PRINCIPLES OF PARTICIPATING FUNDERS
The Community Revitalization Fund is composed of grants from a combination of leading local foundations and national foundations concerned with the future of New Orleans. Although each participating foundation brings different experience and expertise, by participating in the fund each is supporting a common vision for a working community development system that generates equitable housing and community development at scale. A working system is defined as one that:
-
Produces high-quality, diverse, mixed-income and mixed-use development that is architecturally, culturally and ecologically appropriate, as well as environmentally sustainable;
-
Engages a diversity of citizens in the community revitalization process and formalizes or sustains citizen engagement in community development;
-
Promotes accountability in government and the effectiveness of public systems;
-
Results in the creation of a number of housing units that is commensurate with the scale of the crisis at hand and at a pace that dignifies all displaced New Orleanians;
-
Increases the capacity of the locally-based housing production systems, including nonprofit and for-profit developers. |
