Scaling community development finance : examining traditional and innovative methodsLadha, Tanya 27 November 2013 (has links)
Community Development Finance refers to the vast array of financial services and products created and delivered specifically to those individuals and groups that are not being served by traditional financial institutions. While this is not a new field, with some Community Development organizations in existence for decades, it is certainly an evolving one. There is a wide variety of products and models for this type of work, catering to the myriad needs of different communities. However, almost by nature, these individual organizations remain highly localized and operate on small scales of economic development.
This report examines three major types of community development financing, spanning the public and private sector, as well as traditional and evolving products. The models examined will be Community Development Finance Institutions, New Markets Tax Credits and Social Impact Investing. A thorough description of each type of financing will be followed by an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. Once the merits and challenges of each model are identified, this report will examine different methods of scale, highlighting the adaptability to each model. / text

Community capacity building : a role for neighbourhood houses in community revitalizationLarcombe, Karen 05 1900 (has links)
Urban communities are undergoing a period of rapid change prompting concerns
about community fragmentation. By building social cohesion and revitalizing civic
participation, community development is viewed by many as a remedy to offset the
weakening of community ties. This thesis explores how a community agency- based
worker might help a fragmented community (re)build itself.
By employing a single case study methodology, this thesis applies community
development theories and related concepts to examine how a multicultural
neighbourhood in east Vancouver mobilized community action. The case study found
that a community capacity building framework, when supplemented with other
community development tools, is an effective model for strengthening community
leadership and building social connections. The study draws attention to the different
kinds of social and cultural capital required to develop neighbourhood solidarity and
bridge cultural differences in creating an inclusive community building process.
The community worker was based in a unique form of community agency called a
neighbourhood house. By providing resources needed for encouraging leadership and
developing social connectedness the neighbourhood house was found to be a key asset
for building community capacity. However, the study revealed that a neighbourhood
house's participation in community building is constrained by the multiple community
roles and relationships that it must maintain to ensure operational funding and a stance of
political neutrality in its everyday dealings. The case study concludes with a set of
recommendations for basing community development functions in a neighbourhood
house.

Cooking from the bottom-up: an exploration into the use of Vancouver's community kitchens as an empowerment toolChung, Carrie Lee 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the effectiveness of community kitchens as an
empowerment tool. This thesis observes the ways in which community kitchens empower their
participants, how they are being used to foster community development, and the opportunities
and constraints in using community kitchens as an empowerment tool. The research questions
are addressed in a variety of ways. First, a comprehensive literature review was undertaken to
define the meaning of empowerment and community development as used by this thesis.
Secondly, a multiple case study approach involving participant observation, key informant
interviews and a survey was conducted to examine these questions. A total of seven community
kitchens were involved in the case studies.
The research suggests that community kitchens do empower participants but at an individual
level. Participants learn skills such as cooperation, cooking and socialisation, and are
empowered through self-help and by gaining confidence and self-esteem. At a community level,
efforts have been made to empower the community and contribute to community building
processes but with limited output. In some community kitchens, community development
initiatives (such as volunteering to cook for a larger community) are in place but community
kitchens as a whole has a minimal effect in creating community. Community kitchens, however,
are effective at empowering individuals which is considered the first step to community
empowerment.

Class, contact, and location as factors in the spread of community development in IndiaBandyopadhyay, Suraj January 1980 (has links)
This is a study of the causes of the failure of the Community Development Program in India. The method used is a sample survey of all family heads in twenty-one villages in a rice producing area in West Bengal, combined with extensive qualitative interviewing of informants, government officials, and other relevant personnel. The study shows that a principal cause of the failure of the program is the steep system of stratification--in terms of economic resources, prestige, and power--that characterizes rural society in this area and the high degree of village fragmentation resulting, in part, from the caste system. The conclusion of the study is that the Community Development Program will be unable to attain its ends until a substantial redistribution of economic and political resources is carried out and a sustained attack on the caste system is made.
