About our Organization:
Hacienda CDC is a Latino Community Development Corporation that strengthens families by providing affordable housing, homeownership support, economic advancement and educational opportunities. We have 381 affordable housing units, with an additional 366 in construction and 175 in development. Acknowledging the role that we play in supporting the community and anticipating this growth, prior to the pandemic we formed a Safety Committee to build our emergency response plan, create organizational capacity in emergency response and communications, and train employees and leaders in basic safety measures.
