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.

- A Decade of the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Preservation Law, Chapter 40T
In INSITES this week, we recap a webinar that CEDAC convened to celebrate the success of the first ten years of the Massachusetts affordable housing preservation law, Chapter 40T. This landmark law has been instrumental in the preservation of almost 20,000 affordable housing units in Massachusetts, while only losing 204 to market conversion in projects that were sold.

- DHCD Helps Affordable Housing Production and Preservation Across Massachusetts to Move Forward Despite Public Health Crisis
In October, the Baker-Polito Administration announced the 2020 Affordable Rental Housing Awards. The Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will provide more than $105.7 million in direct funding and $53 million in state and federal tax credits for the production or preservation of more than 2,400 housing units, including 2,166 affordable rental units to 28 projects in 19 communities across the Commonwealth. These housing developments will serve our most vulnerable residents, including those who have experienced the greatest risk to their health, safety, and livelihoods as a result of the COVID-19 public health crisis.
