For over 40 years, CEDAC has helped to strengthen communities across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by providing non-profit community development organizations with the financial resources they need to build quality affordable housing and child care facilities. Additionally, our staff of professionals help affordable housing developers, child care providers, and workforce development professionals with the technical assistance they need to turn an idea into reality. Our early stage capital and predevelopment loans has led to the production of thousands of affordable housing units from Boston to the Berkshires, and to quality child care centers in urban, suburban, and rural communities.
Welcome to our Website – if you are a non-profit community development organization seeking to produce or preserve affordable housing or a community-based non-profit childcare provider looking to upgrade or renovate your learning space, we may be able to help you. And if you have any questions regarding our loan products or our public policy work, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The program was established in 2016 with funding from the Kuehn Charitable Foundation (KCF), with the goal of helping non-profits explore a project’s feasibility at the earliest stages of development.

- CEDAC Research Shows Far Fewer LIHTC Units Are at Risk of Losing Affordability than Predicted
At INSITES this week, we share a new research study that shows far fewer units in the Commonwealth financed through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program are at risk of losing their affordability status than predicted. A careful look shows that the vast majority of LIHTC projects have affordability restrictions that will extend beyond the program's required minimum of 30 years of affordability, which is good news for thousands of families across the state.
