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

OPEN CALL: Race Equity Assessment Beta Testers

Earlier this month, we put out a call for nonprofits with at least 10 paid staff based in the U.S. to beta test our forthcoming race equity assessment tool. We are still looking for organizations to participate, starting in January 2022. The entire process will span 10–12 weeks and take about 1–2 hours per week of an organizational leader’s time.

Learn more about the tool and the beta testing process (here) and submit an interest form (here).
