About CHDC
History
The Community Housing Development of North Richmond was incorporated as a community-based nonprofit affordable housing developer in 1990. CHDC emerged from a Housing Development Committee of the Neighborhood House of North Richmond, where there were growing concerns about the lack of good quality affordable housing in the area. Several other community churches and organizations involved in the formation of CHDC include Greater Richmond Interfaith Program (GRIP), Sojourner Truth Presbyterian, and Davis Chapel C.M.E. The Associates for Community Change and Development, a consulting firm, assisted with the start-up research and fundraising activities, resulting in a seed grant from Presbyterian U.S.A. which allowed CHDC to organize and incorporate as a nonprofit organization.
Mission
The mission of Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond is to provide permanent and affordable housing in North Richmond, primarily for current and former residents of the community. Community Housing Development Corporation of North Richmond’s objective is to eliminate the current blighted condition and develop housing for residents of North Richmond while attracting residents from outside the area who would benefit from owning or renting quality affordable housing. CHDC will continue to develop affordable housing throughout the Communities in West Contra Costa County.
We are a non-profit community development organization dedicated to the development of affordable housing, community organizing, homeownership education and asset building and preservation.
