Welcome

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.

    At INSITES this week, we celebrate an important achievement: the preservation of 97 units of affordable housing at Newcastle/Saranac Apartments in Boston's Lower Roxbury neighborhood. Without leadership from Mayor Martin J. Walsh, the strong commitment by his team led by Sheila Dillon at DND, and considerable collaboration among public agencies, the residents of Newcastle/Saranac likely would be facing displacement rather than celebrating the long-term affordability of their homes.
