Project Data and Contextual Alignment

This template is designed to provide a structured method for documenting project details, aligning with key initiatives and goals discussed in our conversation history and the provided sources, particularly concerning the Cully Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District and Prosper Portland's broader strategies.

The template's parameters allow for comprehensive capture of project information, directly supporting the objectives of community-led development and anti-displacement efforts in areas like Cully'.

• Project Description: This section captures essential information about the project's purpose and scope.
  • The "Problem Statement/Need and Goals and Objectives parameters are crucial for outlining how a project addresses issues like gentrification and displacement in neighborhoods such as Cully'. For instance, the Cully TIF District aims to invest tens of millions of dollars over 20+ years specifically to benefit people who are at risk of being displaced, focusing on creating stability and opportunity for people of color and low-income individuals.
  • Community Benefit directly ties into the vision for Cully, which seeks to provide residents with safe, affordable housing, thriving BIPOC businesses, and rewarding employment opportunities. Projects in Cully are intended to ensure current residents benefit from investments and neighborhood change, expanding opportunities for future generations.
• Budget and Funding: This section ensures transparency and alignment with funding sources.
  • Participatory Budget Allocation and Feasibility are key, as TIF funds can generally only be used for land acquisition and buildings, rather than services or programs.
  • Funding Alignment is vital. For TIF districts like Cully, a significant portion (at least 45%) of TIF resources across all TIF districts are required to go to the Portland Housing Bureau to support affordable housing activities, with the remainder going to Prosper Portland for economic and urban development. The template's feasibility and alignment parameters can help verify if a project adheres to these guidelines, ensuring it matches the TIF District Plan and relevant Five-Year Action Plans.
• Community Involvement and Engagement: This emphasizes the community-led nature of many Portland initiatives.
  • Parameters like "Proposed Engagement Activities, Targeted Outreach, and Inclusivity Measures directly reflect the co-creation model used for the Cully TIF District. This model explicitly sought to center the voices and priorities of groups vulnerable to displacement, including Black people, Indigenous people, people of color, renters, mobile home residents, low-income individuals, and small business owners. The Cully Community Leadership Committee (CLC) provides guidance and oversight, with its meetings open to public comment.
• Evaluation and Monitoring: This focuses on accountability and impact measurement.
  • Success Measurement and Follow-up with Participants align with Prosper Portland and Portland Housing Bureau's commitment to ensure investments match community priorities outlined in Action Plans and TIF district goals [20]. Evaluation criteria for grants, such as the Community Livability Grant (CLG), often consider community benefit, support, partnerships, and project feasibility, schedule, and budget.
• Geospatial Data: This helps visualize a project's context.
  • Project Location (for Map) and Voter Turnout Data can be used to understand the geographic context and community reach of a project, which is particularly relevant in areas like the Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District that protects residents and businesses on the floodplain.
• Other Relevant Data: This captures additional critical information.
  • Demographics of Participants is crucial for ensuring equitable engagement, aligning with the targeted universalism approach of Cully TIF District, which focuses energy on historically marginalized groups to benefit the entire community.
  • Timelines & Milestones are essential for project implementation and accountability, as seen in the requirements for CLG applications.
• Stakeholders:
  • Team Organizations (e.g., Hacienda CDC, NAYA Family Center, Habitat for Humanity Portland Region, Verde, Cully Association of Point of Contact is essential for communication, as seen with contact information for programs like the Community Livability Grant or the Community Workforce Navigator Program .
  • Participating Municipalities specifies the geographic reach, crucial for understanding project scope within Portland's TIF districts like Cully, Gateway, Interstate, and North Macadam.
  • Sectors (e.g., Housing, Economic Development) categorize projects based on their primary focus, which aligns with Prosper Portland's priorities and TIF fund allocation.

This template is designed to facilitate detailed record-keeping that supports the goals of equitable and community-driven development across Portland's neighborhoods, leveraging the capabilities of Semantic MediaWiki for enhanced data organization and retrieval.
