This included over 2,100 hours of direct service, covering strategic planning, HR systems, community engagement, and program design. The Alliance supported the 2024 Housing for Everyone (HFE) grantees by matching local organizations with specialized consultants. In addition, the Alliance launched two national Peer-Learning Networks focused on Environmental Justice and Community Economic Development, drawing more than 150 participants for practitioner-led learning. These efforts were complemented by 10 fieldwide newsletters and a well-trafficked updated website that expanded access to tools, research, and funding opportunities. 295590 Advocacy: In 2024, the Community Opportunity Alliance advanced national advocacy on behalf of community-based development organizations. The Alliance engaged in direct policy efforts, contributing to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developments reconsideration of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, participated in multiple coalition letters supporting affordable housing legislation, and hosted advocacy training at the People & Places Convening. The newly launched Community Development Voice Initiative amplified local practitioners perspectives on critical issues like the rise in insurance costs affecting affordable housing. These perspectives were shared with policymakers and media, resulting in national coverage including an article in the New York Times and a feature series in Shelterforce. The Alliance also began development of a comprehensive 2025 policy agenda in collaboration with the People & Places Collaborative, and will engage Community Development Voice representatives in response to the new presidential administrations priorities. 138234 Grounding Values Research: The Grounding Values in Research program continued to strengthen the identity, visibility, and impact of community development organizations by producing thought leadership rooted in lived experience and community-based practice. In 2024, the Alliance released four webinars, including the widely attended Resident Voices and Money Meets Community sessions, reaching over 1,100 participants in total. A Shelterforce Under the Lens series further amplified the programs findings. The Alliance also progressed to Phase 3 of its research initiative, commissioning a series of issue briefs addressing topics such as workforce development, organizational models, and advocacy strategy. Looking ahead, the engagement strategy for this research will target national policymakers and funders, enhancing the fields influence in shaping equitable and resilient communities. Lobbying: The Community Opportunity Alliance engaged in limited lobbying activities in 2024 as part of its broader mission to support equitable community development. These activities focused on educating policymakers and advocating for federal policies that expand affordable housing, strengthen community-based organizations, and improve economic opportunity in underserved communities. Key lobbying actions included communicating with federal agency officials and members of Congress to influence decisions related to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, federal housing tax credits, disaster recovery funding, and community ownership initiatives. The organization signed several coalition letters and joined national campaigns seeking increased appropriations for affordable housing programs and supportive legislation. All lobbying activities were nonpartisan, issue-focused, and represented a small portion of the organizations overall activities. 823175 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false true true false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X X X The Organization 2025182660 1660 L Street NW Washington DC 20036 Frank Woodruff Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X X 154518 0 3150 May Rodriguez Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paige Carlson-Heim Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Matt Hull Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Glaude Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dafina Williams Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rachel Diskin Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Phoenix Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patience Malaba Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mercedeh Mortazavi Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Ettore Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Pratt Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roberto Barragan Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bambie Hayes-Brown Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Fitterer Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Claudia Wilson Randall Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Deveney Perry Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 154518 0 3150 1 false true false 33460 574181 607641 Conferences 900099 54600 54600 54600 3522 3522 0 Other 900099 718 718 718 666481 55318 0 3522 X 800 800 154518 110317 38878 5323 330969 236291 83277 11401 5920 5920 77315 54865 19912 2538 40206 28705 10116 1385 35867 25606 9025 1236 349310 242590 53197 53523 30121 16094 13722 305 25301 18064 6365 872 53614 44266 8246 1102 42717 42717 870 870 4007 2860 1009 138 1151535 823175 250537 77823 536211 163610 101781 225500 225500 5035 3794 2111 1241 1728 1728 867331 392079 79995 89297 250 750 80245 90047 X 687086 -150368 100000 452400 787086 302032 867331 392079 -485054 0 X false true X true false X 329619 771956 1836155 614194 607641 4159565 329619 771956 1836155 614194 607641 4159565 1488273 2671292 1793 3522 5315 15700 4765 115775 313 718 137271 4302151 0.62090 0.55120 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true true false false false false true 29559 false false 29559 false 5035 3794 1241 1241 X 666481 666481 666481 1151535 1151535 1151535 Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740) The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, NACEDA may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of NACEDA and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities as of year end. NACEDAs policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year.
