We build the community development field to advance stronger, healthier and more prosperous communities nationwide

Nearly 6,000 community development organizations work in low- and moderate-income communities to develop affordable housing and commercial space, support small business development, provide social services, and advocate for their community. We build the community development field through convenings, research, advocacy, capacity building, advocacy, resources, and our national voice.
