Learning from the past: the asset disposition experiences of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, The Resolution Trust Corporation, and the Asset Control Area Program
Seidman, Ellen; Jakabovics, Andrew (2009)
While there is little to celebrate in the current foreclosure disaster, one potential silver lining in the large number of bank-owned properties is the opportunity to turn those properties into community assets. A May 2008 conference hosted by the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy at New York University and sponsored by the Ford Foundation brought together policy experts and practitioners to share best practices for "Transforming Foreclosed Properties into Community Assets." Most of the discussion focused on what can be done by partners working together at the local level. The ...

Cows, Kiva, and Prosper.Com: how disintermediation and the internet are changing microfinance
Bruett, Tillman (2007)
Recent advances in finance and technology are providing new opportunities for individual investors to support and invest in microenterprises, and in some cases, bypassing intermediaries altogether. While these efforts at disintermediation are still new, they present a new way for poor communities to attract capital that has the potential to unleash the entrepreneurial capacity of the poor. They might also hold the key for innovation in other related fields, such as community development finance.

Creative placemaking in community planning and development: an introduction to ArtPlace America
Bennett, Jamie (2014)
In examining the projects in which ArtPlace America has invested, we found four ways that creative placemaking has regularly functioned in communities?ways that are both of interest to those involved in community planning and development, and those that are grounded in existing research. Communities consistently employ creative placemaking interventions to strengthen economic development, encourage civic engagement, build resiliency, and/or contribute to quality of life.

Hunting for data sources: how improving data can increase capital for emerging domestic markets
Yago, Glenn; Zeidman, Betsy; Manning, Jill (2007)
The data on emerging domestic markets are fragmented, non-standardized, and not widely accessible. One way to remedy this information gap would be to create a ?data consortium? that leverages existing resources and uses them to build an integrated database. Increasing the amount and quality of data available on EDM firms would provide opportunities for improved analysis, policymaking, capital flow, and product development.

Turning uncertainty into risk: why data are the key to greater investment
Tingerthal, Mary (2006)
Proceedings of the Conference on the Secondary Market for Community Development Loans. <p> The role of data dominated much of the discussion at the Federal Reserve?s Secondary Market for Community Development Loans Conference. In our discussions of how to attract new investors to the field, the group reviewed all the things that investors are looking for: volume, geographic diversity, homogeneous assets, etc. But what became clear was that, above all, investors need data. Any investment is possible only if the investor has the necessary information?the data?to decide whether to make an ...

Coming out as a human capitalist: community development at the nexus of people and place
Kramer, Christopher; Andrews, Nancy O. (2009)
Recent research is making the case that the communities we live in can help or harm us at every level?physically, socially, emotionally. These effects can stay with us for the rest of our lives. There is a revolution in knowledge afoot that demonstrates convincingly that investing in people, especially in children, is every bit as important as investing in markets and buildings. It is important for the community development field to take this on board and, it is potentially transformative for our strategies and programs.

Pay for Success: opportunities and risks for nonprofits
Law, Jonathan; Callanan, Laura (2013)
Across the United States, a variety of social sector stakeholders are looking to ?pay for success? (also known as pay for results or pay for outcomes) approaches to enhance the reach and impact of social programs. As a contribution to this national conversation, McKinsey & Company recently published a comprehensive study on the potential for social impact bonds (SIBs) in the U.S. In discussions of the study?s findings, stakeholders repeatedly stressed that nonprofits are likely to continue providing the majority of social services in the U.S. for some time, even if for-profit or hybrid social ...
