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

ACTION ALERT:

President Biden, congressional members consider deep cuts to housing in ​‘Build Back Better Act’

President Biden and congressional leadership are negotiating deep cuts to the ​“Build Back Better Act” and considering gutting housing funding from $327 billion to $100 billion or less - squandering this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to end homelessness and put our nation on a path to housing stability and equity for all.

Please help protect these essential and targeted investments:

  • $90 billion to expand rental assistance to 1 million of the lowest-income households; 
  • $80 billion to repair and preserve public housing for over 2.5 million renters; and
  • $37 billion for the national Housing Trust to build and preserve 330,000 rental homes affordable to people with the lowest incomes.

Any cuts to funding for these priority programs means fewer people safely and affordably housed.

Take Action NOW:

  1. Contact your senators and representative TODAY and urge them to call President Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer to urge that any cuts to the Build Back Better Act aren’t made at the expense of housing our country’s lowest-income and most marginalized people.
