Midwood Development Corporation

About

Since its founding in 1976, MDC has responded to changing community needs and issues. When the agency began, the neighborhood was plagued by illegal drug activity. MDC was instrumental in helping resolve it. Later, MDC moved into housing development and preservation. As community needs changed, MDC responded with new programs. Today, our programs include housing services for renters, tenants and home owners; youth programs; supported employment and recreational programs for people with developmental disabilities; and commercial revitalization.
