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

TODAY! Join the August 24 Day of Action to Demand Congress Pass COVID-19 Relief Package

August 24, 2020

FEDERAL POLICY NEWS from CEDAM:

Congress adjourned for August recess without passing a COVID-19 relief package, leaving millions of renters and people experiencing homelessness without the resources and protections they need to be stably housed. Without immediate action by Congress, 30 to 40 million renters are at risk of being evicted by the end of the year.

Join NLIHC, the Coalition on Human Needs, CEDAM, and other advocates across the nation for a Day of Action on August 24 to demand that Congress #GetBackToWork and immediately pass a coronavirus relief bill that includes NLIHC’s top priorities: a national, uniform moratorium on all evictions for nonpayment of rent; at least $100 billion in emergency rental assistance through the ​“Emergency Rental Assistance and Rental Market Stabilization Act” and housing vouchers; and $11.5 billion to help prevent and respond to outbreaks among people experiencing homelessness.

Take Action on August 24
  • Call and email your senators and representatives. Tell them to get back to the negotiating table and immediately pass the essential housing provisions in the HEROES Act. Take a few minutes to fill out the NLIHC email form above, or find the phone numbers of your members of Congress here: https://tinyurl.com/y3yn3asc
