4 of 13 ROUND 12I. BACKGROUND
In the 1960's, interstate highways were the key strategy for so-called Urban Renewal following the end of World War II. An eight-lane highway (I-95) was planned for Boston with a cloverleaf to be placed at the center of Roxbury. Under the power of eminent domain, thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed; entire neighborhoods were obliterated. As the far-reaching impact of the plan became evident, a broad coalition of community champions formed to develop a plan to stop the highway. While mobilizing large-scale demonstrations, they also collaborated on a land-use plan that focused on modernizing mass transit and strategically redeveloping vacant parcels. After more than 25 years of sustained civic engagement, a moratorium was declared on further highway development, and a voice for affected communities was mandated to be a part of the community planning and development process.
With the enactment of Chapter 443 of the Acts of 1990, the Massachusetts legislature earmarked proceeds from redevelopment to establish community trust funds for the benefit of the people of Chinatown and Roxbury, whose homes and businesses were lost during the clearance of parcels 3 and 18. That same year, the Boston Zoning Code (Article 50 of Text Amendment #152) established a policy that "[t]he role of community participation in determining appropriate land use regulations and zoning is critical to the success of any zoning article or development plan." (
Roxbury Strategic Master Plan, page 102.)Under these legislative and regulatory guidelines, a multi-ethnic group of real estate developers negotiated a parcel-to-parcel linkage agreement that connected the development of Ruggles Center in Roxbury to the development and sale of One Lincoln Street in Chinatown. The development team pledged a percentage of their profits to benefit non-profit organizations in impacted communities. In 2004, a portion of those community benefit dollars seeded the Roxbury Trust Fund, which is a tax-exempt public charity under section 501(c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is administered by the Roxbury Trust Fund Committee, a volunteer board of Trustees who include appointees of the Governor of Massachusetts and the Mayor of Boston, and elected officials who represent Roxbury at the State House, as established by Chapter 443, above.
The Roxbury Trust Fund Committee Trust has four funding priorities: Youth Development, Family Services, Community Economic Development, and Civic Engagement.
II. PURPOSE OF FUNDS
The economic climate of the past few years has posed significant challenges for federal, state and local governments. While challenging for all, the unprecedented high unemployment rates, mortgage foreclosure crisis and weak financial markets have had a disproportionate effect on low-income communities of color. This crisis is particularly acute in Roxbury, which has historically been challenged by these, as well as, other economic development pressures including: the impacts of high and violent crime, public policies that create challenges to economic development (zoning, regulation, etc.), the inability to match available jobs to people because of a jobs-skills mismatch; and a lack of capacity amongst critical Roxbury based community-based organizations to systemically impact the problem or to take advantage of emerging growth opportunities.
5 of 13 ROUND 12Roxbury has many assets including commercial districts, community development programs, and several projects underway (or in development) that have the capacity to create or connect Roxbury residents to available or emerging jobs; that can spur economic growth; and position Roxbury residents for opportunities to access training, higher paying jobs and to build community capital.
While these are serious challenges, the community's ability to bring voice to these concerns, as well as other issues, are critical components to producing a of a healthier Roxbury. Creating opportunities for residents to become actively and "civically engaged" significantly enhances a community's ability to meet the challenges of the day. Keeping the flow to and from communities around issues helps to bring voice, leverage talents, and positions communities such as Roxbury to take on and address significant challenges and opportunities.
In the coming year, and within a significantly changed political landscape, there are numerous community organizing efforts developing (or underway) that have the ability to significantly impact positive outcomes for residents of Roxbury, including their ability to access jobs, housing or to change policies that continue to have a disproportionate affect on low-income communities. The upcoming Federal Census, changes to CORI, housing policy, commercial district revitalization efforts, and redistricting are a few examples of potential changes that will have dramatic implications for Roxbury residents.
Fortunately, Roxbury is home to a wide array of non-profit organizations, associations and community development organizations that are, or could be uniquely positioned to impact these
Community Economic Development and Civic Engagement issues. Through this round of funding, the Roxbury Trust seeks to support organizations and institutions that are best positioned to advance the numerous community, economic development and civic engagement challenges, as well as opportunities that impact Roxbury.Available funding can be used to support direct service, planning or capacity building efforts. Please Note: All grant funded activities must adhere to federal laws and regulations regarding non-partisanship at all times.
The maximum grant award is $30,000
. Grants will be paid in two equal installments, pending satisfactory review of the required mid-year progress report. The contract period is 1/1/11 to 12/31/11III. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS
