EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT THE EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ADVOCATES FOR AND SUPPORTS POLICIES, PRACTICES AND COALITIONS THAT PROMOTE COMMUNITY ASSET BUILDING, COMMUNITY STEWARDSHIP OF LAND AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND PROMOTES EQUITABLE GROWTH WITHOUT COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL DISPLACEMENT. IN 2020, WE CONVENED SEVEN COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AS THE GRAHAM STREET COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM (CAT), A LEADERSHIP BODY FOR EQUITABLE TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE GRAHAM STREET LIGHT RAIL STATION IN SOUTH SEATTLE. THE CAT MET WITH LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS AND HAD THEIR COMMUNITY VISION OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT. WITH OUR SOUTH CORE COALITION OF SOUTH SEATTLE BASED ORGANIZATIONS, WE ADVOCATED FOR NEW PROGRESSIVE REVENUE GENERATION AT THE CITY OF SEATTLE, AND FOR 200 MILLION OF NEW DEDICATED REVENUE FOR THE CITY OF SEATTLE'S EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT FUND THAT WILL HELP COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS LEAD THEIR OWN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. OUR COMMUNITY REAL ESTATE STEWARDSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM TRAINED 20 LEADERS FROM COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN MODELS OF COMMUNITY LAND OWNERSHIP, REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, FINANCE AND FUNDRAISING TO ADVANCE THEIR COMMUNITY-LED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$534.7KProgram 2 [2020]
