Matt Elliott, el Presidente del Mercado Regional,manejan el programa en la regin del MedioOeste. Ese programa ha nanciado para que

directores ejecutivos de organizaciones sin nesde lucro y Lderes Emergentes en Detroit, sereunan con sus contemporneos en comuni-dades a lo largo de todo el pas donde el Bancode America lleva acabo actividades comerciales.Esas experiencias de igual a igual son un com-ponente clave del valor que Elliott y Douglasofrecen en el programa formal para cada bene-ciario de la subvencin, adems de los dlares sinrestricciones para operaciones. El intercambio deaprendizaje de profesional a profesional no tieneigual! Tome la oportunidad de ver en el video loque el SDBA ha hecho con los dlares del Banco

de America.Mara Salinas, Directora Ejecutiva delCongreso de Comunidades, ha estado en las trin-cheras con la comunidad, y especcamente enla Comunidad del Suroeste de Detroit, desde suadolescencia. Mara tiene un compromiso con losvecinos de la ciudad de Detroit, especialmentesus hijos, y dentro de ese compromiso, ella se hacomprometido personalmente a ser un ejemplopara las mujeres jvenes en la comunidad con unenfoque en la igualdad racial. Su mensaje y supresentacin son de gran alcance, ya que suenancomo verdad para cada uno de nosotros.

La Presidenta de SEMCOG KathleenLomako conoce planicacin, la poltica y elperl de cada comunidad que es parte de lafamilia SEMCOG. Ella ha servido en esta orga-nizacin de planeacin regional desde nalesde 1980. Las reglas y operaciones de SEMCOGestn delicadamente equilibradas. Por ejemplo,

cada organismo gubernamental tiene derechoa dos representantes, sin importar su tamao.Lomako observ y escuch, observando cmo

su predecesor navegaba los temas difciles, ascomo los esfuerzos de los funcionarios elegidos,tomando una posicin para asegurarse que lavoz de sus constituyentes fuera escuchada, y unaparte justa fuera justamente compartida. Es unmomento emocionante en la regin conocida comoel Sureste de Michigan. Detroit y el Sureste deMichigan tienen montaas a mover. Tiene unproblema? Consulte con Lomako!

El ingeniero de MDOT Tony Kratofltrajo el Proyecto Gateway de $ 270 millones dedlares, con conexiones directas entre el PuenteAmbassador y la multitud de autopistas en el

cruce de la frontera internacional de Detroit, atiempo (temprano en realidad) y dentro del pre-supuesto. Para aquellos de ustedes que puedenrecordar aos atrs, hubo una complicacin o doscon las cosas que el pblico necesitaba que se lle-varan a cabo, todo lo cual fue nalmente solucio-nado. Una cosa que MDOT y Tony decidieron lle-var a cabo, fue un mayor esfuerzo para involucrara la comunidad en donde la MDOT estaba traba-jando, y para asegurar que dentro de las reglasy regulaciones federales, los residentes del reaa mejorar y contratistas en esa zona obtuvieranuna oportunidad justa en los puestos de trabajo

y contratos que eran una parte de ese proyecto.A partir de ese compromiso lleg la Alianza parala Diversidad y Oportunidad en el Transporte. Yese compromiso se ha traspasado al proyecto M-1Rail, el Distrito de Detroit, y en el plan de cadaproyecto. La gente de Detroit est dndole segui-miento a lo que signica mejorar!

Jos y Sandra Lpez,La familia Lpezincluye a los paps Jos y Sandra, junto con sus3 hijas y 1 hijo, todos entre las edades de 12 y 24

aos. Ellos han tenido su negocio en el Suroestede Detroit durante 16 aos, y son dueos delmaravilloso restaurante Mi Pueblo en la AvenidaDix, el cual originalmente abri en una casade ladrillo, y ha sido agrandado por lo menos 5veces. A pesar de estar en el centro de un desar-rollo industrial grande, el establecimiento cuentacon un pblico muy el, y siempre est lleno degente. El Kiosko, el centro para eventos al cruzarla calle, es la ubicacin de muchas celebracionesculturales, as como eventos de la comunidad.Sandra Lpez, la matriarca de la familia, dijo,que siempre ha sido el sueo de mi marido abrirun restaurante. Nac en el barrio, y crec aqu,asistiendo a la Preparatoria Holy Redeemer. Elvino aqu cuando tena 18 aos de edad. Susrecuerdos favoritos del Suroeste de Detroit sonla gran diversidad de personas que conoci y conlas cuales convivi --- todas las culturas, y porsupuesto la comunidad hispana.

Our Honorees: Getting to Know ThemAlthough you will nd

the formal biographicalinformation about eachof the 2016 CommunityInvestment Southwest

Detroits ResurgenceHonorees, wed like toinclude some historicalinformation that isnt partof the formal record.

John A. James,founder of James GroupInternational andRenaissance GlobalLogistics, got into thetrucking business at atime when the InterstateCommerce Commission

required that ones com-petitors in the businessrecommend the autho-rization of a new truck-ing license. Clearly, notalways the most fairprocess. John challengedthis federal regulationall the way to the U.S.Supreme Court thatindeed did rule in hisfavor that the regulationwas an unfair restriction

of trade. In 1971, theJames Group opened forbusiness.

Lorron James, sonof the founder, alongwith his brother, JohnE. James, is taking thebusiness into the newcentury. Following in hisdads footsteps, Lorronhas taken on a numberof civic and communityleadership roles. Amongthese, is the DetroitRiverFront ConservancysRiviere28, a Detroit river-front enthusiast organiza-tion dedicated to lifelongsupport of the DRFC, byhosting programs andevents on and in supportof the RiverWalk, theDequindre Cut, and asso-ciated parks, plazas andgreen spaces. Lorron nowserves on the board of theDRFC, and has accepted a

gubernatorial nominationto the states nancialoversight of Detroit bank-ruptcy obligations.

Bank of Americahas been cultivating com-munity leadership acrossthe country for manyyears. Senior VP, TiffanyDouglas, and RegionalMarket President MattElliott run the programin the Midwest region.

That program has fundednonprot CEOs andEmerging Leaders inDetroit, to meet withtheir contemporaries incommunities across thecountry where Bank ofAmerica is does business.

Those peer to peer experi-ences are a key compo-nent of the value Elliottand Douglas provide inthe formal program for

each grant recipient, inaddition to the unre-stricted operating dollars.Peer to peer learning is,well, peerless! And takethe opportunity to see inthe video what the SDBAhas done with Bank ofAmericas dollars.

Maria Salinas,Executive Director of theCongress of Communities,has been in the trenches

with community, andspecically the SouthwestCommunity, since herteens. Maria has a com-mitment to the residentsof the city of Detroit,especially its children,and within that com-mitment, she is person-ally committed to be anexample to young womenin the community witha focus on racial equal-

ity. Her message and herpresentation are powerful,because they ring true foreach of us.

SEMCOG PresidentKathleen Lomakoknows planning, politicsand the prole of eachcommunity that is a partof the SEMCOG family.She has served with thisregional planning orga-nization since the late1980s. The rules and regsor SEMCOGs operationsare delicately balanced.For instance, each govern-mental body is entitled totwo representatives, nomatter its size. Lomakowatched and listened,observing how her pre-decessor navigated thetough issues as well aselected ofcials effortsand positioning to insurethe constituencys voice

was heard, and fair sharewas fairly shared. It is anexciting time in the regionknown as SoutheasternMichigan. Detroit andSoutheastern Michiganhave mountains to move.Have an issue? Checkwith Lomako!

MDOT EngineerTony Kratofl broughtin the $270 millionGateway Project, with

direct connects betweenthe Ambassador Bridgeand the multitude of free-ways at Detroit interna-tional border crossing, ontime(early actually)andwithin budget. For thoseof you who can remember

that far back, there wasa complication or twowith the things the publicneeded done, all of whichwas eventually worked

through. One thing thatMDOT and Tony decidedto work toward going for-ward, was an increasedeffort to engage the com-munity where MDOTwas doing work, and toinsure that within federalrules and regulations,residents of the improve-ment area and contractorsin that area got a fairchance at the jobs and

contracts that were a partof that work. From thatcommitment came thePartnership for Diversityand Opportunity inTransportation. ThatPartnership table nowincludes (getting the listfrom them tomorrow).And that commitment hasbeen rolled into the M-1Rail, the District Detroit,and into every projects

thinking. Detroiters arefollowing through on whatit means to step up!

The Lopez Familyincludes mom and dadJose and Sandra, alongwith 3 daughters and 1son, all between the agesof 12 and 24 years. Theyhave been in businessin Southwest Detroit for16 years, and own thewonderful Mi Pueblo

Restaurant on Dix Ave.,that began in a brick

home, and has continuedto expand at least 5 times.Although right in thecenter of major industrialdevelopment, the estab-

lishment has a very loyalfollowing, and is alwayscrowded. El Kiosko, thehall across the street, isthe location of many cul-tural celebrations as wellas community events.Sandra Lopez, the matri-arch of the family said,it has always been myhusbands dream to opena restaurant. I was bornin the neighborhood, andgrew up here, attend-ing Holy Redeemer HighSchool. He came herewhen he was 18 yearsold. Her favorite memo-ries of Southwest Detroitare of the great diversityof people she met andlived with---all the cul-tures, and of course theHispanic community.

Motor City Match,

managed by the DetroitEconomic GrowthCorporation, has madethe city a much morenavigable place for smallbusiness matching build-ing owners to interestedtenants and vice-versa.Through this programmany storefronts havegone from vacant to thriv-ing businesses addingto the economic and cul-

tural growth in SouthwestDetroit.

A pesar de que ustedencontrar la informacinbiogrca formal de cadauno de los Premiados de la

Inversin Comunitaria delResurgimiento del Suroestede Detroit, nos gustaraincluir alguna informacinhistrica que no es parte deldocumento formal.

John A. James, funda-dor del Group InternacionalJames y LogsticasMundiales Renaissance, seinici en el negocio de camio-nes en un momento en quela Comisin Interestatal

de Comercio requera queun competidor (de uno) enel negocio recomendara laautorizacin de una nuevalicencia para camiones.Claramente, no siemprefue el proceso ms justo.John cuestion esta regu-

lacin federal hasta llevarel caso a la Corte Supremade EE.UU., la cual efecti-vamente, pronunci en su

favor que la regulacin erauna restriccin injusta delcomercio. As, nalmente elGrupo James abri sus puer-tas al pblico.

Lorron James,hijodel fundador, junto con suhermano, John E. James,est tomando las riendas delnegocio en el nuevo siglo.Siguiendo los pasos de supadre, Lorron ha tomadouna serie de funciones de

liderazgo cvicas y comu-nitarias. Entre estas, es elde la Conservacin de laPropiedad a lo Largo delRo de Detroit Riviere28,una organizacin de Detroita favor de la propiedad alo largo del ro dedicada a

apoyar a patrocinadoresde toda la vida del DRFC(La Conservacin de laPropiedad a lo Largo del Ro

de Detroit), por medio de laorganizacin de programasy eventos en y en apoyo delRiverWalk (Paseo del Ro),el Corte Dequindre y susparques adjuntos, plazasy espacios verdes.

Selling/Buying a Houseon Land ContractA Land Contract, like

any contract, is an agree-ment between two par-ties. A land contract isan agreement between abuyer and a seller for adeed to the property.

Like a mortgage, aLand Contract generallyinvolves a down paymentby the purchaser and amonthly payment of thepurchase price plus inter-est. Normally, the pur-chaser will also pay forinsurance and taxes onthe property. The deedto the property stays inthe name of the selleruntil the Land Contracthas been paid off in full.Moreover, the purchaserhas the free use andenjoyment of the propertyand must perform allregular care and mainte-

nance.In these difcult eco-

nomic times we are fac-

ing, numerous individualshave lost their homesdue to foreclosure. LandContracts are a perfectinstrument for the pur-chase of a home for indi-viduals who have poor ordamaged credit and donot qualify for a mort-gage. Both the buyer andseller are free to negoti-ate terms of the contractincluding the sale price,monthly payment, inter-est, and duration of thecontract.

Land Contracts, likeany other legal instru-ment, should be exam-ined by a competent realestate attorney to insureall parties rights areprotected. Although ahand shake agreementmay seem attractive,even the best intentionedpeople have made seriousmistakes that they have

come to regret and shouldtherefore always consultan attorney.

La Venta/Compra de

una Casa de Contratode Tierra

Un contrato de latierra, es como cualquiercontrato, es un acuerdoentre dos partes. Unatierra contrato es un acu-erdo entre un compradory un vendedor para unaescritura de la propiedad.

Como una hipoteca,una tierra contrata gen-eralmente involucra unpago por el compradory un pago mensual delprecio de compra ms losintereses. Normalmente,el comprador ser respon-sable de pagar para elseguro y los impuestossobre la propiedad. Laescritura de la propiedad

permanece en el nombredel vendedor hasta quela tierra contrato ha sidopagada en su totalidad.Por otra parte, el com-prador tiene el libre uso ydisfrute de la propiedad ydebe realizar todo el cui-dado regular y manten-imiento.

Con los tiemposeconmicos difciles queenfrentamos, numerosaspersonas han perdidosus hogares por ejecucinhipotecaria. Contratos detierra son un instrumentoperfecto para la comprade una casa para perso-nas que tienen crditopobre o daado y no cali-ca para una hipoteca. Elcomprador y el vendedorson libres de negociar

trminos del contrato queincluyen no slo el preciode venta, pero el pagomensual, inters y laduracin del contrato.

Contratos de la tier-ra, como cualquier otroinstrumento legal, debeser examinados por unabogado de bienes racescompetente para asegu-rar la que proteccin delos derechos de las partestodas. Aunque un apretnde manos acuerdo puedenparecer atractivos, inclusolos mejor intencionadosde personas han hechoserios errores que hanllegado a pesar y por lotanto, siempre debe con-sultar a un abogado.
