Northside Community Development Corporation Information

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, our mission is to foster community development and create and preserve affordable and diverse housing opportunities in Chicago through education, training, advocacy and development. Northside Community Development Corporation (NCDC) was founded in 1996 as Rogers Park CDC. As the development arm of the Rogers Park Community Council. Upon inception, NCDC took control of a problematic building on Morse Avenue in the heart of Rogers Park. The end result was a much needed affordable senior apartment building and office space for the Rogers Park Community Council. Northside Community Development Corporation has expanded its operation and reach since its inception. With a focus on preserving and creating affordable housing opportunities, NCDC has developed into one of the most successful homeownership housing counseling agencies in Chicago. In 2002, we received our HUD certification to provide housing counseling. More recently, NCDC has partnered with various employers to provide housing counseling and down-payment assistance through various Employer Assisted Housing initiatives, including the Chicago Public Schools, Teacher Homebuyer Assistance Program. Today, NCDC continues to provide unique homeownership strategies to make homeownership possible for our diverse client base.
