Cornerstone Development Corporation Mission

The Cornerstone Community Development Corporation, (CCDC) exists to respond to the needs of residents living in the South Dallas and Fair Park communities. This historic community has suffered the ravages of becoming a transitional area with the loss of businesses, deteriorating housing and the influx of low-income populations. Underemployment and unemployment have characterized these neighborhoods along with the accompanying problems of low-performing schools, single parent families, teenage pregnancy, youth violence, substance abuse, crime and homelessness.

The mission of CCDC is to assist residents in breaking out of the cycle of poverty and to nurture them in living productive lives as they give back to their community.

Cornerstone Community Development Corporation is certified by the City of Dallas as a "Community Housing Development Organization" (CHDO).  It is a private, non-profit, community based service organization with the mission of providing decent housing that is affordable to low and moderate income people within the South Dallas community it serves.
