EJ Community Development Corporation

Empowering Communities Through Development

About EJ CDC

The EJ Community Development Corporation (EJ CDC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the economic and social empowerment of underserved communities. As a partner of Integral Enterprises LLC, EJ CDC works to complement affordable housing with wraparound services, economic development initiatives, and community programming.

Our Mission

EJ CDC's mission is to build strong, self-sufficient communities by providing resources, education, and opportunities that enable residents to achieve their full potential. We believe that affordable housing is just the beginning — true community development requires investment in people.

Lowe's 100 Hometowns

EJ Community Development Corporation is thrilled to be one of the 100 impact projects that are the cornerstone of 100 Hometowns, an initiative to celebrate Lowe's centennial. Lowe's received more than 2,200 submissions to the 100 Hometowns program, which invited people across the country to nominate their hometown projects in need.

The 100 Hometowns program will complete 100 projects across 37 states that rebuild areas reeling from natural disasters, repair critical housing, restore beloved community centers, and revive green spaces. The projects span urban, rural and suburban communities and will benefit an array of community members, from toddlers, teens and seniors to veterans, small business owners, students, and more.

We are beyond excited for the opportunity to provide a place for children to foster a healthy lifestyle and thanks to the time and effort of many, a new playground area will be located at Seminole Village Apartments!
