nearly 300 guests gathered on September 28, 2006, at the beauti-fully restored Grand Ballroom in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood.

A high point of the evening’s program was federal CDFI Fund Director Arthur A. Garcia, who

formally presented CCLF with a $585,000 Financial Assistance/Technical Assistance Award.

As it marks its 15th anniversary, CCLF has much to celebrate. Since 1991, CCLF has made loans total-ing $23.6 million: leveraging more than $460 million in addi-tional investment in low-wealth Chicagoland communities and helping build or preserve homes for more than 3,000 families.

originally conceived in 1988 as a response to identified commu-nity development credit gaps in Chicago, CCLF remains committed to filling these gaps and identify-ing opportunities that benefit low- and moderate-income people.

1st deputy Commissioner oF Housing —and CCLF aLum—stepHen maduLi-wiLLiams

dr. tHabiti H.n. Cartman in 2002

Though the retail market in his corner of South Shore was far from certain, and though he had little real estate development experience, Dr. Cartman risked his own assets to take on the project.

He saw his building as a spark for more retail, commercial and residen-tial development along the exchange Avenue corridor to the south.

With a $75,000 predevelopment loan (since repaid) from CCLF in 2002, the project was underway. The develop-ment includes an improved health center and will bring in 5-6 new retail tenants, ultimately creating or retain-

ing more than 50 jobs.

It appears that the rehabilitation of the South Shore Health Center build-ing has also influenced development nearby: a large apartment building has recently been rehabbed, a local grocer reopened, and a new coffee house opened this summer.

Tragically, Dr. Cartman died in a boating accident last year just as his vision was beginning to come to frui-tion. His wife Carla and son Ayinde accepted the Fannie Lou Hamer Award for Grassroots Community Development at CCLF’s 15th anniver-sary celebration on his behalf.

Editor’s Note: Community Blueprint includes regular profiles, recognizing our friends’ financial, in-kind and pro-grammatic contributions.

CCLF’s Fannie Lou Hamer Award for Grassroots Community Development was conceived to recognize individuals (and their organizations) who are based in a challenged Chicagoland community and work tirelessly, in a multifaceted way, to improve their community’s quality of life.

The award’s namesake, Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977), was considered by some to be the soul of the civil rights movement in mississippi. mrs. Hamer championed the importance of diffuse leadership, believing that each individual’s involvement made the movement stronger. CCLF similarly believes that it is often ordinary citi-zens—like the inaugural awardee, Dr. Cartman—who are best positioned to improve and lead their communities to positive change.
