In 1998, BB&T's CRA/ Community Development Department formed a partnership with the National Development Council (NDC)* to build the capacity of CDCs. Through this partnership, came the development of the BB&T Capacity Building Program.
Capacity Building Program Goal:
-
To equip non-profit CDCs with permanent, self-sustaining skills to successfully develop affordable housing, vital community facilities, and job creating projects in their neighborhoods.
-
To provide non-profit CDCs with information on legal resources, financial needs, and project execution for community development.
* NDC is the nation's oldest, most experienced non-profit organization dedicated to economic development finance and affordable housing.
