researching and writing grant proposals, managing volunteer practices, and more.

CEDAM is seeking 10 communities to host a fellow for the 2021–2022 cohort!

Eligible applicants are municipalities engaged in the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Redevelopment Ready Communities (RRC) Program and can be working toward Essentials, Certification, or already Certified.
