HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Community Housing Development Organizations


“Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO’s) are established to address the housing needs of a particular geographical area.  As such the CHDO is required to have legitimate community representation.  Therefore these organizations must develop a process in which low-income residents of the designated area can participate.  CHDO’s must also establish a mechanism by which they can be govern,  consequently they must have a Board of Directors consisting of a minimum of one-third representation from the community to be served and a maximum of one-third from the public sector, consisting of public officials and employees.”

Our goal is to ensure that our CHDO’s provide affordable housing for low- income persons of that community as a developer or a sponsor. Through the CHDO’s assistance communities are being enhanced and the promotion of creating safe and sanitary neighborhoods while stimulating economical growth for these communities can be achieved.
