MCCD is an association of nonprofit community development organizations committed to expanding the wealth and resources of neighborhoods through housing and economic development initiatives. For over twenty years, MCCD members have worked together to increase opportunities for development of quality, community-based projects through collaborative action on public policy issues, loan fund development, public education efforts, and long-term strategic planning. Through these efforts, we have been able to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiencies gained by a shared vision of cooperation on the economic development work of Minneapolis neighborhoods. Our individual members vary in their approach to community development. Some focus mainly on developing high quality affordable housing for low and moderate-income individuals and families in the Twin Cities. Others promote entrepreneurship and small business development. Still others take a comprehensive approach by linking housing, employment and neighborhood revitalization. All seek to direct economic and social resources towards underserved communities.The staff of MCCD work to facilitate cooperation and communication among our members and advocate on behalf of the work they do. A core function of MCCD is to manage a micro-loan program designed to improve capital access for new and growing neighborhood-based businesses.
