Community Development Corporations
Summary
This ordinance establishes a definition of Community Development Corporations for purposes of eligibility for priority consideration in City administered funding. The ordinance aligns City practice with Missouri state law by incorporating the statutory definition of community development corporations, while setting additional local criteria related to nonprofit status, place-based service areas, governance, and demonstrated community revitalization activities. The ordinance requires eligible organizations to engage in multiple core areas of community development, including community organizing, and authorizes the City to apply consistent standards when awarding grants, loans, contracts, or other financial assistance to community development corporations. The ordinance establishes a certification framework and process; and contains a severance clause and emergency clause.
