Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC)

Our Mission

To develop and maintain housing opportunities for families and seniors, who meet established income-guidelines, that are affordable, safe, and enhance the neighborhoods in which the properties are located.

About CHDC

CHDC was established in 1995 as a non-profit, community-focused organization that provides first-time home ownership opportunities to low- to moderate-income individuals and families. Through various partnerships, CHDC has been key in revitalizing distressed neighborhoods by renovating existing homes and rebuilding residences. CHDC has helped over 100 families purchase homes in Des Moines and Polk County.

CHDC’s role in our community has expanded to include developing and managing rental housing for seniors. CHDC continues its growth through partnerships with the City of Des Moines, the State of Iowa, federal agencies, and the Des Moines business community.
