The Southbridge Community Development Corporation is incorporated in Delaware and is a federally designated 501C3 tax-exempt Non-Profit Organization by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.  Housing and economic development are the primary areas of focus of the Southbridge Community Development Corporation (SBCDC).  Board officers of the SBCDC have maintained its existence, entered into the partnership with Habitat for Humanity to develop homeownership housing in Southbridge, and build upon that work through ARPA funding to initiate the Southbridge Community Beautification and Housing Revitalization Project.  The Southbridge residents and South Wilmington stakeholders who have ample experience in housing development will be engaged in the Southbridge Community Beautification and Housing Revitalization Project. 

Importantly, the historic and ongoing focus of Community Development Corporations in the U.S. is for low-wealth, economically disadvantaged urban neighborhoods and rural communities primarily comprised of African-Americans and other historically disadvantaged people to establish their own development corporations to address and resolve economic, housing, cultural and social inequities plaguing their communities due to decades of systemic legal, racial and social inequities.  

Utilizing the historic corporate development models in the United States that combine democracy and capitalism, low-wealth African-American people in their urban and rural communities recognized the value of developing "community-driven development Corporations" to serve their community and individual growth and development. 

Southbridge Community Development Corporation is dedicated to improving the vital conditions to enable all Southbridge residents to thrive without exception. These vital conditions include basic needs for health and safety, humane housing, meaningful work and wealth, lifelong learning, reliable transportaiton, belonging and civic muscle, and thriving natural world.
