In this report, Enterprise summarizes findings from Phase II of the CDO and ECDO Funds, which provided continued support to 32 community-based organizations working in Detroit. Using a mixed-methods evaluation, the report explores how these funds helped organizations diversify revenue, build capacity, and scale their impact through housing development, community services, and cross-sector partnerships. Findings show that 97% of grantees secured new sources of revenue, and grantees collectively contributed to the creation or preservation of more than 1,400 affordable homes and delivered services to over 100,000 residents. The report also outlines key lessons for funders and practitioners on sustaining community development organizations and strengthening local ecosystems through collaborative, flexible funding models.
