Webinar: Partnering with The Ohio CDC Association

Wednesday, June 26th – 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Ohio CDC Association is a statewide membership organization of nearly 300 locally-based rural and urban nonprofits and aligned organizations that work to rebuild neighborhoods through initiatives such as economic development, affordable housing, financial education, and local food access. OCDCA supports member organizations through capacity building, programs, and public policy advocacy, especially at the Ohio Statehouse. As discussions around housing development heat up in Columbus, members of the OCDCA team will share about new state-funded housing programs and proposals for additional policy changes that may be coming. Additionally, they will share about their work supporting community development nonprofits around Ohio, and share opportunities for historic preservation organizations to join their membership.
