We build the community development field.
Our Alliance advances stronger, healthier, and more
prosperous communities nationwide.
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 communities.
How we build the field:
- Advocacy to increase the flow of resources to community development organizations
- Convenings of community developers, the associations that serve them, and key partners
- Actionable research that increases effectiveness and sustainability
- Capacity building to empower the next generation of community development leaders
Mark Your Calendar! We're proud to partner with the Housing Network of Rhode Island to bring our National Summit to Providence, RI on August 24–26. Join community development association professionals from across the country for this dynamic peer-learning event.
