Pre-Development Projects

Project Goals

What proportion of Goal 1 overall is complete at this point?

50%

What are the barriers and opportunities for completion that impacted goal 1 in the last month?

We have conducted some intial research already with support from SELC, in the next month we will solidify our community agreement with partners. This past month we have have 1-1 meetings to complete MOUs with partner organizations. We also established bi-weekly meetings with the project team. Case study research is underway.

What proportion of Goal 2 overall is complete at this point?

0%

What are the barriers and opportunities for completion that you impacted goal 2 in the last month?

Our goals are fairly dependent on another. Once we complete Goal 1 we will have the necessary information to meet Goal 2.

What proportion of Goal 3 overall is complete at this point?

0%

What are the barriers and opportunities for completion that you impacted goal 3 in the last month?

Similar to the previous response. Once we get through at least 50% of goal 2 we can begin engaging with the Goal 3 activities.

What constraints or limitations with internal capacity is the organizarion experiencing related to its Pre-Development Project?

I think one thing we are a little worried about is managing cash flow with this project and the slowness of the city process in reimbursements.

What opportunities, if any, did the organization take advantage of related to its Pre-Development Project?

Thankfully we received a grant from Builders to support kicking off this process.
