SUMMARY:Investing in immediate and long-term affordable housing solutions
DESCRIPTION:The opportunity is now: Investing in immediate and long-term affordable housing solutions \n \nMonday\, August 16\, 2021 | 10:00 — 11:00am EST  \nAcross the state\, there is currently an extreme shortage of affordable housing for all individuals – but the impact of this is especially detrimental for low-income households. As a result\, many cost-burdened individuals are sacrificing necessities\, such as healthcare and food\, to avoid eviction. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic\, what housing resources are needed to ensure safety and accessibility for all communities?  \nIn our third and final Summer of CEDAM webinar\, ​“The opportunity is now: Investing in immediate and long-term affordable housing solutions\,” we’ll unpack how the affordable housing crisis is impacting Michigan communities\, and how we can strategically advocate for affordable housing funding and resources\, including the Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund.  \nMercedes Brown\, Michigan director at the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH)\, and Rep. Joe Tate will join us to share their experiences at the organizational and legislative levels. Join us on Monday\, August 16 at 10am EST. \nThe Summer of CEDAM is a monthly series to spotlight our 2021–22 policy priorities: community economic development\, economic inclusion\, and affordable housing. These priorities were identified through stakeholder groups and member surveys\, and guide our advocacy efforts\, shape our coalitions\, and help mobilize our partners and members. The series features three virtual conversations and an in-person wrap-up event to hear from legislators about the opportunities to move these community development policy priorities forward\, as well as from our members who can provide insight to their work and the needs of their communities. \nRegister!

SUMMARY:Updates from New Detroit
DESCRIPTION:LEADING ON R.A.C.E.\nFor more than 20 years\, New Detroit has been educating leaders across Southeast Michigan on cultural differences and similarities\, providing them with tools to effect change and the confidence to do so. More than 1\,200 individuals have been touched by our leadership program and we are now launching an updated Leadership Series on R.A.C.E. — |Racial Understanding | Anti-racism | Cultural Competency | Equity in Practice| \nR.A.C.E. continues to address cultural competency and racial understanding\, while adding new elements around anti-racism\, and equity in practice.  Participants begin by learning about race as a socially constructed concept and exploring the different manifestations of racism from interpersonal to systemic.  We review the racial justice movement\, historically and in contemporary America. We then integrate the cultural competency components\, engaging participants in learning about various communities of color in Southeast Michigan. Extending the training over six sessions allows us to take an intersectional approach\, which is critical in light of Detroit’s multi-cultural population base.  We conclude with practical tools for participants to translate their new learning to action–creating more equitable workplaces and communities. \nThe training is a thorough exploration of R.A.C.E. that leaves participants permanently changed and ready to extend that change.  Its power is increased when several members of a corporate team join the program together.  That allows for continued conversation and action programs that have a direct impact on how a team engages its customers and colleagues. \nEducating leaders creates a multiplier effect that helps advance systemic change. One example is a recent program at Aetna. New Detroit collaborated with an Aetna alum of our leadership program to organize a 2‑day training modeled after the Leadership Series for over 120 colleagues at Aetna\, which included local and national Directors and Senior Managers.  Insurance affects society through the way it allocates the burden of losses and damage\, and bias is built into everything from insurance rates to claims processing and more. There are now an additional 120 people working in the insurance industry who understand how bias impacts their work and how to change that. \nWe are starting our next cohort on August 13.  The six sessions are held virtually for the convenience of participants\, and we will be scheduling new cohorts through December.  Full information is available on our website www.newdetroit.org.  As you can see from Aetna’s example\, alumni go back to their companies as advocates and change agents.  Other alums have gone on to create educational programs\, work toward equitable hiring policies and influence others to become anti-racists.  We strongly encourage you to join the R.A.C.E. experts who are using proven strategies to combat racism at work\, at home and in their communities. To learn more about how New Detroit can tailor its work to your team\, visit www.newdetroit.org. \n \nYou may read more about the program and register here. \n\nRemembering Glenn Wash \nWe are saddened at the loss of our dear friend and longest serving board member\, Glenn Wash. Glenn was dedicated to the principles and practice of racial and social justice and served on the New Detroit board from 1973 until 2017\, becoming a Director Emeritus upon retiring from the board. Glenn was widely known for his entrepreneurial vision and his commitment to positive change in Detroit and Southeast Michigan. \nPaul Hubbard\, president of New Detroit from 1989–1993\, noted\, ​“Glenn always raised the issue of the importance of Black Economic Development and support for Black Business. His comments were always well founded”. Current president\, Michael Rafferty\, echoed that sentiment. ​“Glenn was one of Detroit’s earliest Black entrepreneurs and the first Black entrepreneur on the New Detroit board. The power of New Detroit lies in the diversity of its leadership. Serving alongside major corporate representatives from the automotive and banking industries\, Glenn brought an important perspective to our conversations on economic and social development.” \nNew Detroit’s board and staff members extend our deepest sympathy to Glenn’s family.  We know that they\, like us\, will find comfort in Glenn’s legacy of change and hope.  We invite you to read more about Glenn by clicking on this article from the Michigan Chronicle.\n \nhttps://michiganchronicle.com/2014/08/28/glenn-e-wash-construction-pioneer-outspoken-activist-for-black-empowerment-in-detroit/#/?playlistId=0&videoId=0.\n  \nZOOM INTO OUR FINAL COVID TOWNHALL \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the gaps in health care and other opportunities for people of color and prompted us to explore an equitable return to improved health care\, public education and economic support. For the complete story\, see our report\, Examining and Addressing COVID-19 Racial Disparities in Detroit. Our third and final townhall scheduled for August will feature New Detroit CEO\, Michael Rafferty\, speaking with people throughout Southeast Michigan about their pandemic experiences and their thoughts on how to create a racially equitable post-COVID recovery.  Check in at our website www.newdetroit.org soon for information and registration.FIGHTING RACISM ON MULTIPLE FRONTS\nWhen New Detroit declared war on racism a little over a year ago\, we knew that we could not achieve victory without the efforts of people across the community.  In this space\, we will share program information from partner organizations making a difference in Detroit and beyond. This month we encourage you to consider:\n\nDetroit Public Schools Community District will launch the ​“Detroit Perspective Project”\, which is an initiative to include more racially inclusive materials in the English curriculum. This project will be supported with a grant from the Skillman Foundation. To learn more about this project\, click here.\nThe Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion has launched the ​“What’s Going On?” series\, consisting of radical conversations hosted by Yusef Shakur and featuring different guests speaking across the intersections of race\, gender and class.  Click here to learn more and register for the virtual conversations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are proud to have recently earned a 2021 Platinum Seal of Transparency through Guidestar.

SUMMARY:Billions in Covid-19 Aid: Nonprofits Should Engage ASAP
DESCRIPTION:Billions in Covid-19 Aid: Nonprofits Should Engage ASAP\n“…[A] substantial infusion of resources….” \nWith that remarkable model of understatement\, the U.S. Treasury announced the launch of a $350-billion COVID-19 fund ​“to help turn the tide on the pandemic\, address its economic fallout\, and lay the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery.” The money was authorized in March 2021 through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for state\, local\, tribal nation\, and territorial governments. \nEven the smallest states – for example\, Wyoming and Montana – are set to receive $1.2 billion. Larger states are allocated more: for instance\, Pennsylvania at $13.4 billion and Florida at $15.9 billion. The largest state – California – is slotted for a whopping $42.9 billion.  In addition\, tens of millions of dollars more are set aside directly for local government units\, so the counties and municipalities aren’t pitted in battle with their states for these funds. \nAnd within that deluge of government money comes desperately needed help for the nonprofit sector.  \n       State and Local Funds\n“Specifically\, governments may use the federal funds directly or through others\, meaning that individual charitable nonprofits can be the recipient of assistance as well as the provider of assistance to others.” See the Treasury Department’s publication: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds\, the Fact Sheet (May 10\, 2021)\, the Interim Final Rule (May 17\, 2021)\, and the Frequently Asked Questions\, (updated July 19\,2021). \nThe National Council of Nonprofits (NCN) has taken the lead in explaining the details to our community as well as to the government officials who will be responsible for allocating these funds. In June 2021\, NCN published Strengthening State and Local Economies in Partnership with Nonprofits: Principles\, Recommendations\, and Models for Investing Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. It is an invaluable 20-page summary and report. \n“Building on the shared experiences and expertise of nonprofits across our networks\,” the NCN authors explain\, ​“we compiled information about dozens of programs from across the country where nonprofits are working together with state and local governments to deploy funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to improve their communities.” \nThey emphasize the ​“natural” partnership between ​“charitable nonprofits and governments\, serving the same constituents in the same communities.” The nonprofit sector is  ​“perfectly positioned to maximize public benefits” because of its ​“deep knowledge of community needs\, reach\, and existing relationships\, particularly in low-income and underserved or hard-to-reach populations.” \nThe National Council of Nonprofits includes a critical call to action: ​“We encourage you to use the report by sharing it with local government officials and replicating one or more of the programs in your community…\,” adding: ​“A reasonable early question a public official may ask is whether governments are authorized to use these funds to support charitable nonprofits and their work in communities. The answer from Congress and the Treasury Department is yes.” \n       Executive Summary \nThere is a helpful ​“Executive Summary” in this Special Report.  A primary purpose in preparing the document was to present “(g)uiding principles for identifying the best use of funds.” After all\, the NCN authors explain\, the Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds are ​“substantial but not limitless.” \nIn order to avoid some of the well-publicized missteps from the pandemic-relief roll outs in 2020\, governments – this time – ​“should … prioritize equity from the outset.” And to ​“promote healthy local economies\,” governments should ​“invest in economic multipliers\, like nonprofits….” For instance\, nonprofits can use the money not only to directly rehire their own staff but also to create activities and programs that have a ripple effect nearby. For instance\, when people visit arts and cultural institutions\, they also spend money at restaurants and stores in the vicinity. And there is ​“greater flexibility and discretion build into this year’s funding statute\, so governments can now be more creative with the new ARPA funding than they were with their many successful programs investing CARES Act monies on nonprofits in 2020.” \nThere are examples – particularly from 2020 – of  ​“some of the greatest opportunities for partnerships between governments and nonprofits using the federal funds.” These success stories are organized in four categories: \n\nLifting unemployment insurance burdens off employers;\nCreating relief and recovery funds and grants for nonprofits to use in their communities;\nImproving the process and other aspects of government grants and contracts with nonprofits; and\nExpanding and replicating innovative nonprofit programs to help communities respond\, adapt\, and recover.”\n\nAbove all\, it’s critical for governments to get the money out the door as quickly as possible while at the same time requiring ​“reasonable documentation and transparency” to meet accountability considerations. \n       Conclusion\nThe organized nonprofit community along with individual organizations and leaders must become engaged in this process as soon as possible. This pot of gold is being divvied up right now. \n— Linda J. Rosenthal\, J.D.\, FPLG Information & Research Director

SUMMARY:CDC extends eviction moratorium
DESCRIPTION:CDC extends eviction moratorium \n  \nThe CDC announced on Wednesday that they are issuing a limited eviction moratorium through October 3 for renters living in communities that are experiencing what the CDC calls ​“substantial” and ​“high” spread of the coronavirus. As of Tuesday this covers most of the United States.  \nThe announcement comes one day after President Biden announced additional steps the federal government would take to protect renters and prevent evictions during the pandemic. \nCFPB releases tool to help renters and landlords access federal assistance \nThe Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released an online tool to help renters and landlords impacted by the pandemic easily find and apply for payment assistance for rent\, utilities and other expenses. The Rental Assistance Finder connects renters and landlords with the state and local programs that are distributing billions of dollars in federal assistance nationwide to help renters stay housed during the pandemic. \nState Land Bank Authority launches new opportunity for developers \nThe State Land Bank Authority (SLBA) announced a new opportunity that would allow qualified developers to have the first chance at being considered to undertake  a variety of small and large-scale development projects throughout the state.The RFQ\, posted last week\, allows developers to pre-qualify for state and local land bank development projects.

Tef has consistently advocated grass-roots involvement in improving the lives of African Americans and in racial justice within and outside the United States.

SUMMARY:The Financial Well-Being of Detroit Residents: What Do We Know?
DESCRIPTION:In January\, you attended a community conversation hosted by United Way for Southeastern Michigan and University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions to discuss the reasons why Detroiters face persistent and disproportionate financial disadvantage compared to peer cities.  More than half of Detroiters are financially insecure or in financial trouble.  Detroiters have lower and more volatile incomes\, higher costs of living\, higher rates of subprime credit and debt in collection\, and higher rates of foreclosure\, eviction\, and bankruptcy.  The University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions’ report\, The Financial Well-Being of Detroit Residents: What Do We Know?\, revealed that these disadvantages are the result of deep structural inequities and systemic barriers to financial well-being.  \nExisting tools and services are insufficient to tackle these challenges.  That’s why United Way for Southeastern Michigan is launching a Detroit Financial Well-being Innovation Challenge in partnership with University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions.  This Challenge will provide funding and support to drive innovation and catalyze transformative change to improve financial well-being for Detroit residents.  \nThe Innovation Challenge is currently in the planning stages.  We are committed to incorporating feedback from a diverse group of potential applicant organizations\, front-line staff\, and Detroit residents with direct experience of financial instability into the Innovation Challenge design. \nIn late July\, we will be hosting two feedback sessions to gather input from organizational stakeholders.  Your feedback will help us ensure that the Innovation Challenge is successful in receiving applications from a broad range of organizations\, that the selection process equitably identifies the most promising ideas from organizations best positioned to achieve transformative change\, and that we provide sufficient and appropriate technical assistance to participating organizations. \nTo participate\, please click the link below to register for the session most appropriate to your organizational role: \nFeedback session on Innovation Challenge design for Frontline Staff:  Tuesday\, July 27th\, 11am-12pm.  Register here:  https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYrd-isqjIqHNFEF4X_rKp_GG6IGhSPKq_- \nFeedback Session on Innovation Challenge design for Organizational Leadership:  Wednesday\, July 28th\, 1pm-2pm.  Register here:  https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMlduGurTMqG9doP-2PYKlhgkq-DQf_V0u3 \nIf you have any questions about this initiative or trouble registering\, please contact Kalaya Long at Kalaya.Long@liveunitedsem.org or 313–226-9314 \nThank you for your partnership on this initiative and all that you do for our community.  We look forward to learning from you.

SUMMARY:Community Voting Tool
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the Federal government approved $6 billion dollars for Michigan to use to help schools deal with the crises they face from COVID-19? We need to raise our voices and let the state and our communities know how we want the money spent to build healthy and healing schools. \nUse the  Community Voting Tool to show them what we need to make education better in Michigan. \nThese funds could go to programs such as: \n\n\nMental health supports and services \n\n\nUpgrades to facilities \n\n\nSpecial education support services \n\n\nEnglish language learner support services \n\n\nEducational technology \n\n\nSummer and after school programming \n\n\nWe know from listening sessions held last year across the state that Michigan families want to prioritize wellness and mental health through curriculums that reflect students’ identities and cultures\, that include input from students and caregivers. With the extra $6 billion dollars in funding\, how would you reimagine Michigan’s schools? \nWant to participate in more actions to make decisions for our schools? Use the Community Voting Tool\,  and sign up for alerts from the Michigan Education Justice Coalition.
