Asian Community Development Corp

ACDC's Mission

Asian Community Development Corporation (ACDC) works in underserved and immigrant Asian American communities in the Greater Boston region to create and preserve affordable, sustainable, and healthy neighborhoods. We achieve this by building affordable homes and vibrant spaces, empowering families with asset-building tools, and strengthening communities through resident and youth leadership.

What We Do

ACDC was founded in 1987 to address the affordable housing crisis in Boston's Chinatown. ACDC has since expanded into a holistic community programs organization serving low-income, immigrant households in Greater Boston, Malden, and Quincy. In addition to building affordable homes, ACDC offers multilingual financial literacy and first-time homebuyer education, youth and resident leadership programs, multilingual civic engagement initiatives, and placekeeping, which convenes youth, residents, and artists to create community-centered public art.
