DHCD starts Certifying CDCs

The Department of Housing and Community Development has released guidelines for certifying community development corporations (CDCs) as required under M.G.L. Chapter 40H, a new state CDC enabling law passed in 2010. The statute and the corresponding guidelines emerged from discussions at the Massachusetts Community Development Innovation Forum in 2008 where our members and other stakeholders agreed that the 1977 CDC enabling law was out-of-date. 

By creating a formal certification program, Chapter 40H will enhance the credibility of the CDC sector and help attract more public and private resources to the field.
