National Development Council

NDC’s work focuses on HOMES, JOBS and COMMUNITY. Founded as a national nonprofit in 1969, NDC has worked for almost 50 years fulfilling its mission to increase the flow of capital for investment in low-income communities. NDC directs capital to support the development and preservation of affordable housing, the creation of jobs through training and small business lending and the advancement of livable communities through investment in social infrastructure.

NDC acts as partner, teacher, advisor, investor, developer and lender, bringing together technical know-how and capital for community and economic investment. We provide technical assistance, professional training, small-business lending, debt and equity financing for residential, commercial, public, and nonprofit facilities. Our nationally-recognized training programs help build a professional workforce in economic and community development that can advance and sustain progress in their communities.

NDC’s American Model™ of P3 works on behalf of a government or non-profit entity to deliver privately designed, built, financed, operated and maintained facilities. Our process ensures the best possible building for the least cost and burden to the governmental or non-profit entity. Our emphasis is always on the “public” in Public Private Partnerships. We are dedicated to reducing costs through better management and low-cost financing while maintaining the highest standards of design and construction.

OVER $2.0 BILLION IN TOTAL DEVELOPMENT
NDC P3™ projects include municipal office space, city halls, justice centers, parking garages, laboratory space, student housing, libraries, biomedical facilities, and hospitals. We have completed over 4.0 million square feet of usable development space.
