We believe......everyone deserves a place to call home

“Before moving into our CDC apartment, my family and I lived in a motel. We were making long commutes to my daughters’ school and everything was tough. Today the school is five minutes away and I am working with seniors in the area. It is all good!” • Carmen, resident of Palmer Cove Apartments, 9 Quality family apartments that transformed a blighted corner of the Salem Point Neighborhood.

...in developing the leaders of tomorrow

“My hands on experience at YouthBuild North Shore gets me excited about my future opportunities in my community. I’m now going in the right direction, looking forward to graduation and going to college.” • Luis, employee of YouthBuild-North Shore, the newest YouthBuild in Massachusetts and the only YouthBuild in the region

...community is best built from the ground up

"I go around the state, and I don't usually see this level of community support, tenacity and vision" • Susan Schlesinger, President of The Life Initiative, commenting on the strength of CDC’s community organizing and resident involvement in Beverly’s Gloucester Crossing neighborhood

...in focusing our real estate development on transformational opportunities which have a broad impact on the communities we serve

“We didn’t just build good buildings. We changed a neighborhood,” • Jack Meany, CEO of the YMCA of the North Shore, partner on Holcroft Park Homes, Beverly’s transformational neighborhood development project

...environmental responsibility starts with us

“The North Shore CDC has been a leader in creating new energy efficient and healthy housing” • Kristin Blum, Senior Program Officer of Boston LISC, commenting on Cabot Street Homes in Beverly as the first affordable, low-rise multi-family building in Massachusetts to reach LEED-Platinum certification
