Description

The 28th Legislative District Community Development Corporation (28th CDC) is a private, locally initiated non-profit community development corporation created to improve the quality of life for all residents of the community and act as a catalyst for economic and community development for the Chattanooga neighborhoods that comprise the 28th Legislative District. Most of the communities that have been designated by the city of Chattanooga as communities of need are within the 28th CDC service area. These communities are populated by individuals with low or marginal incomes, high incidences of school drop out rates, under employed (or higher unemployment rates) a significant number of public housing residents, and families dependent on public assistance as well as large numbers of single-parent households. These are communities whose conditions belie a disturbing reality: few opportunities for economic improvement.
