Economic growth must be the priority for every community. CNHED works with our members, other advocates and policymakers to strengthen and cultivate the District’s community development economy. We not only work with our partners to advocate for policies, initiatives and programs that promote job creation and encourage investment, but also ones that address racial inequity and result in equitable economic prosperity throughout all District communities.
CNHED believes that everyone in DC needs equitable access to home broadband, devices, and digital skills training. Black and Brown residents, who are disproportionately left behind, deserve digital justice now.
CNHED’s economic development working groups are open to members and non-members dedicated to solving some of the most important equitable development issues facing Washington, DC. These groups are formed from key advocacy priorities identified by CNHED’s Economic Development Committee. Each working group is chaired by a CNHED Board member who reports the group’s strategies to the appropriate committee. To get involved please complete the online sign up form or simply stop by a meeting.
Promoting community economic development as a pathway towards economic opportunity and self-sufficiency.
Promoting equal access to contracting and procurement opportunities by local small businesses.
Advocating for DC’s small business community to improve funding, coordination and quality of technical assistance, increasing access to capital, and the sustainability of businesses along the District’s neighborhood commercial corridors.
Improving collaborative efforts in support of residents’ right and capacity to work and earn a living wage.
Peer-learning opportunities designed for local practitioners, employers and stakeholder partners to share, learn and elevate approaches, programs and services, and best practices to train and equip a skilled workforce (or prepare local residents for high-demand employment opportunities that pay a living wage).
and join the fight for a District where all residents can live in thriving communities that are racially, economically and socially just!
