NACEDA
and NDC Join Forces
to Provide Capacity Building Training
NACEDA
and the National
Development Council (NDC) are joining forces in a Capacity Building
Project, to provide local training opportunities for community economic
development (CED) associations. Special training opportunities have already
occurred through collaboration with NACEDA members: the Connecticut
Housing Coalition, the Massachusetts
Association of CDCs and the Housing
and Community Development Network of New Jersey. NACEDA is extremely
pleased to be working with NDC on these important training opportunities
and looks forward to growing and expanding the program.
### About NACEDA and the CDC Industry Through

2,000 community development corporations. In 2005, as an industry
total (aggregate) CDCs produced/created: 1.3 million homes
(since 1988), 774,000 new jobs and 126 million sq feet
of commercial/industrial space, housing for special needs populations

NDC, one of the oldest national nonprofit CED organizations, works to
increase the flow of capital for investment, jobs and community development
to under served urban and rural areas across the country.
“NDC places a very high value on the work and mission of NACEDA and its members. Like them, NDC rolls up our sleeves in communities across the country to get projects done and affect real change in neighborhoods that need it most,” said Jen Eismeier, NDC’s Director of Training Operations & Marketing. “With such a close connection to NACEDA members and their mission-driven work, we are delighted to have the opportunity to impart our knowledge of community development finance in the classroom to people who can put it to immediate use. By equipping people with the tools of community development finance, we can all work together to make a difference.”
