COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AT WORK!
TAKE ACTION!

As you know, we've launched a 3 year project funded by the federal Office of Community Services, Department of Health and Human Services, to identify and promote successful community economic development in the Community Action network. As a first step to providing tools, training and technical assistance we have launched this new CED website.

www.partnershipCED.org

This is only the beginning! The site will grow as CED expands in the Partnership. We will be announcing success stories, webinars, events, green job information, media opportunities, and special promotions through the CED website. We are excited about the new project and welcome feedback from our network! If you have questions or see information that would assist the network please contact Stacy Flowers, Director of Community Economic Development, sflowers@communityactionpartnership.com.

TAKE ACTION!
(We didn’t want to miss your accomplishments!)

COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SURVEY

If you have not completed the CED survey, here is another chance for your voice to be heard!! Community Action Partnership needs your help!!! Below is the survey link from the Partnership that asks for your input on a series of community economic development and job creation topics, including what your agency does now, what training & technical assistance needs & opportunities are of greatest need and interest to you, and other relevant matters. Your input is very important in helping guide the Partnership with its planning of future training and resource development and information exchange opportunities that you can use.

If you already have previously completed this survey….THANK YOU for your support!!

There are many success stories in our Community Action network about incredibly creative and effective economic development programs and practices that are making systemic improvements in communities across our nation. We want to hear from YOU! YOU have done the work; YOU have made the changes in your community. We want to help agencies interested in CED move forward. Your stories will not only be shared with policymakers, potential funders, and people-of-influence but especially other agencies around the country who want to make a difference through CED.

The Partnership is working closely with the federal Office of Community Services (OCS) on a variety of community economic development, job creation, and green jobs initiatives. These range from a three-year OCS grant to the Partnership to identify, package, provide Training & Technical Assistance on exemplary practices on community economic development to our role as a lead agency in an OCS working group—with the National Association for State Community Services Programs (NASCSP), the Community Action Program Legal Services, Inc. (CAPLAW), and the National Community Action Foundation (NCAF)—on job creation and green jobs.
