This professional report examines the key contextual and organizational
factors affecting community development corporations (CDCs) in the development of
affordable housing. Using the findings of a systematic case study carried out by William
Rohe and Rachel Bratt, I offer a detailed discussion of these factors in the context of a
number of case studies, including an extensive discussion of the life cycle of Eastside
Community Investments (ECI), a CDC that served the Near Eastside Neighborhood in
Indianapolis, Indiana. Following this discussion, I explore a number of policy
implications of this case study for the community development sector. The effective
production of affordable housing involves a number of key players, including CDCs
themselves, their intermediaries, the government, and the community; the active
participation and commitment of all of these organizations is crucial to the long-term
sustained success of the entire industry. / text
