- 5. key themes Our work is focused on People + Place and People in Place Understanding the lasting impact of historical, institutional, and structural racism is essential to our work. Our deeply held assumptions must be challenged and revised. Complex problems require multidimensional solutions. Multidimensional solutions require multidisciplinary partners. Multidimensional solutions require creativity and courage. Awareness building is Action. Awareness building is constant work.
- 6. HOW WE GOT HERE: TOWARDS A NEW VISION FOR COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
- 7. who we are Cleveland Neighborhood Progress is a local community development funding intermediary with nearly thirty years of experience advancing neighborhood revitalization strategies throughout our city. MISSION: To foster inclusive communities of choice and opportunity throughout Cleveland. VISION: Cleveland’s neighborhoods are attractive, vibrant, and inclusive communities where together, people from diverse incomes, races, and generations thrive, prosper, and choose to live, learn, work, invest, and play.
- 8. As a citywide intermediary, we provide funding, shared services, training and capacity building support to all neighborhoods in the City of Cleveland. Size: 77 Sq. Miles Population: 388,072 (2015 estimate) what we do: strengthening Cleveland’s CDC system
- 9. CDCs: a definition “Community Development Corporations (CDCs) are nonprofit, community-based organizations focused on revitalizing the areas in which they are located, typically low-income, underserved neighborhoods that have experienced significant disinvestment.” Definition from: Community-Wealth.org http://community-wealth.org/strategies/panel/cdcs/index.html
- 10. PARADIGM SHIFT: ADVANCING RACIAL EQUITY & INCLUSION
- 11. what we do: comprehensive community development
- 12. people + place The future of Cleveland’s (and America’s) neighborhoods depends on our collective efforts to transcend the limitations of the popular imagination and consider what will be possible if we insist on the beauty of forgotten places, the value of the people who live there, and seize the opportunity to realize our shared vision for an equitable and inclusive society.
- 13. race matters. We must apply a Racial Equity & Inclusion lens to the work community development (and economic development, historic preservation, environmental conservation, public policy, etc.) to ensure that historically—and currently—marginalized members of the community: – feel connected to the fabric of their neighborhoods – have equal access to opportunities, and – are engaged in decision-making processes that affect their lives.
- 16. definitions Racial Equity is the systematic fair treatment of people of all races that results in equitable opportunities and outcomes for everyone. All people are able to achieve their full potential in life, regardless of race, ethnicity or the community in which they live. Racial equity — or racial justice —goes beyond “anti-racism.” It’s not just about what we are against, but also what we are for. A “racial equity” framework can move us from a reactive posture to a more powerful, proactive and even preventative approach. Inclusion is the action or state of including or of being included within a group or structure. More than simply diversity and numerical representation, inclusion involves authentic and empowered participation and a true sense of belonging.
- 17. Racial Equity & Inclusion Framing Questions As we challenge ourselves (and those with whom we work) to confront structural racism and inequality, consider the following framing questions in the development and implementation of innovative Neighborhood Solutions: 1) "Are there racial disparities that might be addressed through this (action, activity, strategy)?" 2) "How might this (action, activity, strategy) do more to help counter prevailing narratives of dysfunction, dependence and inferiority, commonly associated with people of color in my neighborhood?“ 3) "How might this (action, activity, strategy) do more to promote "equal status contacts“ between people of color and others?“ 4) "Might the way we are planning to do this (action, activity, strategy) inadvertently perpetuate racial inequity or exclusion in any ways?"
- 18. YEAR OF AWARENESS BUILDING 2017
- 19. Year of Awareness Building 2017 Purpose: To build an inclusive, interdisciplinary coalition of civic stakeholders, community development practitioners, and grassroots leaders committed to advancing Racial Equity & Inclusion
- 20. why Awareness Building? Awareness is simply a starting point for our efforts to embed Racial Equity & Inclusion as the unifying principle of a comprehensive community development practice. To do so we must: Establish a basic understanding of where we are; how we got here; and the language to describe the complexity of racial inequity Challenge our deeply held assumptions about: – The nature of “the problem” – The primacy of any one cause over another – The right solution – The right organization or individual to lead The Work Build coalitions of partners willing to confront the legacy of historical, structural, and institutional racism—and see themselves (and their organizations/institutions/industry) in this analysis

- 23. Trainings & Workshops – Total (YTD) Groundwater Training REI organizers will use stories and data to present a perspective that racism is fundamentally structural in nature. By examining characteristics of modern- day racial inequity, the presentation introduces participants to an analysis that most find immediately helpful and relevant. The Groundwater Presentation dovetails with REI’s Phase I workshop, and is recommended as an introduction or follow- up to a full two-day workshop Racial Equity Workshop – Phase I This two-day long process helps to provide talking points, historical factors and an organizational definition of racism. REI believes that organizations are often working in very intentionally civil ways, yet operating from multiple understandings that rely more on personal feelings and popular opinion. This creates complications to the goal of eliminating racial and ethnic disparities and producing equitable outcomes. 32 81 173 273 377 502 594 660 770 873 1136 Total number of attendees 32 49 92 100 104 125 92 66 110 103 263 January February March April May June July August September October November Number of attendees - by month

- So after all that, I wanted to provide you with a definition. As you can tell from their history, CDCs have sort of ebbed and flowed, focusing on everything from social services to activism to brick-and-mortar development. There is no one agreed upon definition of a CDC, so I picked a broad one that a number of organizations reference. I starred the word “revitalizing” because this term is broad—revitalization comes in many forms and CDCs provide those many strategies for uplifting neighborhoods.
