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

Detroit Sustainability Action Agenda

October 16, 2021 - November 17, 2021

As the City develops a long-term Climate Strategy to guide our resilience and mitigation efforts for years to come, hearing from Detroit residents, organizations, and businesses is a top priority. Feedback from over 6,000 Detroiters was instrumental in shaping the City’s first sustainability plan, the Detroit Sustainability Action Agenda

, in 2019.

We need feedback from Detroiters to ensure that the Climate Strategy we are developing:

–> Centers equity

–> Protects against climate impacts

–> Provides tangible benefits to Detroiters, like:

     –> Lower energy bills

     –> Better air quality

     –> More parks and green spaces

     –> More accessible transportation options

We will be using the collective input we receive from surveys, focus groups, and townhalls to inform City priorities and shape the final strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make us more resilient to climate impacts. Below is a list of opportunities to participate:

1. TAKE OUR SURVEY to let us know what issues are most important to you and what solutions to climate change you want to see from the City.
