HomeBase Cincinnati is excited to welcome Emily Linesch as the 2026–2027 CDC Fellow!
Over the next year, Emily will work alongside the HomeBase team, supporting the volunteer leadership of Madisonville Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (MCURC) and Mt. Washington CDC as they drive neighborhood-led change.
A bit about Emily:
Emily is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s Urban Planning program with experience in community and real estate development. She has contributed to local projects with College Hill CURC and 3CDC, and currently serves as a board member for Mt. Washington CDC. She is passionate about community organizing, engagement, and neighborhood development.
This Fellowship reflects HomeBase’s commitment to strengthening Cincinnati’s community development ecosystem by investing in emerging leaders and building capacity within local CDCs.
The CDC Fellowship is designed as an apprenticeship-style leadership pipeline, connecting talented individuals with hands-on opportunities to learn, contribute, and grow into long-term roles within the field.
Through this program, HomeBase is:
• Recruiting and training emerging leaders from university programs
• Expanding organizational and project capacity for local CDCs
• Fostering collaboration, shared resources, and professional networks across neighborhoods
HomeBase looks forward to the impact Emily will make in the year ahead. Welcome to the team!

At , CDBG supports a small but mighty team of two, fuels real estate development like the transformation of long-blighted 4024 Hamilton, and powers programs like REFRESH that help small businesses grow and thrive.
You can see that impact here: new life at Sidewinder Coffee, and Bridges Nepali, new homes rising on Witler Street, and spaces like Dean’s Mediterranean Table activating the neighborhood.
This is what CDBG is designed to do. Invest locally, leverage additional resources, and turn vision into reality.
As we celebrate Community Development Week, we are also making it clear: continued investment in CDBG is essential to keep this work moving forward.
WHO BENEFITS FROM CDBG?
Low- and moderate-income people are the direct program beneficiaries. States and entitlement cities and counties receive direct program allocations. Small, rural communities receive assistance through their state.
Nonprofit organizations, contractors, and other local partner organizations serve as program subrecipients to deliver local CDBG activities. State and local governments work with their local program partners and harness input from the public to develop community development programs that invest in low- and moderate- income people and neighborhoods.
One of CDBG’s greatest strengths is its ability to leverage other investments. As a flexible resource designed to accommodate local needs, CDBG often serves to match other sources of public and private funds. Program resources also help projects and services become reality providing gap funding to meet budget needs.
Behind every project is a pipeline of partnership 🤝🏡.
CDBG resources start at U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, flow through the City of Cincinnati, and are put to work by HomeBase Cincinnati and neighborhood leaders like Price Hill Will.
These dollars don’t sit still. They leverage additional funding, fill critical gaps, and bring projects to life in neighborhoods like Price Hill.
The result: local businesses growing, spaces reactivated, and communities investing in themselves.
Community Development Week is about showing exactly how this work happens and why it matters.
CDBG HISTORY AND PURPOSE:
Enacted by Congress in 1974 under the Housing and Community Development Act and signed into law by President Gerald Ford on August 22, 1974, CDBG provides necessary funding to communities across the country to address infrastructure, economic development, housing, disaster recovery, and other community needs.
CDBG was the result of the consolidation of eight categorical programs which were federally funded. Consolidation meant that communities no longer had to compete for funding of each program and allowed community leaders to make their own decisions about resource distribution at the state and local levels. The inception of CDBG greatly increased the efficiency of the federal granting process.
Since 1995, CDBG regulations have been periodically revised to further increase program effectiveness by increasing flexibility for grantees, adapting to statutory changes, and responding to audits by the Inspector General.
