The Memphis Area Community Development Corporation (MACDC-TN) is dedicated to tackling the interconnected challenges of vacant properties and affordable housing shortages. By revitalizing blighted areas, we transform communities and provide individuals and families with the chance to thrive.
We approach this work with a comprehensive strategy that includes affordable housing, blight removal, and community reintegration. Our efforts not only provide safe homes but also create economic opportunities and promote long-term stability for vulnerable populations such as veterans, seniors, and returning citizens. We believe every neighborhood deserves the opportunity for revitalization, and we are committed to making that vision a reality.
We provide more than a roof; we offer a new beginning with clean, safe, and well-maintained private and shared rooms.
This is our proactive attack on the root causes of neighborhood decline. We accept donations of blighted, vacant, and distressed properties from individuals, companies, and municipalities.
