SUMMARY:Detroit Financial Well-being Innovation Challenge Launch
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE: Feb. 2\, 2022\, 1–2:30 p.m. \n\n United Way for Southeastern Michigan\, in partnership with University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions\, invites you to a virtual convening on Feb. 2\, 2022\, from 1–2:30 p.m. to celebrate the official launch of the Detroit Financial Well-being Innovation Challenge! \n  \nReserve your seat today! \n\n This event will include an introduction to the Challenge and how to participate\, guest speakers\, interactive idea-sharing activities\, and a special performance from poet Ber-Henda Williams. The event is open to potential applicant organizations\, stakeholders\, and members of the public. \n\n More about the Detroit Financial Wellbeing Innovation Challenge \nThe Detroit Financial Well-being Innovation Challenge is a multi-year\, $2 million-plus initiative to provide funding and support to organizations to think big\, collaborate\, plan\, pilot\, and scale new ideas to improve Detroiters’ financial lives.  The Challenge builds off University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions’ research report\, The Financial Well-Being of Detroit Residents: What Do We Know?\, released in January 2021\, which found Detroit residents face deep and persistent financial disadvantages even as compared to residents of peer cities — and that these disadvantages are the result of systemic inequities. \n\n Simply put\, the financial deck is stacked against Detroiters. The Challenge aims to unstack that deck so Detroiters have more opportunities to thrive financially. \n\n The Challenge is open to a wide range of organizations: nonprofits\, community groups\, financial institutions\, government and quasi-government agencies\, private corporations\, and others.  We especially encourage cross-sector collaborative teams and will be creating opportunities for organizations to connect\, collaborate\, and develop partnerships.  The Challenge is committed to centering the lived experience of Detroiters who know first-hand what it’s like to struggle to make ends meet and face impossible financial decisions. Throughout the Challenge\, there will be multiple opportunities for community participation and feedback. \n\n Please join us for the launch convening to learn more about the Detroit Financial Well-Being Innovation Challenge and how you can participate. Register today to secure your seat.

SUMMARY:Building the Case for Change with Building Movement Projects
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for being a part of our community. All through the month of December\, we have been highlighting four key ways that BMP’s work supports\, channels\, and fuels nonprofits\, movements\, and the sector to make change. And as we approach the end of 2021\, we are asking for your support.\n\nThis week’s theme is Building the Case for Change.\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\nAt the Building Movement Project (BMP)\, we push the sector to move beyond talk to make lasting\, meaningful change through our Race to Lead research and data\, which serves as the basis of our reports and of our forthcoming racial equity assessment for nonprofits. We believe in making the case with information.\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\nIt was almost a decade ago that BMP started asking the question: ​“Why are there so few leaders of color in the nonprofit sector?” We conducted interviews\, read the non-profit (and for-profit) literature\, and talked with our colleagues. Everyone had ideas\, but no one had data.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo in 2016 we launched the first Race to Lead survey. When we analyzed the data from more than 4\,000 respondents working in the nonprofit sector\, what we found reflected the lived experience of so many leaders of color. People of color and white respondents had similar training and education\, and people of color were more likely to aspire to nonprofit leadership. However\, respondents agreed that people of color faced racialized barriers to advancement. A similar survey in 2019 of over 5\,000 nonprofit staffers showed similar results. As we look ahead to 2022\, we’re excited to launch a third iteration of the Race to Lead survey and to support nonprofit staff across the country in sharing their stories and experiences of working in the sector and advancing change.\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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nData is also at the heart of our new Race Equity Assessment which will be launched next year. The assessment is a tool developed by the Building Movement Project (BMP) to help nonprofits better understand the foundational capacities for building more racially equitable workplaces.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRather than auditing an organization’s policies\, processes\, and procedures\, the assessment is based on staff experiences in four key capacities – Learning\, Leadership\, Conversation\, and Voice – that are fundamental for organizations engaging in racial equity work. BMP generates a customized visual and narrative report based on an analysis of the aggregated staff responses. The report is shaped by BMP’s algorithms\, which identify where the organization has developed capacity\, as well as room for growth.\nData\, information\, and tools for making real change are at the heart of the Building Movement Project’s work. Support us in building a strong social justice ethos into the nonprofit sector. Please make a donation today.\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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAKE A DONATION\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHARE THIS STORY

SUMMARY:CEDAM Updates
DESCRIPTION:Build Back Better day of action \nJoin NLIHC\, the Coalition on Human Needs\, and other advocates across the nation for a Digital Day of Action on Friday\, December 17 to urge your senators to pass the ​“Build Back Better Act” and its unprecedented investments in rental assistance\, public housing\, and the Housing Trust Fund. The Senate could vote on the bill as soon as the week of December 20\, but congressional leaders must first secure the support of every single Democratic senator. \nParticipate by emailing and calling your senators and posting on social media using the hashtag #BuildBackBetterAct. NLIHC’s HoUSed #BuildBackBetter Advocacy Toolkit includes talking points\, sample op-eds\, and social media messages that advocates can use. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMichigan legislature passes year-end supplemental appropriations bills\n \nOn Tuesday\, December 14\, the legislature approved more than $1.88 billion in funding which included grants for COVID-19 hardship relief\, tax breaks for businesses\, and rental assistance funding. Included in the package of bills is: \n\n$1 billion for two new MEDC job creation funds to use for cash incentives for large corporations and construction site improvements\n$409 million in grants for businesses affected by the COVID-19 shut-downs\n$150 million for schools to screen and test for COVID-19\n$140 million in emergency rental assistance\n$36 million for emerging health threats\, including lead contamination in water lines in Benton Harbor and other communities in the state\n\nThe legislation increases the personal property tax exemption for commercial and industrial equipment from $80\,000 to $180\,000\, and also included an appropriation of $75 million to cities for a one-year replacement of the lost revenue.  \nMore information on the job creation bills.  \nInformation on the COVID-19 supplemental. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCOVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance (CERA) dashboard is live \nCOVID Emergency Rental Assistance (CERA) program data is now available on the MSHDA website.  \nTo date\, MSHDA has received more than 160\,000 applications and has processed about 97\,000. On average\, individuals receive $3\,443 in assistance and households receive $5\,951.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMSHDA Board of Directors approves amendment to the 2022–23 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) \nToday\, the MSHDA Board of Directors passed an amendment to the 2022–23 Qualified Action Plan (QAP). The amendment is a response to recent increases in construction costs and aims to assist recently awarded Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects on their LIHTC equity and financing sources. A brief overview of the amendment: \n\nEligibility: Projects that received 2019 or 2020 credits \nFunding deadline: Projected deadline is January 18\, 2022\nTiers: There will be two tiers under which you can request additional funding\nTier One is for projects who are requesting 5% of original award or less; would receive one negative point in April 2022 funding round; projects must include an owner contribution of or defer at least 30% of the developer fee\nTier Two is for projects that need more than 5% of their original funding up to 12%; would receive two negative points in April 2022 funding round; projects must include an owner contribution of or defer at least 45% of the developer fee\nNegative points: Negative points are not cumulative but would apply to each partner / GM of the deal\, and they would apply to each deal submitted in the April 2022 funding round. For example\, if you get support for three projects in January\, you would only get deducted a total of two points if you were in Tier Two. If all three projects were Tier One\, you would receive only one negative point total (but that negative point is applied to each deal).\nWhere are the credits coming from? The additional credits are coming from the October 2022 and February 2023 round\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nNew MEDC programs announced \nThe Revitalization and Placemaking (RAP) program utilizes $100 million in federal American Rescue Plan dollars to support investments that will repurpose vacant\, underutilized\, blighted or historic buildings and place-based infrastructure. \nThe RAP program will allow individual projects to apply for up to $5 million in support of their efforts to revitalize these now vacant spaces\, while regional partners may also apply for up to $20 million to implement programs in support of their own local or regional revitalization strategies. \nThe program is intended to address a rise in vacancy rates throughout Michigan’s downtowns and commercial districts as the number of offices transitioning to remote or hybrid work settings increases\, and investment is needed to repurpose or renovate buildings and regain vitality. \nCommunities will have the opportunity to learn more about the program by attending a free RAP informational webinar today\, December 16 at 3:00pm. The recording of the webinar will be available on the MEDC website.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCDBG Public Gathering Spaces Initiative \nThe Public Gathering Spaces Initiative is a new program that supports the creation and expansion of public gathering spaces in low- and moderate-income communities across the state\, supporting efforts that allow residents to gather\, relax\, celebrate and commemorate safely together. \nThis program will provide grants between $200\,000 to $1 million for projects like farmers markets\, parks\, town squares\, playgrounds and amphitheaters. The program addresses the shift toward a greater interest in and use of outdoor public spaces\, recognizing the immense value they provide for community members of all ages and backgrounds to gather year-round. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more

SUMMARY:DETROIT PARKS COALITION  COALITION LEADER  Job Posting
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Parks Coalition (DPC) is an alliance of organizations that connect Detroiters to beautiful and healthy natural areas\, parks\, and public spaces. We support a network of individuals and organizational park stewards through advocacy\, learning\, services\, and partnership. DPC includes representatives from nine major leading parks stewardship organizations\, covering 18 Detroit parks. We work collaboratively under a memorandum of understanding\, hold regular meetings for all partnership and establish committees as needed or for specific purposes. Members include Belle Isle Conservancy\, Chandler Park Conservancy\, Clark Park Coalition\, Detroit Riverfront Conservancy\, Downtown Detroit Partnership with six parks under management\, Friends of Patton Park\, Friends of Rouge Park\, Midtown Detroit\, Inc. with five parks under management\, People for Palmer Park\, Sidewalk Detroit supporting Eliza Howell Park\, and three at-large individual members. (Please see attached links to our Fall 2021 Coalition Newsletter and Crains Detroit Business front-page article in the October 18\, 2021 edition.)\n\nThe Coalition was formed in 2019 to advance parks organizations’ desire to share learning and expand limited resources. Since then\, it has doubled its membership and developed a strong relationship with the City of Detroit and nascent partnerships with other key municipal entities including the Huron-Clinton Metroparks Authority\, Wayne County and the State of Michigan.\n\nDPC has received initial funding for an 18-month pilot with a lean staff to formalize governance\, operations\, vision\, and values and continue developing programming and partnerships. This Coalition Leader position is the first to be hired\, and while the initial tenure will be on a contractual basis for the first 18 months\, we are confident of\, and committed to\, using the initial period to secure long-term resources for this key position to continue in a long-term role.\n\nPlease email cover letter and resumes to Alex Allen at aallen@chandlerparkconservancy.org by November 14th\, 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here for more information

SUMMARY:NEW DETROIT'S Leadership Series on R.A.C.E. and Other Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:You may read more about the program and register here.\n\nNew Detroit Forms Ad Hoc Voting Rights Committee \nA package of bills is currently making its way through the Michigan State Senate that will make it more difficult for Michigan residents to vote. \nMore than 5\,568\,000 citizens voted in the 2020 presidential election. Ten separate lawsuits were filed in Michigan challenging election procedures or results.  Every one of them was dismissed as groundless.  Yet somehow\, members of the state legislature believe that these needless proposals targeting communities of color will improve Michigan elections.  New Detroit thinks differently. \nA new Ad Hoc Committee on Voting Rights formed by New Detroit board members is pledging to lift its voice and encourage others to speak out against these proposals.  They initiated their effort with the following statement: \n“The vote is precious.  It is almost sacred.  It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have in a democracy.” \n\nCongressman John Lewis\n\nNew Detroit is built on the idea of collaboration.  We work for racial understanding and equity.  That work engages people of all races\, faiths\, ages and genders.  But our voting rights are in jeopardy\, especially among communities of color.  Our Democracy is endangered. The Ad Hoc Committee will be issuing a complete statement later this month. \nImportant Efforts in the Fight for Equity\nWe believe data and education are critical to change hearts and minds as an important step towards dismantling racism\, and that it will take the efforts of many to advance this work. To that end\, from time to time we will share opportunities presented by our partners. This month we encourage you to consider\n\n\nRecommend a young adult to join City Year as a Corp Member to provide academic and social emotional support for students in grades 3–9.  Corps Members receive a stipend\, health insurance\, and a $6000+ scholarship.

My colleague and I admired how BEAM helped create a supportive and brave space every time we connected through Zoom. \n \n\nBefore diving into tough conversations\, I loved how BEAM would start off each session with The Feeling Wheel. What I love about this tool is how it challenged me to intentionally take a pause and conduct a body scan to identify what feelings were showing up in my body. \n \n\nAs nonprofit professionals\, it’s easy for us to get caught up in the motions of working at a rapid pace that we forget to slow down.
