Community Opportunity Alliance

NACEDA works closely with its member associations to shape state and local policy, connect the local to the national, and advocate for funding for community development corporations (CDCs). The organization also facilitates peer-learning and networking programs to boost the capacity of its members. Over the next few years, NACEDA expects to see increased ability for community groups to leverage investment, more productive public development planning processes, and stronger relationships between community developers and national representatives. NACEDA can be contacted at their Washington, DC office or through email or phone.
