2 years of Quick Strike, 2 Years of Wins! A Recap
At HomeBase Cincinnati, we believe in momentum. Over its first two years, the Quick Strike Acquisition Program has proven to be a catalytic tool for neighborhood development across Cincinnati.
This $1 million initiative, launched in FY2024, is designed to move faster than traditional city programs— unlocking strategic properties and accelerating catalytic neighborhood projects, now $2 Million dollars have been released into neighborhoods, leveraging over $120 Million in development.
Discover the ABC’s of CDC’s
The ABCs of CDCs emerged from a shared desire to simplify the answer to a common but complex question: “What is a Community Development Corporation?” This student-led project breaks down the complex work of CDCs into an engaging, easy-to-understand storymap and pamphlet. Through interviews with CDC leaders and thoughtful design, the ABCs of CDCs lifts up community voices to demystify the impact of these vital organizations.
OUR STRATEGIC PLAN
By 2025, HomeBase will be more impactful, have increased capacity and more sustainable funding for operations. Our advocacy and partnership efforts with the City of Cincinnati will secure increased funding for Community Development Corporations (CDCs). And, our members will feel supported by, think of, trust and leverage us as the go-to resource for community development expertise.
