![]() NACEDA Releases the 2022 Family Snapshot Report
The 2022 NACEDA Family Snapshot explores organizational changes among our membership over the course of a year. This year’s report focuses on the important role that state and regional associations play as capacity builders for community development organizations around the country — and how the supply and demand for capacity building services have changed since the pandemic. The Snapshot also reveals emerging trends in funding, equity, and staffing for
capacity building.
NACEDA members provided data and commentary that focuses the capacity building conversation on emerging trends impacting state and regional associations, as well as the thousands of local community development nonprofits who are their members. Thank you to all of the NACEDA members who completed the survey and contributed to the 2022 NACEDA Family Snapshot!

MA Member Receives Nearly $1M to Address Racial Health Inequities
The Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations (MACDC) received a five-year grant from the Massachusetts Community Health and Healthy Aging Funds (MA CHHA Funds) for their Housing Quality & Health Equity Initiative. They will use the funds to address health hazards posed by lead paint and poor indoor air quality through long-lasting, community-driven policy, systems, and environmental changes. Three local community development corporations also received MA CHHA awards for health equity initiatives.
“The trust that the MA CHHA Funds has put in MACDC and our members is indicative of an understanding of the huge impact that people’s economic conditions have on their health outcomes,” says Elana Brochin, MACDC’s Program Director for Health Equity. “Community development has a key role in improving those economic conditions and thereby improving health equity. Through the partnership with MA CHHA Funds, MACDC and our members will have a significant positive impact on health outcomes in our communities throughout the state”.
