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

National Low Income Housing Coalition’s 2020 Out of Reach Report

July 16, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) released their 2020 Out of Reach Report, highlighting the gap between renters’ wages and housing costs in the U.S. NLIHC reports that renters across the country would need to work 127 hours per week at the federal minimum wage ($7.25 an hour) to afford a two-bedroom apartment at the Fair Market Rent. In Michigan:

One must work 57 hours per week at minimum wage (which is $9.65) to afford a one-bedroom rental home
One must work 72 hours per week at minimum wage to afford a two-bedroom rental home
One must earn $17.42 per hour in order to afford a two-bedroom rental home, but the average renter in Michigan earns $15.38
