Community development venture capital (CDVC) is a particularly adept model for overcoming the structural obstacles that rural geographies present for venture capital investors. Rubin explores some of the obstacles this model ...

Jutte, Douglas; Halpern, Jodi (2013)
Every application of Pay for Success (PFS) financing (e.g., recidivism, health care utilization, special education) must meet clear, measurable goals to obtain ?payout? funding.

Reflecting on What Works: Disruptive Leaders Are Essential
Naughton, Carol (2017)
Each time Purpose Built Communities (PBC) is invited to work in a new city, it refines its approach in order to make swift progress toward improving the lives of the millions of Americans living in concentrated, chronic poverty. In the past five years, PBC has learned several lessons about the role of the community quarterback, which has strengthened its collective ability to contribute to healthier, more resilient neighborhoods. In addition to a willingness to be disruptive, coordinating organizations must set clear boundaries with other change agents, include the voices of people who live ...

Scaling social enterprises: flexible responses for neighborhood stabilization
Bodaken, Michael; Holler, Cindy; Cherry, Elyse (2013)
Social enterprise models have been critical in the recent crisis because resources are few, the need is great, and the challenges are new. Since 2007, the market has changed rapidly and frequently. Significant federal policy response did not arrive until 2009; and in 2013, public stimulus has largely been exhausted even as foreclosures continue to affect millions. In this changing market context, social enterprises have the advantage of an inherently responsive and flexible approach to creating social impact through a self-sustaining, or at least highly efficient, business platform.
