Community Engagement Specialist Vista, CRCD
AmeriCorps, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079
The Coalition for Responsible Community Development (CRCD) was founded in 2005 in the Vernon Central Neighborhood of South Los Angeles by residents and community leaders to revitalize the area after decades of disinvestment and improve quality of life.
CRCD serves 100% low to moderate income residents with a special focus on supporting individuals and families involved with homeless services and child welfare systems. CRCD employs a holistic community economic development approach, providing innovative support and intervention models in K-14 education, workforce development, business development, social enterprise, homeless services, and affordable and permanent housing development. Building on our track record of “changing lives and building neighborhoods responsibly,” CRCD is conducting an 18-month research and planning effort to formulate a regional, collaborative economic development initiative. This multi-year initiative will strengthen South Los Angeles economic recovery from COVID-19 while positioning residents and businesses to benefit economically from ongoing economic development in South Los Angeles and adjacent areas as well as major sporting events coming to Los Angeles such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup (if Los Angeles is finalized as host city) and the 2028 Summer Olympics.
