Cincinnati Change, an Ohio not for profit company established in 1998, believes that one of the prime causes of crime is poverty and that we can change the conditions from which crime takes root in Southern Ohio is creating with McGraw Daniels, LLC (MDi) as its minority partner and contractor.
Cincinnati Change, through MDi, is creating collaborative small business development program that uses universal broadband internet to address poverty through building technology into homes using a motivational support skill-set-training job creation initiative .
It is Cincinnati Change’s mission to change the conditions in which children live so that they can grow up and become productive adults in a nurturing and supportive community environment where they have equal access to the global digital world.
We plan of developing a county wide network using foreclosed and troubled homes as network access points in their reworked loans.
Erase the Digital Divide (Universal Access Broadband) National Policy
The United States currently has no national broadband policy to offer every American access to affordable high-speed Internet connections. "Broadband will soon be an indispensable communication technology affecting the way we learn, the way we work, and the way we communicate," stated Charles Benton, chairman and CEO of the Benton Foundation. "However, at the dawn of this Digital Age, those who could benefit the most from this economically empowering technology are also those most likely to be left without access because of where they live or how much money they make." Roughly half of the country's households still lack broadband connections, and the United States continues to fall further behind with less than 79 million home out of the 120 million homes in the United States (US Census Data) connected to a broadband network. We will demonstrate for the next President a solution in Hamilton County that Eases the Digital Divide.
Cincinnati Change intends to partner to leverage financial instruments in Southern Ohio with Federal, State and local public funding and private capital building in Cincinnati under the Community Reinvestment Act. Cincinnati Change will use MDi and its partner OneCommunity to combine technology company investment and gifts together in support of Greater Cincinnati’s underserved communities while fostering best of class public service technology for all of Cincinnati’s residents. This technology can then be used on a day to day basis as a service bureau for other governmental agencies who can act as revenue anticipation stakeholders thereby reducing their capital expediters.
The business model we will utilized to foster the ability to acquire and/or repair existing buildings that will house technologies supporting the Cincinnati Change Universal Access Program, which will adopt the MDi & OneCommunity Universal Access Program for implementation in Southern Ohio. Under Cincinnati Change, each house in the City of Cincinnati will have fiber installed and a wireless network access point connected to an open source server and sensor package.
Cincinnati Change which has been a member of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) who since its inception in 1990 has spearheaded the economic justice movement. NCRC is the nation’s trade association for economic justice. Cincinnati Change has been a member since 2000. We have and will continue to draw on the expertise and experience of the board members and staff of NCRC in developing Cincinnati Change’s plans. Through NCRC, Cincinnati Change is associated with more than 600 community-based institutions (including public sector agencies and elected officials) that promote access to basic banking services, including credit and savings. Cincinnati Change’s goal, like NCRC’s, is to create and sustain affordable housing, job development and vibrant communities for America's working families.
NCRC’s mission dovetails with Cincinnati Change’s in building wealth in traditionally underserved communities in Greater Cincinnati and bringing low and or moderate-income people in Southern Ohio into the new financial mainstream being shaped daily. NCRC members have constituents in every state in both rural and urban areas. The organization has held ongoing meetings with major financial institutions and, on 9/21/08, with the Chairman of the Federal Reserve System Ben Bernanke at the Federal Reserve System’s Offices in Washington DC in regards to the current financial crisis.
Cincinnati Change believes that declining assets in the form of foreclosures are dragging down the economy Continued shortsighted attempts to provide liquidity to financial institutions will not resolve the issue unless Americans have equal relief.
Like Cincinnati Change, the Board of Directors of NCRC believe that before acting to shore up Wall Street, the government should first provide assistance to homeowners to avoid foreclosure, the core problem rocking the financial system, and then act to help Wall Street out of its current crisis.
