Lawndale Christian Development Corporation
Lawndale Christian Development Corporation (LCDC) organizes with the community, for power, to eliminate health and wealth disparities in the Chicago neighborhood of North Lawndale and around the world.
LCDC’s work is done through the development and management of affordable mixed-use housing, providing homeownership for working families, and creating cooperative businesses in pursuit of economic development.
At our core, we are a neighborhood-centered, resident-inspired organization that recognizes and works to improve the challenges faced in our area that profoundly affect residents’ quality of life. These challenges, or social determinants of health, can be broken down into these categories: housing stability, financial stability, education access, community support and improving the neighborhood environment.
